Paper Pumpkin- March / February and cards and more


Directions below and video here: https://youtu.be/mu5XwJ0gnf8





 To make the slider card no matter the width size of the card :  It’s a 3/8 inch front cut  and back score. A  1 1/4 inch in to make slit.  Start slit at 1 inch top and end slit at an inch above total length of card .. Inside slider note card should be a 1/4 inch narrower than total width and length. Does not matter if you are using cards and more or paper pumpkin or any precut card you can use these dimensions. 

For the window Card: Cut an inch in from all sides with trimmer - you could go to an 1 1/4 or tear as shown in video. Just go slow when tearing to not mess up 😀 - Have an image planned out for the inside.
