Card Tutorial
Stamping
Note: I always like to start with my stamping first. I like to make sure I allow the ink plenty of time to dry, and just in case I mess up, this allows me to flip the cardstock over and get a free second chance!
1. Use Coastal Cabana ink to stamp the pom pom image randomly on a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5 1/4″ x 4″.
2. Use Bermuda Bay ink to stamp “Let’s celebrate you!” on a piece of Whisper White cardstock that measures 3 3/8″ x 1 3/4″.
Die Cutting
3. Die cut a Bermuda Bay scalloped circle (approximately 2 1/4″ in diameter) using the Layering Circles Dies.
4. Die cut a Whisper White stitched circle (approximately 1 7/8″ in diameter) using the Stitched Shapes Dies.
Creating the Buckle Fold
5. Adhere a piece of Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper measuring 4″ x 2 3/4″ to a Bermuda Bay card base that measures 8 1/2″ x 4 1/4″, scored at 5 1/2″. The DSP will fit with an equal border on all sides on the smaller side of the scored card base.
6. Slide the card base/DSP layer into the Classic Label Punch. Insert the paper all the way, so the cardstock touches the back of the punch, center on the left and right sides, and punch.
7. Use a Bone Folder to crease the Bermuda Bay card base along the score line.
8. Adhere the Whisper White cardstock stamped with the pom pom to the inside of the card base.
