Instructions
- Score and fold the three card bases. Burnish the folds with the bone folder.
- Stack the two pieces of DSP and the SDSP, lining them up carefully. Cut from some place along the top of the rectangle to some place along the right side.
- Now cut from the diagonal just created down to near the bottom on the left side. See photo again. You now have three pieces of each pattern.
- Lay the pieces out so that a piece of each design is with the other pieces.
- Adhere these down to the card bases with Multipurpose Liquid Glue so you can briefly move them into place. See finished card samples.
- Die-cut three circles from the Blueberry Bushel CS with the fourth largest Deckled Circles die.
- Stamp the greeting three times spaced out on the strip of Basic White CS with Blueberry Bushel ink. Die-cut out with the third from the smallest die.
- Adhere these circles to the Blueberry Bushel circles and then mount to your card fronts with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Use the Take Your Pick tool to apply three Iridescent Rhinestones to each of the Basic White labels.
- Stamp a message on the 5 ¼” X 4” pieces of Basic White CS if desired and adhere to inside of card.
