INSTRUCTIONS:
1-Cut Your Papers:
~Real Red Card Base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. Score and fold at 4-1/4″.
~Petal Pink Card Layer: 4″ x 5-1/4″.
~Vellum: 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″
~Real Red Label: 3/4″ x 2-1/2″
2-Petal Pink Card Layer:
~Ink up both inside parts of your Gingham Embossing Folder. I got the best results by tapping the ink pad instead of dragging it.
~Place your Petal Pink Card Layer inside your inked Embossing Folder. Run through your Machine.
3-Vellum + Hearts Layer:
~Make your smooth Heart by shoving the Vellum back into your punch as far as you can and center it on the sides. Punch.
~Sponge around the Vellum outside edges and Heart edges with Real Red ink.
~Use the Scallop Heart Punch to punch out some patterned DSP in the pattern you want.
~Put a thin line or small dots of Tombow Glue on the top Scallop edges of your DSP Heart. Attach to the back of your Vellum layer behind the Heart cut out.
4-Word Label:
~Make your Word Label by punching one end of your Real Red Label with the Banner Pick a Punch. OR cut the notch out yourself.
~Stamp your Words with Real Red ink on Basic White cardstock.
~Cut out with the small Label Die from the Bundle. You might want to use a Post-It Note or two to hold the die in place while you cut it out.
~Use the Stampin’ Dimensionals at the thin edge and cut off a strip of 2-1/2 Stampin’ Dimensionals. Attach them to the bottom of your die cut Words. Add to your Real Red Label.
5-Finish Your Card:
~Lay out your pieces to help you decide where to put your Ribbon.
~Place a strip of Tear & Tape across your Petal Pink Layer where you want your Ribbon.
~Wrap your Ribbon around your card with the pieces meeting in the center of your Petal Pink Layer. I leave about 6″ at each end to tie my bow. Tie your Bow and trim the ribbon edges. Glue this layer to your Card Base.
~Put Stampin’ Dimensionals behind your Scallop Heart and attach your Vellum Layer to your card Front.
~Add your Real Red Word Label with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
~If desired, put a Glue Dot next to the bow on the bottom bow layer to keep your Bow in place.
~Add some Rhinestones where you want.
Your For My Husband Valentine’s Card is finished.
