Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 – Using the paper trimmer, cut the card base and layers to size. Score the card base for a side fold card.

Step 2 – Fold card base and use the Bone Folder tool to burnish a crisp edge on the fold.  (HINT: I burnish the back. The bone folder tends to make the burnished edge ‘shiny’ and I don’t want that shiny edge showing on the front of my card.)

Step 3 – Cut the top right and bottom left corners of your front flap off. TOP RIGHT: Cut in 2 3/16″ and then cut diagonally to the RIGHT edge, down 2 3/16″.  Do the same on the BOTTOM LEFT corner.

Step 4 – Adhere the Silver Foil strips to the back of the fresh cuts, leaving 1/8″ exposed.

Step 5 – Slightly cut down the height of your background DSP so it doesn’t interfere with your top fold and adhere to the back of the front card flap.

Step 6 – Adhere the Wonderful World DSP to the inside bottom of the card.

Step 7 – Using the Scalloped Contour Dies (2nd largest die), die cut the Basic White layer.

Step 8 – Adhere the Basic White die cut later to the inside bottom of the card on top of the Wonderful World DSP.

Step 9 – Using the Label Me Fancy Punch, punch out both the Basic White label and the Wonderful World DSP label.

Step 10 – Stamp your sentiment on the Basic White label.

Step 11 – Cut the Wonderful World DSP label in half the long way. Adhere each piece to the back of the Basic White label, leaving about 1/8″ showing at the top and the bottom.

Step 12 – Using the Wisteria Dies and the Hues of Happiness DSP, cut 3 each of the Wisteria flowers (both parts) from the DSP that is a multicolor pattern. Glue the smaller part of the flower over the top of the larger flower. You should have 3 flowers when you’re done.

Step 13 – Using the Wisteria Dies and the Hues of Happiness DSP, cut a few pieces of the leaf dies from the DSP that is a multicolor pattern.

Step 14 – Arrange, but don’t adhere, the leaves and flowers on the card front and then decide where you want to stamp two stamped images of Wisteria flowers

Step 15 – Using the Wisteria Wishes Stamp Set and the Rich Razzleberry stamp pad, stamp two wisteria flowers on the card front.

Step 16 – Adhere the wisteria leaves to the card front.

Step 17 – Adhere the wisteria flowers to the card front, using Stampin’ Dimensionals to raise one wisteria flower.

Step 18 – Adhere the sentiment label to the card front, using Stampin’ Dimensionals to raise it up.

Step 19 – Adhere three Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front. (Use one large and 2 small butterflies.)

Step 20 – Use Wink of Stella to color the wisteria flowers and give them a nice sparkle!
