Designing Clear Cards with a Little Mojo and CTMH

Clear cards are some of my favorites! They can be a challenge to make since you can see the inside from the outside and sometimes it's hard to know how much of the clear to cover up. (Personally, I usually cover the entire back of the card, but not always!)  I took a look at this week's Mojo Monday sketch and I thought the design was perfect to use in a little tutorial on the clear cards.

Today's card feature's the Fanfare paper pack which is part of the current Perfect Pair, available through the 15th.  (next up is Lucky, July 16-20)   I'm linking up to Mojo Monday 249 and also to the Heart to Heart geometric challenge (line, line, circle, square).

Here's the overall card:

This is what the outside looks like alone:

And here's what the inside looks like:

Finally, here's the video with some tips & ideas:

Supplies used in this card are all from Close To My Heart:

• Fanfare paper pack
• 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" clear cards
• Black StazOn stamp pad
• Sparkles Red, Pink, & Purple assortment
• Live Out Loud, July 2012 stamp of the month
• C1494 Card Word Puzzle ("happy")
• D1387 Made with Love (on back of card, seen in video)
• D1187 For Every Occasion ("birthday") - discontinued - I only inked up part of a sentiment stamp, so you can easily substitute D1475 Card Chatter - Birthday
• D1300 Circle Around (stars on front) - discontinued - a decent substitute would be D1458 American Celebration

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope to see you again soon!
