Blessings Card
Card Front: Fold a 6”x12” white cardstock in half, scoring first if desired, to create a 6”x6” card. Cover the front with Robin’s Red red dot paper. Place the fold of the card just below the top cutting section of the largest “Love Arch” cutting die. Run it through your die cutting machine, cutting through both layers to create a shaped card. Use the largest three cutting dies together to die cut a Robin’s Red teal tapestry paper. Set aside the center die-cut for Step 3. Use the largest and the third largest cutting dies together to die-cut a Robin’s Red ivory flourish paper frame. Glue the teal heart frame die-cut onto the ivory flourishes frame and foam tape to the card front.
Use the small bird cutting die to die cut two birds from Robin’s Red gray flourishes paper, making sure to flip your paper over the second time to get a bird facing the opposite way. Mat both birds on teal cardstock with 1/16” borders. Use the cutting die to trace the tail marks and bird outlines with a black pen. Use a pencil to mark the spots for the Red Jewel and Heart Dazzles™ and place the Dazzles™ on the birds as shown. Foam tape the birds to the bottom of the frame, facing each other and centered. Assemble the Papier Tole heart with foam tape, making sure to cut off the ribbon. Glue centered to the top of the frame. Use the small heart cutting die to cut a Robin’s Red ivory flourishes paper. Mat on Robin’s Red red flourishes paper with 1/16” borders. Use a pencil to mark the places for the Red Jewel Dazzles™ and place as before. Glue just above the birds. Place the “Blessings” Dazzles™ on a 1½”x1/2” Robin’s Red tan/beige print paper and round the corners. Foam tape just above the heart.
Card Inside: Glue the inner teal die-cut from Step 1 centered, 1/8” from the right edge. Assemble the Papier Tole heart balloons/banner with foam tape. Glue to the left side of the card as shown. Foam tape an extra Papier Tole heart to the top right corner of the teal paper. Place the “Congratulations” and Red Jewel Dazzles™ as shown.
