Llama Tell You - Make A Wish

A friend recently asked if I could make special cards for two of her granddaughters who both have birthdays in May.  I love to personalize the cards I make so I asked her their names, their ages and what kind of things do they like?
So Ruby is turning 8, she loves pink and llamas.  Lila is turning 11 and she likes ballet.

I knew the wonderful Center Picture Window Card Die and Card Add On Dies from Lawn Fawn would be perfect to use for these special cards.  

This small 3 1/4" x 2 3/4" card looks very simple when it's closed.........
but it's quite spectacular when it is opened!
The Trees and bird die cuts are from the Add On set as well as the front die cut DP panel and smaller side panels used inside (with the stitched edges).  
The clouds are adhered to thin acetate strips and so look like they are floating in the sky.  
The sentiment and heart on the front and the llama inside are from the Llama Tell You stamp and die sets from Lawn Fawn. 
 Lawn Fawn has a great YouTube video on how to put the window card together.  It's easy peasy once you've seen it done.
And here's the card for Lila.
You'll find the supplies used for this card listed at the end of my post.
This shows how the pieces are attached and layered.
Below you can see the clear acetate strips holding up two of the hearts, seemingly floating in the air!
 Here's the back - lots of space for you to write a message to the receiver.
