"Happy Birthday" is from Starform Stickers:

To make this card:  Start off with a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" piece of card stock.  Score along the 8-1/2" side @4", 4-1/4", then punch the right side edge. You will need the 1/2" to allow for the height of the recess in the window.  After punching the bottom edge, adhere Washi paper to the card stock, position the recessed window die (note: die is shown face up, when cutting - it should be face down to cut the window). Die is from Art Gone Wild CCD-007 Small Inset. Window opening is 1-3/4" x 2-1/8".

After the die has cut the opening, use a bone folder to crease open the window and recess area.

Underside of the card should look like this:

Apply sticky tape, trim off excess. Use a 2-1/4" x 2-5/8" piece of card stock to cover opening.

Finished window should now look like this.

Now that was really easy.......................try one by using the die or making the recessed opening yourself.
