5. Cut your ornament Framelit from Gold Glimmer Paper.
6. Cut your patterned Ornament from Red Foil Paper. Use the following sandwich:
~Bottom: Magnetic OR Multi-purpose Platform.
~Precision Plate OR Flat cutting plate
~Red Foil Paper
~Thinlit
~Folded Printer Paper to prevent marks from your cutting plate transferring to your Foil Paper,
~Top Flat cutting plate. You need Flat cutting plates so the Thinlit cuts all the detailed cuts out well.
Use your Bone Folder or the NEW (January 2016) Big Shot Die Brush to remove all the small pieces. (Use both the Bone Folder and the Die Brush on the BACK of the Foil Paper so you don’t leave marks!!)
7. Glue the Ornament pieces together using either Tombow Glue OR the Fine-Tipped Glue Pen.
8. Lay out the Ornament and the greeting on the patterned paper layers. Attach in place with Dimensionals.
~Put Fast Fuse OR two Glue Dots on the top of the Ornament. Attach your Gold Satin Ribbon to the Ornament and then attach the other end of the Ribbon to the back of the Patterned Papers with Fast Fuse.
~Attach the Patterned Papers to the card base with Fast Fuse.
~Tie a Gold Satin Ribbon bow and attach it to the top of the Ornament with several Glue Dots.
