Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Bubble Bath Cardstock in half at the score line. Reopen and run the front of the card through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Folder. Refold card and burnish well for a crisp fold to create your card base.
- Adhere the 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock inside the card.
- Using the 3” x 4-3/4” Berry Burst Beautiful Bokeh Paper, use your scissors to cut a “banner notch” at the bottom of the paper. Adhere to the front of the card.
- Using the 3” square of Bubble Bath Beautiful Bokeh Paper, use the 2-3/8” Circle Punch to cut out the circle. Adhere to the 3-1/4” x 3-1/2” Beautiful Bokeh paper and adhere to the front of the card.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the 1/2” strip of Bubble Bath card stock using Berry Burst ink. Adhere to the card as shown in the sample using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Tie a bow using the White Baker’s Twine and adhere to the sentiment strip using a Mini Glue Dot.
- Run the 1-1/2” square of Basic White cardstock through the Cut & Emboss Machine and die-cut the small butterfly and small thorax from the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid folder and dies.
- Adhere the butterfly thorax to the center of the butterfly. Adhere the butterfly to the circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish. Tip: I placed Dimensionals down the center of the butterfly so they wouldn’t show.
