*** When
cutting DSP, try to cut one 3-3/4” x 2-1/2” piece the same design as top
portion of 5-1/4” x 4” DSP.
This way
when you close the card, it appears to be the same picture.
The second piece of 3-3/4” x 2-1/2” DSP should
be cut sideways from the first piece, since it will be perpendicular to the
first piece.
Assembly
1.
Score 11” x 4-1/4” Soft Suede card stock at
2-3/4” and 5-1/2”.
Fold to the back on 2-3/4”
score line; fold to the front on 5-1/2” score line, creating a “Z” shape card.
2.
On inside (5-1/2” x 4”) panel, adhere
Night of Navy card stock; adhere DSP over card stock.
3.
Cut white card stock with 2-3/8” x 1-1/16” Stitched
Rectangle. Stamp sentiment with Night of
Navy ink; stamp dots with Copper Ink.
Adhere to 2-1/5” x 1-3/16” Night of Navy card stock. Fold top panels half-way down and use as a
guide to adhere sentiment to DSP with Foam Tape or Stampin’ Dimensionals.
4.
Adhere 4” x 2-1/2” Night of Navy card stock to
top panel; adhere 3-3/4” x 2-1/4” DSP over card stock. This piece should match top part of inside
DSP. See *** above.
5.
Adhere 4” x 2-1/2” Night of Navy card stock to
center panel.
6.
Adhere second piece of DSP to last piece of 4” x
2-1/2” piece of Night of Navy card stock.
This piece should be cut perpendicular to the first piece in Step
4. See *** above. Apply Foam Tape or Stampin’ Dimensionals to back
(top half only) of this piece. Fold top
portion half-way down and carefully line up to cover sentiment. Remove backing from foam and adhere to top
panel.
7.
Use Liquid Glue to adhere bouquet pieces to the
piece created in Step 6. For the sample,
I applied a thin line of liquid glue to just the stem of the vellum pieces and
adhere them first. Second, I applied a
few tiny drops of liquid glue to the twigs and adhered them over the vellum
pieces. Third, I applied dots of Liquid
Glue to the berries on the copper element and adhered it on top of the other
pieces.
8.
Hold the Linen Thread and Copper Metallic Thread
together and make a loopy bow. Adhere
over the bouquet with a Glue Dot behind the knot.
Confusing?
Hopefully, the photos will make a little clearer.
This would make a great Thanksgiving card!
It can be stood up as shown in the photo as a
reminder of how much you care!
Hope you have
enjoyed these cards!
I always have way
more fun than I should creating and assembling these cards!
