Directions
Note: You may want to do Step 5 first so you can let the glue set up.
- Stamp otter in Memento ink on Basic White scrap, then stamp the hat on his head.
- Color using Stampin' Blends.
- Cut out otter and use the Smoky Slate Blend on the edges of the cardstock to create a more finished look.
- Apply dimensionals and adhere otter to Basic White rectangle.
- Glue the cardstock strips to the window sheet, alternating thin and thick and leaving a consistent space between them.
- Allow the glue to dry a bit and then trim the length of the window sheet to coincide with the edge of the last colored cardstock strip.
- Adhere strips to card base with dimensionals, taking care that the dimensionals are only adhered to the areas covered by the cardstock.
- Stamp "It's birthday time!" underneath strip piece.
- Apply an odd number of Basic Rhinestones to the front of the card as desired (not shown on video).
- Stamp the sentiment in one of the colors and party hats in different colors on the inside of the card.
- Stamp a party hat (or a few) on the envelope.
