Designer’s Tip: When heat embossing, I recommend always swiping the area with the Perfect Printing Pouch before stamping—this is especially helpful when using detail embossing powder, which otherwise can stick to unwanted areas.

Instructions

  1. Place the card with the fold at the top. Cover the card front with brown cardstock. Cut 6 1/4”x4 3/4” of teal/pink tile and round the bottom two corners with the 1/2” Corner Chomper. Glue centered to the card. Use the Corner Chomper to round the bottom two corners of the card.
  2. Cut a 6”x6” square of yellow floral paper. Use the Flower Mini 8 punch to create a punched circle (follow the package instructions). Fold the circle 2 1/2” from one edge so that the pink side shows. Place a piece of brown cardstock inside the folded circle and trace around the pink folded section with a pencil. Remove the cardstock and cut 1/8” outside of the pencil line. Glue the cut cardstock to the folded circle, behind the pink folded portion. Glue the fold shut. Mat the large circle on brown cardstock with a 1/8” border. Glue to card with the straight side along the top as shown.
  3. Add teal Jewel Dazzles™ to the flower punch-outs. Cut 6 1/4” of yellow gingham ribbon. Cut another 8” of the same ribbon and tie it in a loose bow. String the other piece of ribbon through the back center of the bow. Tighten the bow. Place the ribbon with the bow across the card 3/4” from the bottom. Use Zips™ adhesive lines to attach the ribbon to the card with the bow at the right side as shown.
  4. Inside: Glue 6 1/2”x2 1/2” of yellow floral across the top. Glue teal/pink tile pattern to cover the remaining area. Glue 6 1/2”x1/2” of brown cardstock across the middle.
  5. Emboss in white your stamped greeting in the center of 3 1/2”x2” of pink texture. Round the corners with the Corner Chomper. Mat on brown cardstock with a 1/8” border. Glue to center.
  6. Punch once on the corner of brown cardstock with the Mini 8 punch. Glue the design to the bottom left corner of the card, trimming to fit. Repeat for the right bottom corner. Add teal flower Jewel Dazzles™ along the brown stripe, on the yellow floral paper, and on the two brown corners as shown.
