Party Puffins Polka Dot Birthday |
P layful birthday card using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Parakeet Party Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Sweet Sorbet Cardstock
- 3" square from Parakeet Party Cardstock
- 3" square from Basic White Cardstock
- 1" x 4" from Parakeet Party Cardstock
Place the Dots & Spots Die cutting side up on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Place the Sweet Sorbet rectangle on top of the die. Run through the machine.
Tip: Because the die is so big, I found it easier to put the die on the platform face up and then put the cardstock on top of it so I could make sure the cardstock was straight and properly position
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the polka dotted Sweet Sorbert rectangle to the front of the Parakeet Party card.
