Cut cardstock, designer paper, and foil sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Whisper White Thick Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Basic Black Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" of white We Three Kings sheet music design from Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper
- 2" x 5" of black Cantique de Noel sheet music design from Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper
- 1-3/4" x 3-1/4" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1-3/4" x 2-1/4" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1-1/4" x 2-1/2" from Silver Foil Sheets
- 1-1/4" x 5" from Whisper White Cardstock
Unlock the Banner Triple Punch. Slide the strip of black sheet music designer paper into the punch as far as it will go. Punch. Make sure you are punching the bottom of the strip so your sheet music isn't upside down.
Cut a 3" piece of Silver 1/8" Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the top of the punched banner. Flip the banner over and fold the ends of the ribbon over. Adhere the ends of the ribbon in place with pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strips and add more SNAIL to the back of the punched banner. Adhere the banner to the middle of the white sheet music piece of designer paper so the top of the banner is even with the top of the designer paper rectangle. If needed, trim excess paper from the punched banner top.
Adhere the designer paper rectangle to the Basic Black rectangle and then to the front of the Whisper White Thick card.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of Silver 1/8" Ribbon. Slide one end under the left side of the ribbon on the card front. Tie in place with a half knot. Trim the ends.
Mount the lute image on Block H. Ink it up with the Basic Black Archival Ink Pad and stamp in the center of the 1-3/4" x 3-3/4" white rectangle.
Pick out the matching lute framelit from the Musical Instruments Framelits. Place the stamped lute image on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the lute framelit on top so it is centered over the image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Mount the lyre image on Block B. Ink it up with the Basic Black Archival Ink Pad and stamp in the center of the 1-3/4" x 2-3/4" white rectangle.
Pick out the matching lyre framelit from the Musical Instruments Framelits. Place the stamped lyre image on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the lyre framelit on top so it is centered over the image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Pick out the treble clef framelit from the Musical Instruments Framelits. Place the Silver Foil Sheets rectangle on the Precision Base Plate on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the treble clef framelit on top. Place a Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot a couple of times. Use the Die Brush to remove the pieces.
Mount the "Peace Joy Love" sentiment on Block H. Ink it up only the words with the brush tip of the Basic Black Marker. Stamp it in the center of the white strip.
Pick out the long banner framelit from the Cupcake Cutouts Framelits. Place the stamped sentiment on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the long banner framelit on top so it is centered over the sentiment. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Fold the banner on the double score lines on either side.
Put three Stampin' Dimensionals across the center of the back of the banner. Peel off the protective backings and place another Dimensional on top of each Dimensional already in place so that you have three double thick Dimensionals across the back of the banner.
Peel off the protective backings and adhere the banner to the center of the card front near the bottom of the designer paper banner.
Adhere the lute image to the card front just above the sentiment banner at a slight angle so the top of the lute goes off the right side of the designer paper banner.
Adhere the lyre image to the card front just above the sentiment banner at a slight angle so the lyre overlaps the lute on the left side.
Use Mini Glue Dots to adhere the treble clef cut out to the front of the card so it is at a slight angle overlapping and between the lute and lyre images.
