Card recipe:
1. Cut, score and burnish your card base piece.
2.Cut all of your whisper white pieces and emboss them using the embossing folder.
3. Die cut all of your circles and your snowflakes. You need 2 x Pool Party large circles, 2 x smaller sized whisper white and then 1 x whisper white the same size as the Pool Party circles (this one is going to be glued ont the reverse of your front snowflake topper to cover up the apperture left when you die cut a snowflake out of the silver foil circle). Die cut 2 x silver foil large scallop circles, and then from the centre of them die cut your 2 x snowflakes (emboss the larger Pool Party snowflakes).
4. Stamp your sentiment onto one of the smaller whisper white circles (I used the stampin' write markers so that I had a mix of colours). Now glue your 3 different colour circles together (Silver scallop at the bottom, Pool Party next and the whisper white flat for the sentiment and on dimensionals for the snowflake topper), being careful with the glue through the apperture left on the silver pieces where you've cut out your snowflakes previously.
5. Glue all of your snowflakes together and then glue into place on your topper, tie a ribbon and glue this into place using a mini glue dot.
6. Stamp your sentiment onto your strip of card and cut the sides at angles, glue flat onto your Pool party piece of card and then cut around the edges leaving a small border all the way around the edges. Leave everything aside to dry and now onto the folded centre piece.
7. Score from each end of your DSP @ 2 3/4". Now mark the centre of your DSP which is 5 1/2" and carefully fold each corner one at a time in to meet the mark at the centre, burnish it making it nice and crisp and then opening it up to move onto the next corner. Fold the score lines that you made previously the opposite way and your DSP should look like below.
8. Glue your DSP into place inside your base card, match one end up and glue then glue the centre and the otherside should find its place nicely when card closed if you've matched it all up correctly.
9. The 2 x squares that measure 3 5/8" x 3 5/8" need to be cut in half corner to corner and then in half again as seen below.
10. Glue these pieces all into place in the areas inside your card that have nothing on them.
11. Glue your sentiment circle piece into the centre of the inner card.
12. Glue your 2 front panels into place and then your 2 border embossed strips.
13. The strip you have for your outer wrap place the scored edge up to one of the closed edges of your card and then not too tightly wrap it around the otherside and glue together in the middle overlap. The 2 DSP pieces you have can be glued into place (I glue 1 on, wrapping the edges round and then glue the other piece so that it hides the bits you've wrapped over and you just cut this piece up to the edges making a neat job of it.
14. Put your wrap over your card having the bit where the edges met at the front and then glue your snowflake topper on top adding your sentiment into place using small pieces of dimensionals.
Card finished hope you enjoyed putting it together you can use any card and papers to do this making it fit for any occasion.
Stay safe everyone till next time
