Project Recipe
Cut and score paper as follows:
~Mint macaron, 4 1/4" x 11". Score at 1", 2 3/4", 3 3/4", 5 1/2". Turn paper 180 degrees and repeat on opposite end.
~Balmy blue: 2 1/2" x 5 1/4"
~Basic white- 2 pieces each 2 1/4" x 4 1/4", also scrap for stamping various images,
~Printed paper (dsp)- 4 1/16" wide by 3 7/8" high. With shortest edge up, cut 2 lengths that are 1 1/2" x 4 1/16" each and that leaves the third piece 7/8" x 4 1/16".
Stamp floral images onto basic white using Black Tuxedo ink.
Color as desired with blends markers.
~Diecut out images that were colored
~Diecut two tags (I used the largest die from set that has the oval hole) in basic white.
~Stamp one white tag with focal point saying. I used "faith over fear". Adhere this white tag onto the balmy blue piece using strong adhesive of choice. I used seal. Be sure it is towards the top of the piece, equal to the distance the two edges are from the sides.
~Trim off upper corners at the same angle as white tag.
~Adhere the other white tag to the back.
~Use die or small hole punch to punch out the hole on the white tag.
~Adhere the diecut reinforcement hole cover on each side.
~Cut 5" length of ribbon. Fold in half and thread the loop end through the hole on tag. Pull tails through the loop. Lift up and secure into place. Trim ends.
~Adhere dsp paper onto corresponding areas on scored card base. The two 1 1/2" x 4 1/16" pieces go on either side of center score line. The 7/8" x 4 1/16" piece goes on one section next to one of the other pieces just glued on.
~Fold on all score lines and use bone folder to crease all folds.
~ Take card base and open it up. Lay onto a protected surface. Use blue tag to help you determine how wide of a slit you need to put the tag through. Mark with pencil.
~With ruler and blade, cut away the score mark to make a slit that the tag will go through.
Fold base in half. Reopen and fold down the 1" margins on top and bottom. On bottom, place balmy blue tag on center of flap. Glue this down on back of blue tag.
~Fold upper 1" flap down an glue it down onto the other. Be sure the tag is coming down through the center of the middle where the slit is.
~Adhere flowers or other decorations onto top panel and tags as desired.
~ Adhere sequins around.
