Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Lemon Lolly cardstock in half at the score line to create your card base.
- Adhere the 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock inside the card.
- Adhere the 3 pieces of Full of Life paper as shown in the sample. Tip: place small dots of the Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue all over the back of each piece. Set aside for 1 minute until “sticky” – this will allow you to move the papers around until they are lined up. Once you have them where you want them, press down firmly on each piece to adhere permanently.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the right side of the 3/4″ strip of White Cardstock using the Pretty in Pink ink pad. Adhere to the right side of the card front, lining up as shown in the sample.
- Stamp the baby pea onto the center of the 3″ square of Basic White cardstock using Pretty in Pink ink. Color in using the SU 1000 Blend. Punch out the image using the 2″ Circle Punch.
- Cut out 9″ of the Ribbon and fold into 3″ pieces (using a Z pattern). Adhere to the back of the Circle. (Tip: I find it easier to adhere using scotch tape.) Using several Stampin’
Dimensionals, adhere to the card front so that it slightly overlaps the 3/4″ sentiment strip.
