#ClubG45: Christmas Time Double Shutter Card
By Tanya Cloete
“Hello dear G45ers!
I am happy to share my project this month featuring the stunning Graphic 45 Christmas Time collection.
I created a Shutter Card by Ginger Ropp from the G45 Card Club Vol 8.
I added a smaller Shutter Card on top of the original, creating a Double Shutter Card.
Have a look here for the amazing tutorial on how to put this card together by the lovely Charee Filimoehala.

Herewith the Supplies and Instructions you may use to recreate such a project:
G45 Supplies used:
Other Supplies used:
Bow Cutting Die
Star Cutting Die
Scoring Board

I created the normal size Shutter Card as per the original project by Ginger Ropp. I then added a smaller shutter card on top with the following measurements:
Card Base: 10″ x 4″
Score each side at 2 1/2″ x 7 1/2″
Window piece: 5″ x 3 1/2″ I used a star cutting die to cut the shape
‘Shutter’ piece measure the same size as
the original (7 1/2″ x 3 1/2″)
Fussy cut some elements from the collection and a bow, assemble and fasten with a Santa hat brad, to decorate the card on the outside and inside.
Cut two strips from the collection; this will be used for the belly band.
Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Papercrafting!”
