So Proud Of You - 08/20/2025

Trim the Gold textured sheet, from the 12 x 12 pad, to 5 3/4 x 7 3/4". Adhere to the front of your cream card blank. 

Choose 2 different but coordinating decorative sheets. 

Trim one slightly smaller than the Gold decorative paper and then tear along the bottom so it's shorter. Repeat the same with the second sheet but so it's slightly smaller and shorter than the previous one (as seen here and in the finished photo). 

Adhere the smaller layer on top of the bigger one. 

Wrap twine around the bottom (but above the torn edges) and secure with a bow. I like to secure my twine on the reverse of the pape with double-sided tape, to hold it in place. 

Adhere your papers on to your prepped card blank. 

Cut a topper around your chosen focal image, so it's smaller than the top torn layer of your card. Tear the bottom edge, using the corner punch to round off the top corners. 

Blend your Walnut Stain around the edges. 

Using the dies as a guide, cut ONE drop from the Sepia washi roll. Lift up the backing sheet along one end of the tape and adhere across the top of an A4 sheet of white card. Slowly peel away the backing, as you use your hand to smooth the washi tape down on to the card. Once the backing has been fully removed, you can burnish the washi to ensure there are no air bubbles or creases.

Line up the second die, secure in place and run through your machine. 

Once all elements are die cut, pop out the sentiments, pick out the one you are using for this project and keep the rest in a tub for future projects.

Adhere your chosen sentiment across your topper. 

Adhere to the front of your card, to complete your project.
