This is a quick and easy card using Glassine paper for the background, a doily for the next layer, and a punched bow for the focal point. Â You can substitute any paper for the Glassine sheet, a die cut for the Doily, and a tied ribbon bow for the punched bow. Â You can also add a stamped greeting if desired.
SUPPLIES:
Card Stock: Â Night of Navy
Marina Mist
Sending Love Glassine Sheets #142734Â (or use Vellum)
Lace Doilies #142793Â Choose either the White or Vanilla side
Punch: Â Bow Builder #137414

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Â Cut your Night of Navy card base at 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. Â Score and fold at 4-1/4″.
2. Â Cut your Sending Love Glassine Sheet at 3-1/2″ x 6″. Â The Glassine Sheet is 6″ wide. Â You can also use Vellum or patterned paper instead of the Glassine Sheet.
3. Â Angle your Glassine Sheet so it touches both the top right corner and the bottom left corner. Â Make marks slightly past the edges on both sides so you know where to apply your adhesive. Â You can use Glue Dots, but they show through the corners.
~Since I made this I have learned a new way to attach Glassine and Vellum without the adhesive showing through.
~Cut a Sponge wedge
~Put about a 3/4″ circle of Tombow Glue on your Silicone Craft Sheet. Â Pounce your Sponge wedge to cover the rounded part with Tombow Glue.
~Now Pounce your gluey Sponge Wedge evenly on the back of your Glassine Sheet or Vellum.
~Attach your Glassine Sheet to your card front, being careful to not glue it to the surface underneath.
~ Spread your Bone Folder over the top to flatten.
~Attach your Lace Doily using the gluey Sponge Wedge.
~Turn card over so the card front is facing down. Â Let dry while you make your Bow.
4. Â Punch your Marina Mist card stock twice with the Bow Builder Punch as you need two of most parts.
~Use your Bone Folder to curl the longer Bow pieces and one of the smallest rectangle pieces. Â The Bow ends do not need to be curled.
~Attach the ends of one long Bow piece together with a Glue Dot. Â Now attach the ends of the other Bow piece together with a Glue Dot. Â Attach the end of the two long Bow pieces together with a Glue Dot with one on the right side and one on the left side.
~Attach one Bow end to the bottom of each Long Bow piece with 2 Glue Dots so the Bow ends stick out evenly at the ends of the Long Bow pieces.
~Now attach the curled rectangle piece around the center of the Bow using a Glue Dot at each end and having the ends meet at the back of the Bow.
5. Â Attach the Bow to your card front with 3 Glue Dots. Â Your card is finished.
Enjoy making this easy Bow Card.
