- Next cut your Baked Brown Sugar paper to 5 1/4 x 4.
- Have several scrap pieces of Very Vanilla Card Stock Available.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Fold Crisp Cantaloupe Card Stock in half, this is your card base. (use a bone folder to make fold line more crisp).
- Put your Baked Brown Sugar Card Stock into the Chevron Embossing Folder and run through the Big Shot (Refer to Big Shot for sandwich directions).
- Adhere the Chevron Embossed Paper to the Crisp Cantaloupe card stock with snail adhesive.
- Next select the banners from the Banner Blast stamp set you wish to use, ink them up and stamp onto pieces of scrap paper. (Keep in mind you want to be able to punch out the images after you stamp them so keep them fairly close to the edge.) Punch out the images.
- Next stamp the flower from Banner Blast onto scrap paper and punch out using the flower from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.
- Next take the image from the perfect pennants stamp set and ink up with Baked Brown Sugar and stamp onto larger piece of Very Vanilla Card Stock. When you are done use the Banner Framelit and run through the Big Shot.
- Next take your Calypso Coral Twine and place on a safe surface. Run the Snail Adhesive over it. *Some snail will get on surface so take care in using and clean up extra right away with adhesive remover. Next place on card in a half circle from the corner as pictured.
- Next take each banner that has been punched out and place a dimensonal under it and then place them in the order you wish over the bakers twine so it looks like they are hanging from it.
- Now take your greeting and place dimensionals under it and place to the left. Use snail adhesive to attach the flower to the small banner and the greeting.
- You are done! If you want an extra shot of bling you can place a small basic pearl or basic rhinestone in the middle of the small flower.
