Cutting & Scoring
PURSE
- Whisper White cut at 6″ by 6″
- You will score at 1 ¼” and 4 ¾” rotate and score at 2 ½” and 3 ½”
- ½” by 3 ½” strips (you need 2)
- Handles cut at ½” by 6″
CARD
- Card base cut at 5 ½” by 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”
- Bermuda Bay cut at 4″ by 5 ¼”
- Whisper White cut at 4″ by 5 ¼”
Instructions
PURSE
- I randomly stamped the flowers all over the 6″ by 6″ Whisper White piece, figured out where i was gonna place the punched out circle and took the circle and put it on the paper before stamping the flower
- Score all the score lines
- On the 1 ¼” side you are gonna fold above and below the score lines like this
- Repeat on the opposite side too
- I did those score lines just using my fingers
- Once you have done that on both sides you are gonna glue all four corners
- You are gonna curl the handles using your Bone Folder I did score all the handles at ¾” and attach it to the purse
- The strips of ½” by 3 ½” will go on the brim of the purse covering the handles
- Colored in my flower and punched out a Bermuda Bay circle and attached it where I placed the smaller circle attached the colored circle on top of the Bermuda Bay
CARD
- Folded the card base in half
- Used the Bermuda Bay and punched out the circles I knew I was covering it so I didn’t need additional cardstock
- I layered the Whisper White and Bermuda Bay on top of each other before placing it at an angle to cut the cardstock knowing that they would line up perfectly once shifted
- Stamped the flowers randomly on the Whisper White piece, placed the circle on top of the Whisper White so when I removed it the circle was also stamped with flowers
- Attached the Bermuda Bay to the card
- Attached the Whisper White on top of the Bermuda Bay
- Placed the Bermuda Bay circle where the Whisper White circle was, colored in the flowers and attached it to the Bermuda Bay Circle
- The little edge piece I cut away I used to stamp and punch out the sentiment
- Place the Silver Metallic Thread behind it and popped it up with a Dimensional
