Directions for Elegant Red Card
1. Ink up Fancy Fan Letterpress with Versamark. Put on Big Shot Multipurpose Platform with no tabs under it. Carefully place 4-1/4”x5-1/2” piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock on the Letterpress lining it up so it will be straight. Place a half sheet of printer paper on top of the whole thing so you don’t get VersaMark ink all over your top acrylic cutting pad. Lay your newest looking acrylic cutting pad on top and run it through your Big Shot.
2. Run the 2: 1”x5” pieces of Real Red through the Big Shot using the Tasteful Trim die and the Large Scallop Border.
3. Place the 2-3/4”x4-3/4” pice of Poppy Parade into the Oval Designer Frames Embossing Folder making sure to line it up so you are happy with the placement. You will have both tabs open on your Multipurpose Platform.
4. Run the Poppy Parade scrap through your Big Shot with the Flower Garden Embossing Folder. Place the Wide Oval punch over the section of the flower you want to show up in the Oval Designer Frame. Use Dimensionals to attach this piece inside the Oval Designer Frame.
5. Cut the Scallop Dots Ribbon to the following sizes: 1 at 3-1/2”, 2 at 2-3/4”. Put some Snail along the back of the Poppy Parade embossed piece and place the 3-1/2” piece with the ends being adhered by the Snail.
6. Stamp “Hello” from the Tiny Tags stamp set onto the Whisper White Scrap. Punch out with the Jewelry Tag punch. Put a hole in the center of the circle portion of the tag using your piercing tool and Mat Pack. Thread the Baker’s Twine through the hole, not cutting it off the spool yet. Tie it tightly around the center of all three pieces of ribbon. (I ended up tying it twice to get the ribbon to “gather” a little.) Tie in a knot, then in a bow. Trim ends of Baker’s Twine. Position top two ribbon pieces (using glue dots if necessary to keep them in place). Use a glue dot to position white “Hello” tag.
7. Trim the Tasteful Trim Scallop Borders to fit along the sides of the embossed Poppy Parade piece. Adhere with Snail to both sides making them even. Adhere this piece to the Cherry Cobbler piece using either Dimensionals or Snail making sure to leave room for stamping or embossing a sentiment at the bottom if you want to. Add Pearls.
8. If embossing a sentiment let VersaMark dry overnight. Or stamp with White ink and let dry.
9. Admire your creation!
