2- Place your paper in the corner of the Stamparatus. Center your first stamp on one of the cscored lines. Pick up the image with the clear plate. Ink and Stamp. Rotate your paper and repeat stamping.

3- Continue this process with other stamps and colors.

4- Then trim to 4” x 5 ¼”. Remove 3/4" from both the left & right sides. Then 1/8" from top & bottom. Adhere to the center of your cardbase.

5- Stamp your greeting on a strip of coordinating cardstock. I used Night of Navy and stamped with VersaMark ink, then applied White Embossing Powder and set with a heat tool.

6- Add adhesive to the back of the greeting, wrap 20” of Silver Twine and adhere to the back. Add to the center of the card with Dimensionals.

All Done!
