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!
