Instructions:

The following are the step-by-step instructions and a few tips about this card “Love & Joy”.
  • Create an interesting and colorful background: blend soft pink and yellow with any dye ink. Start from the folded area (top) to avoid smudges.
  • Stamp a text background by using only part of the cling stamp.
  • Die-cut and adhere the Mistletoe Gatefold die.
  • Create a sentiment with a touch of glitter:
    •     add a strip of glitter washi tape of pattern paper onto the colored card stock;
    •     position the “Love & Joy” dies (from Love & Cookies set) over the washi tape;
    •     follow the instructions of your machine and make the die cut.
  • Assemble and embellish with sequins
