To Make This Card

  • Fold Bermuda Bay card in half, then fold front back on itself, creating a "Z". Crease well. Attach Ombre DSP to inside and front flap.
  • Score Red strip  at 2 5/8" and 5 1/2". Crease, creating a "Z". Attach DSP to longer part of "Z". Line up cut edge of back "Z" to DSP.  Attach with strong adhesive.  Lay "Z" flat and attach to front flap with strong adhesive.  This will be only about 3/8" of the remaining front "Z".
  • Add a little Balmy Blue "sky" to White "square" with Blending Brush.
  • Cut "postage square" from Blushing Bride.  Attach White "square" to this.  Remember this is not a true "square".
  • Stamp "flirty snail" in Memento Black.  Color as shown with Blends, then cut out with corresponding die.
  • Cut out larger "Mushroom" in Real Red.  Place a scrap of White behind and trim around.
  • Create "grass" by fussy cutting "blades of grass" with Paper Snips in Granny Apple Green scrap. Attach to White square.
  • Add "Snail" to square with Dimensionals.  Then, add "mushroom". Attach to center of card over Real Red.
  • Stamp "conversation bubble" in Bermuda Bay, add sentiment.  Cut out with corresponding die. Attach as shown.
  • Attach White Rectangle to inside Real Red "Z" fold.  Add sentiment in Black.
  • Finish with Blushing Bride twine wrapped around Red "Z" and tied in a bow, and a Resin Heart.
