Project Recipe
Inside Card
Cutting & Scoring
Calypso Coral Card Stock – 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″, scrap for sentiment backing
Pear Pizzaz Card Stock – 3 1/2″ x 4 1/2″
Basic White – 4″ x 5″ (cover), 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ (inside), scrap for sentiment backing
Flowering Cactus Designer Paper (DSP) – 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″, then cut center out with Stitched So Sweetly rectangle die measuring ~ 3″ x 4″
Twine – enough to wrap 3 to 4 times around white front card
Assembly
Stamp sentiment on white card stock with calypso coral ink. Punch out the sentiment with the Label Me Lovely Punch, putting the sentiment further towards the top of the punch. Carefully insert the punched piece back into the punch and punch out the bottom to make the sentiment centered in the cut out. This will allow us to use the same punch for the backing, with the top and bottom showing. Punch out the calypso coral card stock with this same punch. Adhere the white card stock (with the sentiment) cutout to the calypso coral cutout.
Center the pear pizzaz cardstock on the white cardstock and adhere. Then add the DSP that was cut using the Stitched So Sweetly rectangle and adhere. Wrap the twine around this 3 or 4 times, attaching the twine at the back. Attach this set to the card front. Add the sentiment to the center using dimensionals.
Stamp the inside sentiment on the other piece of white cardstock. Attach the DSP with the rectangle punched out of it, centered inside of the card. Attach the stamped sentiment card on top of it.
