Project Recipe
Measurements
5 ½” x 8 ½” Rich Razzleberry Cardstock (CS) (scored at 4 ¼”)
5 ¼” x 4” Dainty Flowers DSP
5 ¼” x 4” White CS
3 ½” x 4” White CS
3” x 3 ¾” White CS
3 ½” x 4” Rose Gold Foil
3” x 3 ¾” Acetate Window Sheets
3” x 3 ¾” Foam Sheet
Cut and Score all pieces. Burnish well on score lines.
Stamp the decoration and/or sentiments onto the white CS before mounting inside the card base.
Mount the DSP to the front of the card base.
Using the dies shown in the photo, cut:
* Larger die on rose gold foil.
* Larger die on white CS. You will use the inside oval for the sentiment.
* Smaller oval die on both the white CS as well as the foam sheet.
Add acetate to the back of the white CS oval and trim off excess.
Adhere the foam oval to the other side of the acetate. The acetate will now be between the CS and the foam.
* Stamp the sentiment onto the large oval and adhere to the front of the card.
* Apply the Rose Gold frame around the white oval.
Now for the fun part!
* Add the shaker pieces. Keep in mind that moderation is key. Too many pieces and the card will not shake properly.
* Peel the backing off the foam sheet and place over the sequins/gems.
* At this point you are welcome to decorate as desired.
Please keep in mind when mailing a thicker card like this, place the front of the card facing the back of the envelope and add a piece of protective cardstock.
You should also weigh this card as it may require additional postage to get it where you want it to go.
