Project Recipe
Card base Hello Honey cut to 5.5 x 8.5 and scored at 2 1/8 and 6 3/8 on long side. You'll also need a strip 11" by 1" for the band to hold the card together
From designer paper cut the following: 2-1 3/4 x 5 1/8 for front of card and 3 x 5.5 for inside.
From Whisper White cut 1 of smallest framelit circles for inside and next to largest circle framelit for outside. You'll also want a strip for your outside sentiment, so choose sentiment and be sure it will fit. and that it will fit inside the black strip in Step 4
From Basic Black cut 2 pieces 4 x 3.5 for the shutter, a circle using the largest framelit, and a strip 3/4 x 2 1/2 for the front sentiment background.
On a Whisper White scrap stamp 2 balloons in one color (coordinate with your choice of paper) and 1 balloon from another color and punch out with the Balloon Punch.
To assemble: Attach deco paper to front sides of card. Attach deco paper to the Hello Honey piece for inside. Use 3 Dimensionals at top and bottom of inside center piece and carefully attach, centering it.
Score the 2 shutter pieces on one end at 1/2". Locate center of piece and cut from one corner to center and then do the same on the other side, creating a banner. Take your small Whisper White circle and stamp as desired and attach it in the center of the circle opening. Place one shutter piece with the scored end up against the card base score line and thread it under the center piece, checking that it's centered. Run Snail down the scored end and close the card front over it. Do the same on the other side, being sure the 2 pieces are lined up and one is on TOP of the other. Attach that the same way. If the points of one are sticking out, snip them off.
Attach white circle to black circle. Attach your 3 balloons so some are a bit off the circle. Draw strings down from balloons with a black pen. Stamp your sentiment on the white strip and layer that on the black strip and attach to the circles with dimensionals. Close your card and wrap the 1" strip around , overlapping in the front. Attach ends together. Put a large glue dot on the band where the ends overlap - maybe 2 - and attach the circles. Slip band over the card admire your creation!
