STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:

Layer and adhere a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper to a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 piece of Copper Foil with Snail Adhesive.  TIP: Remove the center of the Copper Foil with the largest Stitched Rectangle Die to get the most of your Copper Foil Sheets.

Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

POP OF PERSONALITY:  Add three Night of Navy Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels as shown. 

Tie a bow of 1/4″ Copper Trim.  Adhere with a Mini Glue Dot. 

For the perfect polish – Use an envelope liner die (Beautiful Layers Dies), a die-cutting and embossing machine, and the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper to create an envelope liner.  Adhere to the inside of a Stampin’ Up! Whisper White Medium Envelope with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
 
TIP: To avoid embossing and plate marks, I dedicate a relatively clean bottom cutting plate for envelope liners.  Flip the pattern over and cut on the opposite side.  You can use a bone folder to help soften any lines.
