I can’t tell you how much money I have spent on tools to make layering my cards easier. I’m one of those people that can’t draw or cut a straight with a ruler, lol! And now I don’t have to worry about it anymore. You will definitely want this T-Square Ruler from Pear Blossom Press in your craft room! Crafty hugs, Lisa~
Steps For The Blue Card
Steps One, Two, Three:
Cut the papers as follows- Tan cardstock (base card) 8 1/2″W x 5 1/2″H with the fold on the left. Floral patterned paper 4 1/4″W x 5 1/2″H, striped patterned paper 3 1/2″W x 4 3/4″H, and the Blue cardstock 4 1/8″W x 5 3/8″H. Cut another piece of Tan cardstock 1″W x 6″H for the border die.
Die cut the papers as shown in photo #2.
Adhere the floral patterned paper to the card base. Turn the T-Square over and slide the card into the 3/8″ slot. Adhere the striped paper to the card base.
Steps Four, Five, Six:
Open the card and place the die in the center. Run the card through the Big Shot, leaving it open.
Use the “0” measurement on the T-Square to find the center, and mark it with a pencil.
Adhere the border die cut to the Tan cardstock. Make a fold at the bottom 1/2″ and adhere it to back of the paper, then adhere the Blue paper to the inside of card. Close the card base and pull the border die cut through the opening.
To finish, stamp the sentiment on the Tan cardstock with the black inkpad and layer it with the Green dotted paper. Align the sentiment with the opening on the front of the card and adhere it to border die cut, being careful to glue it to the border die cut only. Adhere the enamel dots to the front of the card.
