Helpful Hints
To create two of each of the featured cards, follow the helpful hints outlined below and the assembly instructions found in our how-to book Wishes™. If you did not attend the workshop and do not have the featured stamp set, use an alternate stamp set or talk with your Consultant about how to purchase this exclusive stamp set. Your Consultant can offer you additional help with this and other great projects and show you our full line of high-quality scrapbooking and cardmaking products.
- Cut the papers according to the paper dimensions on page 78 of Wishes™. Cut the following accent pieces: two 1 1/4" × 2 1/2" Barn Red cardstock pieces and two 4" × 3" large floral B&T Duos® papers (back side). (Note: The accent pieces are used for stamping.)
- Using the sponging technique, apply Cocoa ink to the edges of the papers, excluding the accent pieces.
- Using Cocoa ink, stamp the heart twice on each of the Barn Red accent pieces. Stamp the two flourishes, forming a heart, on the B&T paper accent pieces (see card 3). Trim the images.
- Using Cocoa ink, stamp the small flourish along the bottom of piece B as shown on card 1. Stamp the small flourish, part of the large flourish, and the heart on the center of piece B as shown on card 2.
- Using the piercing tool, create a dotted border around piece A as shown on card 1.
- Assemble the cards according to the instructions on page 78. Attach the cut-out accent pieces.
- Using the piercing tool, create 5 dots below the curved bottom of the large Honey accent flourish on card 3.
- Using the piercing tool, create 14 holes in a vertical pattern to the right of piece B on card 1. Thread Waxy Flax through the holes.
- Attach the Edge Anchors and buttons, as desired. Thread the buttons with Waxy Flax.
