For stamping small snowflakes onto the snowflake apperture piece

Card recipe:

1. Cut, score and burnish (where necessary) all of your pieces of cardstock and dsp.

This is how your card base will look when you've folded and burnished it, this is whats know as an easel card.

2. Now glue the piece of whisper white cardstock that measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" to the card base.

3. Glue your 2 - 5 3/8" x 5 3/8" dsp pieces to the whisper white cardstock pieces (the reason I like to do this is because you give your dsp depth without using dimensionals) that measure the same and then glue them both to the front of the easel and the base (first wrap your ribbon piece to the base piece).

4. Die cut the large snowflake apperture out of your whisper white piece ( find the centre edge of your card  and then measure in 1" from both opposite ends).

5. Now using pool party ink, stamp small snowflakes around the edges of this card piece, then wrap ribbon round 2 corners as in picture and tie extra piece only on the bottom one. The top corner you will need to tie a double bow and then tie this on to the other corner using another extra piece of ribbon.

6. Attach this piece onto the front of the card using dimensionals (make sure you have one in the middle of your snowflake so it doesn't sink).

7. Die cut all of your snowflakes, embossing the pool party one and curl them a bit using a bone folder, glue them together where necessary and attach to the card front. The main large snowflake is attached using just 1 dimensional all the small ones are attached flat with wet glue.

8. Stamp your 2 x sentiments , glue the dsp piece to the whisper white piece ( this is for matting your friendship sentiment onto), cut them all at an angle. Place dimensionals onto the back of the friendship piece and attach it to the dsp/card piece.

9. Glue flat the base sentiment, use 1 x dimensional to glue the front sentiment into place.

10. Attach your gems and your card is finished.

Hope you enjoyed todays card,  it's a fun card fold to make so give it a go youself.
