- Adhere the 1/2″ x 5-1/2″ strip of Shy Shamrock In Color Glimmer Paper so that it just covers the bottom of the 2 Glimmer Trees.
- Using the 1″ strip of Basic White cardstock, stamp the sentiment onto the cardstock using Shy Shamrock ink. Adhere to the right side of the card using adhesive, centered onto the 1/2″ Glimmer Strip.
- To finish, use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Shy Shamrock cardstock tree just to the left of the sentiment.
A Tip from Barb
Here’s an easy way to adhere the delicate die-cut trees to your card. Using your Silicone Craft sheet, place a small amount of the Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Using a sponge dauber, lightly dab the dauber into the glue and lightly tap off on the Silicone Mat. Turn the die-cut upside down and place on the Silicone Mat; dab glue all of the back of the die-cut and then adhere the die-cut to the card. When done, let the glue dry and then peel off when dry. Easy Peasy! 😊
