Prepare card by cutting red cardstock at 4-1/4” x 8-1/2”. Fold in half to create a top fold card – a bone folder gives you a crisp fold. Stamp and sign the back. Set aside.
Cut a white panel at 5-1/4” x 4” for the inside of the
card. Sponge edges in Pool Party. Fade out 3 Christmas trees in the corner in
green ink. Stamp a phrase in red ink and
adhere to the inside of the card. Set
aside.
Stamp the little birdie on
white cardstock with red ink. Color with
Wink of Stella. Cut out and set aside.
Start with a 5-1/4" x
4" piece of Pool Party card stock for the pillow-top layer. Score diagonally
at ¾” in both directions, flip the layer over so that the raised score lines
are showing. This subtle texture is what makes this the simple version of
the technique.
Wrap 15” silver trim
around the panel about 1-3/4” from the bottom and tie a knot. Set aside.
Cut White
card stock at 2” by 3-3/4”. Use the
Music Note wheel with Basic Gray ink to cover. Punch with the tag punch. Sponge with Basic Gray ink. Tie a knot with 5” of green ribbon through
the tag. Set aside.

look. Adhere tags to Pool Party

together and pop up with Dimensionals. Add to front of tags.
Tie the silver cord into a
bow. Add a glue dot to the little birdie
and adhere to the bow.
Add tiny dabs of Silver
glitter glue at each score intersection. Give the glue about an hour dry
time to avoid smearing.
Add Silver Glimmer stars for sparkle.
Using a Christmas Napkin to make an Envelope
Turn iron on a medium-high setting.
Cut the freezer paper 8” square – napkin should be at
least 10” square.
Separate the printed layer of the napkin from the others.
If you miss a layer, the printed napkin will be separated from the freezer
paper and won't adhere when heat is applied.
Gently press the napkin to remove fold lines.
Place freezer paper on the ironing board with the shiny
side of the freezer paper facing up.
Place the wrong side of the napkin on top of the freezer
paper.
Put your iron in one place for a few seconds, lift it up,
don’t slide it, and put it down again somewhere else. Overlap your
pressings.
Turn paper over and press again.
Cut excess napkin flush with the freezer paper and iron
it again.
Complete using the Envelope Punch Board.
