- Adhere the White cardstock to the left side of the Pool Party cardstock as shown on the sample.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the 1-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ Basic White cardstock using Black Memento ink. Run the cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and cut out using the sentiment tag from the Lovely & Sweet Bundle dies.
- Cut 6″ of the Pool Party ribbon and fold the ribbon every 2″ to create a “Z’; hold together using Glue Dots.
- Adhere the ribbon to the back of the Sentiment Tag using Glue Dots, then adhere the sentiment tag to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish.
A Tip from Barb
This is actually a very simple card to create, it’s only the Lovely & Sweet Dies that was used on the sentiment tag that stepped it up to a Worker Bee card. If you don’t have these dies, simply cut your White cardstock to 1″ x 2″ and you’ll be good to go!
