Project Recipe
Cut cardstock, Glimmer Paper, and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer and Paper Snips:
- card from Crushed Curry Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" of dictionary entries on tan background design from Monster Bash Designer Series Paper, cut so the words are horizontal on the horizontal rectangle
- 2-1/4" square from Gold Glimmer Paper
- 1-3/4" square from Crushed Curry Cardstock
- 4 book images cut from piece of books design from Monster Bash Designer Series Paper
Adhere the large piece of dictionary entries Monster Bash Designer Paper to the front of the Crushed Curry card.
If you haven't already done so, cut out 4 book covers from the Monster Bash Designer Paper by hand using Paper Snips.
Adhere the book cover cut outs to the front of the card so they overlap each other a bit and form an arch in the center of the card.
Pick out the square filigree frame die from the Ornate Frames Dies. Put the die on top of the Gold Glimmer Paper square on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Run through the tool. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and/or paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Use strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the glimmer paper filigree frame to the front of the card so it is centered over the bottom of the arch of books on the card front.
Mount the "Open if you dare" framed sentiment from the Spooktacular Bash Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Soft Suede Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small Crushed Curry square.
Pick out the matching small square die with pointy corners from the Ornate Frames Dies. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment label image on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the image is centered. Run through the tool.
Use Black Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment label cut out to the front of the card so it is centered in the glimmer paper filigree frame.
Cut a 3" piece of Crushed Curry 3/8" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card so it is centered under the sentiment label cut out.
