1- Make sure to use the Cutting Guide (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tkw0xnEZqQ0MfOrVRrz8lxn8lG_DphZL/view?usp=drive_link) to cut your pattern paper to the right size from the cardbases in the kit.

3- Add the Pink Dot Pattern pieces at the top of the Strawberry Slush piece with a 1/8” border. I placed the 2” x 2” first on the left side, then the 1” x 2” on the right side and finished with the 1-1/2” x 2” in the middle.


4- Cut a banner shape from the sides of the Pool Party strip and add between the Plaid & Dotted papers.


5- Stamp your greeting Hello, Friend in Garden Green Ink on the coordinating greeting label. Add to the center of the Pool Party piece with dimensionals.


6- To save Linen Thread: Place a glue dot in the bottom right area of the greeting. Take 21” of Linen Thread, place the ends together and measure about 4” down from the ends and add it to the glue dot. Take the remaining Linen Thread and evenly space it across the card and wrap the looped ends to the back, adhering it with Tear & Tape.


7- Add everything to the cardbase, make sure to reinforce the Linen Thread so it doesn’t pull off. Then tie the ends of the Linen Thread into a bow.

8- Add the three Strawberries to the Panels with dimensionals. I add the Largest Strawberry on the left and the two small ones in the middle. Add the 2 flowers around the strawberries.

All Done!

Thick Basic White Cardstock – 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

Pink Dots Cardbase (kit) – 2 ¾” x 5”

Pink & Orange Plaid Cardbase (kit) – 1” x 5”

Strawberry Slush Cardstock – 2-7/8” x 5-1/8”  &  1-1/8” x 5-1/8”

Linen Thread – 18”

Scallop Circle Die Cut (kit)

Large Strawberry Die Cut (kit)

3 - White Flower Die Cut (kit)

 


1- Make sure to use the Cutting Guide (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tkw0xnEZqQ0MfOrVRrz8lxn8lG_DphZL/view?usp=drive_link) to cut your pattern paper to the right size from the cardbases in the kit.

2- Cut from the front of the cardbase 1” from the right side.

3- Add the Pink Dot Pattern to the large Strawberry Slush piece. There will be a small 1/16” borader. Adhere it to the front of the cardbase in the center.


4- Add the Pink & Orange Plaid Pattern to the small Straweberry Slush piece it will also have a 1/16” border. Add it to the inside of the cardbase on the right side with a matching border as the front. It should show when the card is closed.


5- Stamp your greeting in Garden Green Ink inside the Scallop Circle. Add with dimensionals to the right side of the front, make sure to only place the dimensionals so it attaches to the top and not the inside.


6- Take 18” of Linen Thread and create a double faux bow on the left bottom area of the scallop.


7- Add a Large Strawberry Die Cut over the Linen Thread bow.

8- Add three White Flower Die Cuts around the card. I did use one with a dimensional in the top right corner and attached it to the inside but slightly over the front so it could act as a latch to hold the front down.

All Done!
