CARD #1
- Start out by cutting down a piece of cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼. This is your card insert.
- Add adhesive to the back of your Victorian Corner dies (cut 2) and apply to the corners of the insert.
- Attach the insert to the right inside panel of the Craft Perfect card blank - using ¼ scrappy tape.

- Attach the larger of the two to the front of the card panel.
- Add 3D foam dots to the back of the second die and lay on top of the previous die cut.
- Cut (1) of the label die (center piece) in the 5x7 Elegant Labels Four die set and apply ribbon to the sliders and secure to the back to hide ends.
- Add 3D foam dots to the back of the label and hot glue to secure to the front panel. Lay on top of the previous die.
- Stamp the “hello” sentiment from Floating Wishes stamp set (Avery Elle) on to a piece of cardstock using Gina K Designs Ink (jet black).
- Wipe /tape off the ink from the ends of the sentiment so that it fits nicely on the label. Fish tail – if desired.
- Add ¼” scrappy tape to secure on to the last label.
- Add Nuvo Crystal Drops in white around the perimeter of the card – as desired.
CARD #2
- Using your rectangle nesting die, position the rectangles so that it creates a nice even frame. Use washi tape to secure to get exact duplicates.
- Cut 6 times (depending on thickness of paper) you want to create a little ‘well’ to hold the sequence/shaker mix.
- Set (1) negative rectangle and (1) frame aside for later.
- Using wet glue, adhere (5) of frames together – on top of each other.
- Cut (1) of the Fancy Lattice die in desired paper.
- Apply spray adhesive (works best and easiest) to the back of the lattice cut and lay on top of lawn Fawn acetate.
- Grab the last remaining frame, apply wet glue to the back and lay on top (center) of the lattice and acetate combo.
- Cut off excess using a trimmer for a clean and even cut.
- Grab your card base (Craft Perfect) – cut it down if needed so that it creates a ¼ border around the perimeter of the card.
- Cut a piece of cardstock down to make an insert – depending on the size of your card.
- Stamp your sentiment using the Avery Elle stamp set and Gina K Designs Ink (jet black). I cut my stamp into two separate pieces. (Wish Big)
