Trimmer Directions:
Step
1:
Trim
the Recollections card stock down to 4.25” x 5.5” and the Bristol down to 4” x
5.25” This is your card base, and the top layer.
Step
2:
With
the VersaFine, Mini MISTI, and the adorable dog and girl stamp from Soul Mutts,
stamp one in a corner of a left over piece of Bristol from trimming your card
mat from. Heat set this with the
embossing gun. Or you can let it dry for
a few minutes.
Step 3:
With
the Yellow Zig Marker, go around the edges of the dog and the bow on the girl’s
dress. Use the water brush to water
color the image. Follow the same steps
for the rest of the image. Heat set the
image after each color you add and make sure it’s all the way dry before you
add anymore color. Once dry, use the
scissors and trim out the image and set aside.
Step
4:
With
the Whimsy Stamps Card Builders Window Die and the Cuttlebug or other machine,
make a window in the Bristol white and the Recollections card base. Use some washi tape to hold the die in place
while running through the Cuttlebug.
Step
5:
Using
the Picked Raspberry Distress Ink, stamp some corner designs in two of the
corners of the white layer of your card.
Pick which ones you like that you feel go with your image. Also stamp the sentiment with the distress
ink. Using the MISTI helps get everything
in line and makes stamping really easy.
Step
6:
Use
the Card Builder Window die that you like and will fit your sentiment, use the
Cuttlebug and cut it out. Also fussy cut
a shadow around the sentiment with the Recollections paper. Tie a small twine
bow for the top of your sentiment and attach with a Glue Dots® Micro Dot.
Step
7:
With
the Glue Dots® Permanent Tape runner, begin attaching all of your elements to
the card front, being sure to line up the Bristol to you the window on the
Recollections card base.
This
card is so sweet and lends itself to really any occasion whether it’s a new
puppy, or when someone needs a pick-me-up.
