Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Night of Navy cardstock in half at the scoreline to create your base card.
- Adhere the 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock inside the card.
- Adhere the 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Take to the Sky paper (pattern 1) to the front of the card.
- Adhere the 3″ x 4″ piece of Take to the Sky paper (pattern 2) to the 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Night of Navy cardstock. Adhere to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the scrap of Basic White cardstock and run through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the die from the Unbounded Love Dies that come in the Bundle.
- Adhere the sentiment label to the front of the card using adhesive (see tip below).
- To finish, add 3 of the Smoky Slate pearls as desired on the card.
A Tip from Barb
The Unbounded Love die you’ll be using actually cuts out 2 pieces – the inside piece and the frame. To make it easier to adhere to the front of the card, I used a piece of Scotch Tape to hold the 2 pieces together before I adhere to the front of the card. Easy peasy!
