Supply List
We R Memory Keepers – Tag Punch Board
Circle Dies
Directions
1. First go through and pick all the Designer Series Paper (DSP) that you will use.
2. Cut two solid color cardstock to 7” x 10”. Score one at 2 ½” and 5” along the ten-inch side then burnish the score. Score the other at 5" and adhere both five inch card backs together interlocked.
3. Along the 2 ½" fold place a circle die on the inner side and trace half of the circle die. Cut along the pencil line that you traced and then erase the pencil mark with the mono eraser. Cut two solid contrast color large circles and two smaller DSP circles. Layer the DSP circles on top of the solid cardstock and adhere together. Then adhere both layered circle cuts to the front and back of the circle you cut on the card fold.
4. Now let’s mat and adhere the inside and outside of the card. Cut two solid cardstock base mats to 6 ¾” x 4 ¾”. Cut two DSP to 6 ½” x 4 ½”. Adhere the smaller DSP to the larger cardstock base mats. Then adhere to the front and back of the card. Cut two solid cardstock base mats to 2 ¼” x 6 ¾”. Cut two DSP to 6 ½” x 2”. Adhere the smaller DSP to the larger cardstock base mat and adhere to the front bottom of the card. The other two will need to be cut to fit the bottom inner front by tracing the half circle onto both the DSP and solid cardstock. Once you trace and cut the traced circle out you can trim the two papers to fit and adhere to the inner bottom card.
5. I selected the mantel and small tags from the paper collection to fussy cut. If you prefer a different design you can pick anyone to place on the front. After cutting the two small tags make small holes at the top of the tag and add twine to each tag. Using the Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage photo add to all the edges with a sponge dabber. This will help soften the cut edges. Place double sided foam tape on the back of the mantle and small tags then adhere to the front of the card. Create a small bow and adhere to the front center top of the circle.
6. For the inside of the card cut a solid white cardstock to 6 ¾” x 4 ¾” and add a sticker strip from the sticker collection on the lower portion. Trim the sticker strip to fit the white cardstock and adhere to the inner card. This will be a great place to write or stamp a festive sentiment.
7. Cut three 3” x 4” cut apart tags. Using the We R Memory Keepers - Corner Chompers and Tag Punch Board trim the corners.
Cut three 3” x 4” solid white cardstock pieces. Stamp these with the sentiments from both stamp sets. Cut three 3 ¼” x 4 ¼” DSP then adhere the trimmed cut apart on one side. Then adhere the stamped white cardstock on the other side. (Note: I used the We R Memory Keepers – Layer Guides for ease and to avoid measuring. This also ensured an exact trim around my tags.) Once the both side of the tag are adhered and trimmed using the Corner Chompers or Tag Punch Board trim the DSP tag edges to match. Punch a small hole on the top of the tag and thread some twine. Form a loop and add a ribbon to each tag.
