I made this card for my son who just moved in to his own apartment in Philadelphia last week. I remember how excited I was when I finally had my own living space all to myself. The red building in the window looks very much like the building he is in. Supplies are from the July 2025 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit. I followed THIS tutorial by Tina Smith of Cards & Coffee Time. She added some extra detail that I did not, but I really love the way mine turned out.
This card stock from La-La Land Crafts is fabulous. It's double sided with different city scenes on both the front and back of the window. This is what you see when you open the card from right to left.
This is what you have when you open the card completely. There's plenty of room to write your message to the recipient here. I can't wait 'til Greg gets this. He will love it and he will get all the love that went into making it.

It is clear to see that you put your whole heart into this card for Greg! Man, if I lived in Philly, I would shop that Reading market weekly - sooo much to eat, I would need a month!
Best wishes to your son, Steph - such a fabulous gift... hope he has a mantle!

What a great fold! The window and DSP make for a super scene. How fantastic for your son to have his own place. I think we save best cards for the people most special too us. Thanks for joining in my CAS Watercolour challenge at The Paper Players.
Ooohhhhh, he is absolutely going to see all of the love and talent that went into this little masterpiece! Spectacular card, Stephanie!
WOW! What a FABULOUS card Stephanie! Those papers are wonderful and go with that window die perfectly! I love the fold on this card too! What a labor of love and your son will totally treasure this!! Hugs. :0)
Fabulous card for Greg, Stephanie! Love the fun fold idea and the colorful city cardstock!!! He'll love it.
What a gorgeous card. I love looking through the window and seeing the city street. Creating with some of the design on the window was perfect. So glad you joined the challenge of Anything Goes at Die Cut Divas. Arlene , Die Cut Divas, DT.
