Ink: Black included in the Kit
Crushed Curry
Pool Party Marker
Other: Dimensionals (some are included in the Kit)
STRIPED CARD INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Stamp the desired sentiment above the punched YOU.
2. Using 40″ of embroidery thread from the Kit, backstitch the letters as directed in the Kit instructions. This goes very quickly. You will need 40″ of thread to complete all three letters and have some left to tie a knot at the end. Place Dimensionals on the back of your embroidered piece.
3. Place the stamped and embroidered card stock where desired on one of the card fronts.
4. Add an epoxy sticker from the Kit. You have now finished the Kit instructions. But I thought it needed something more. So on to step 5.
5. Stamp the Big Day stamp with Crushed Curry ink on Whisper White card stock. Cut around the edges with scissors or your Paper Trimmer. I also edged this piece with a Crushed Curry Marker. Color in the Cake with your Pool Party Marker. Attach with Dimensionals.
