New Year’s Card and Popper

It’s Tutorial Thursday! Today I want to share with you how to create a New Year’s Card using the Brilliant Rainbow Dies as well as a popper.

For the New Year’s Card here are the instructions:

• Take a sheet of Thick Basic White Card Stock and cut with Paper Trimmer to 4 ¼” X 11”. On the 11” side score at 5 ½”. This is your card base.
• Take a sheet of Ever Eden 12X12 Specialty Designer Series Paper and cut with Paper Trimmer to 4” X 5 ¼”. Attach with Stampin’ Seal to card base. This is your outer mat.
• Take a sheet of Gold Foil as well as Basic White Card Stock and cut to 3 ¾” X 5” each. The Gold Foil is then cut with the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Brilliant Rainbow Dies. Tip: For extra texture emboss with a folder as well. On the video the Hive 3D Embossing Folder was used. The Gingham Embossing Folder was an option but not used. Sponge a coordinating ink to the white with the Blending Brush. Then glue all down.
• Take a piece of scratch Ever Eden Designer Series Paper and place an Adhesive Sheet to the back of it. Run through the Machine with the Word Wishes Dies. Peel and stick.

For the popper here are the instructions:

• Take a sheet of the Ever Eden 12X12 Specialty Designer Series Paper and cut with the Paper Trimmer to 8” X 8 ½”. On the 8 ½” side score at 2”, 4”, 6”, and 8”. On the 8” side score at 2” and 6”.
• Fold ends down and trim with Snips about one third of the way down. Tip: Make sure to leave a little bit of a flat edge at the top of the triangle.
• Take tabs and place Tear & Tape Adhesive on them and then attach to form the popper.
• Tie with ribbon of choice to secure ends.
