Hello, friends! Today I am sharing a fun die cutting idea with new Hero Arts Looking Glass Windmill Tulips Dies used to decorate the panels of a mini slimline tri-fold card. These amazing new dies can create the most fun layered scenes with just a few cuts. I colored in the die cut panel images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers (so that the coloring doesn't bleed through the Bristol Cardstock) and adding some simple stamping and sentiments for a fun birthday-themed card!

Bristol Smooth Cardstock was trimmed to 9 3/8" x 6 1/4".

The Hero Arts Looking Glass Windmill Tulips and Hero Arts Looking Glass Rain & Clouds were die cut from the folding panels of the tri-fold card to create two of the layers. The additional layers were die cut using two more Looking Glass dies and and a Hero Arts Square Infinity Die.
