Instructions
- Fold the Soft Succulent cardstock at the score line and burnish with your Bone Folder to create the base card.
- Adhere the 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock inside the card.
- Using the Cut & Emboss Machine and the Slit Card Texture die, die cut the 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″ piece of Fancy Flora floral paper.
- Adhere the Soft Suede cardstock to the back of the die-cut paper, making sure the Soft Suede cardstock shows through the opening of the die-cut paper. Adhere to the base card.
- Cut 10″ of the Satin Ribbon and create a “zig zag” pattern using small drops of Liquid Adhesive to adhere to the front of the card.
- Stamp the sentiment onto the 1/2″ strip of Fancy Flora paper using Soft Suede ink. Adhere to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals so that it will also help hold the ribbon in place.
- To finish, add 2 of the In Color Opal Rounds to the left of the sentiment as desired.
