Tutorial - Aperture Cards


Aperture means "window", so we're basically talking about any cards that have a hole cut into them to give you a view to the inside. Generally, that's where you would place a sentiment or special embellishment so that it is visible from both the outside and the inside of the card.


1. Start by decorating the front of your card blank as desired. Keep it fairly simple at this stage as you can add more embellishments at the end.


2. Use your favourite tool to make a hole through the front of your card - cutting dies, punches, circle cutters, a craft knife, etc.



3. Add your embellishment or stamped image through the hole in the front of the card, making sure you avoid any overlap with the edges of the hole. Your embellishment will be visible from the front of the card, but will actually be on the inside.

4. Decorate as desired... easy!
