Create a beautiful card featuring a Sweet Pea Garden design with a dimensional aperture window effect. The embossing folder creates a raised 3D design with a chamfered frame, and layering the die-cut elements with foam pads creates depth and the illusion of looking through a garden window.

Tips from the show

• You can paint the Sweet Pea flowers in colours like pink, red, purple or blue for added personalisation.
• Don't waste the trimmed mount pieces—use them for sentiments or other card elements.
• The die can be removed from the embossing folder using low-tack tape, allowing you to use the folder alone if desired.
