INSTRUCTIONS
- Fold the Melon Mambo CS in half and crease it using a Bone Folder. The fold should be along the top.
- Adhere the Granny Apple Green CS to the Melon Mambo card base using Stampin’ Seal +.
- Cut the Basic White CS. Apply the “Cheers To You And The New Year” sentiment from the Throughout The Year stamp set, onto the Clear Block D. Ink it up using Melon Mambo ink and stamp it onto the Basic White CS.
- Cut a piece of Melon Mambo CS to measure 2” x 5”. Apply a 2” x 5” piece of Adhesive Sheet to the back of it. Run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine OR Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Adhesive Sheet side down and the Streamer Die from the Merry & Bright Dies on top. Position the Streamer Die to one side of the Melon Mambo CS. Remove the streamer pieces and reposition the die to the other side. Run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine OR Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine again. You should end up with 4 Melon Mambo streamers.
- Cut a piece of Granny Apple Green CS to measure 2” x 5”. Apply a 2” x 5” piece of Adhesive Sheet to the back of it. Run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine OR Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Adhesive Sheet side down and the Streamer Die from the Merry & Bright Dies on top. Position the Streamer Die to one side of the Granny Apple Green CS. Remove the streamer pieces and reposition the die to the other side. Run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine OR Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine again. You should end up with 4 Granny Apple Green streamers.
- Lay the different streamers on the Basic White CS. Arrange them how you want them. They are going to be longer and will over hang the Basic White CS. Take each one and peel off the backing, just enough to expose the adhesive and adhere it in place. Repeat this for all of the streamers. Flip the Basic White CS over and trim off the overhanging ends using the Paper Snips. I used some of these ends to add to the Basic White CS. Adhere it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimenionals
- Let’s add a bit of bling to finish this card off. Using the Take Your Pick Tool, pick up the 4 Basic White and 4 Granny Apple Green Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs and adhere them to the card front.
- If you wish to, decorate the envelope and the inside.
