Includes Butterflies stained glass effect design on pdf to make 2 different cards (a 3d Card and a regular Aperture Card) as well as being able to use as a photo frame.. or perhaps to display your rubber stamp/decoupage designs. The back of the 3d card has an aperture so light shines through design.. particularly effective if placed on a windowsill. The Aperture card cutting file also fits my other stained glass/suncatcher designs pdfs ( cup775225_198 and cup804577_198 )
The Happy Birthday text inside Aperture Card is intended to be drawn with pens/pen attachment - if do not have can use own greeting ( In fcm file greeting is already set to draw..)
Printable acetate is readily available and recommend you give it a try, I have them all over the house more as home decor than cards, but you can send them as cards as well :) does fold flat for posting.

Aperture Card is 265.30 mm and everything else in proportion (reason this is important is that exotic birds pdf is sized to fit svgs at that size)Extras folder (in 3d Card folder)File contains optional frame for front of 3d Card (copy of masking frame..) and alternative side panels to go over finished 3d card side panels, if want a contrasting colour/design

This makes such a beautiful card and is actually very quick and easy to make. I used white card stock for the card base and added the purple frames and trim. I attached different sizes of pearls along the card and a quick sentiment.
Love that this card folds flat and can be mailed easily!
