PROJECT TUTORIAL:

Begin by burnishing the fold of the Basic White Thick card base with a Bone Folder.

Layer and adhere the Designer Series Paper to the Calypso Coral layer together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Loop silver Simply Elegant Trim twice on each side, then adhere as shown with one or two Mini Glue Dots.

Wrap the layer with Lemon Lolly 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon, securing with a bow.

Adhere to the Vellum layer as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment (Phrases for All Stamp Set) in Calypso Coral Ink onto the Basic White layer. TIP: I used the Mini MISTI stamp positioning tool for clean and crisp ink coverage. Watch my latest 1 Minute to WOW! Video: The Magic of the Mini MISTI

Adhere to the Vellum as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Adhere the Vellum layer to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. TIP: Adhere the sentiment and square with dimensionals to the vellum first. Then, you’ll know where to place (and hide) dimensionals below the vellum.

POP OF PERSONALITY! Embellish with three Lemon Lolly Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems as shown.

PERFECT POLISH! Adhere the 5 3/4 x 2 1/4 A Little Latte Designer Series Paper to the Basic White Medium envelope flap with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. IMPORTANT: Add glue to the flap first, not the Designer Series Paper. Center and line up the Basic Borders curved edge die, tape to secure (Post-It Tape) and crop with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard). Watch my Stampin’ Pretty WOW Video here.
