Dazzlia and Delightful Sentiments Collection

Step by step instructions:

1. Trim Cypress Pine Cardstock to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
and Naughty or Nice Pattern Paper to 4" x 5 1/2".

Here is the link to the video on how to: 
- Partial die-cut with Modern Essentials Rectangle Cut, Foil and Emboss Die;
- Create Pop Up Section with Mini Score Board and
- Create the Slider.

2. Use Partial Die-cut Technique with Cut, Foil and Emboss Die:

- Place patterned paper on first cutting plate.

- Lay Modern Essentials Rectangle Cut, Foil and Emboss Die
in the centre of the patterned paper. 

- Carefully place the second cutting plate on top of the die
so that everything is covered by the plate 
except for one end of the rectangle die.

- Run through the die-cutting machine.

3. Creating the Pop Up Section:

- Using the Mini Score Board create a score line
across the top section of the rectangle to create a fold
(section that was not cut).

- Create a score line in the centre of the rectangular piece.

- Create last score line on the end of the rectangular shape.
Score line needs to be approximately 1/4".

- Fold on all of the score lines to create a little tent.

4. Creating the Slider:

- Trim Cypress Pine Cardstock to 2 7/16" x 4 3/4".

- Trim Naughty or Nice Pattern Paper to 2 5/16" x 4 5/8"
and adhere onto cardstock using double sided tape.

- Take cardstock and slide it in behind
the rectangular shape on your patterned paper
until it meet up with the bottom of the rectangular opening.

- Add glue to the 1/4" scored section on the bottom of the card.
Lay the rectangle section flat and adhere the 1/4" section
to the bottom of the green slider piece.

- Flip over the patterned paper, with the slider piece attached,
and add double sided tape to the side
and bottom of the patterned paper.
You want to make sure that you do not add any double sided tape
to the green slider piece or it will not slide.

- Adhere onto the card base.

  

5. Grab the slider and create a small hole in the slider.

Thread a bit of ribbon through the hole and tie a little knot.

6. Use Inked Letterpress Technique with Cut Foil and Emboss Die:

and run through die-cutting machine.
