Designer papers for front and inside area 1 ¾” x 4 ¾”. Cut 3 of Daffodil Afternoon Designer papers from Sale A Bration Jan-Feb 2022, or your choice of papers. Linen thread  or coordinating ribbon of your choice, is 18” long.  

Use Tasteful Labels die set or similar to fit.  

Stamp Set is Easter Friends from the Jan - Jun Mini Catalog 2022.

The Slim Tent card is designed to stand up, with the signature not visible. Signature can be added on the back.

Optional Assembly: Attach two chicks on the front; or two chicks on the top, inside, which would leave more space inside for your signature.  Put the sentiment on the front instead of inside.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1:  look at the double-sided Designer papers and choose the prints you’ll use on the each of the 3 parts – front, top & bottom of inside.

Step 2: before you adhere the Designer papers, attach the inside die cut/tag, making sure it will line up with the green die cut/tag that will be attached on the front.

Step 3: attach the three (3) Designer double sided papers to the front, top & bottom of inside.

Step 4:  Attach the green die cut/tag to the front, making sure it lines up and covers the tan die cut/tag. This one goes over the Designer papers, while the inside one goes under the papers.

Step 5: Stamp one of each of the three (3) chicks in colors that coordinate with your Designer papers. I stamped with Early Espresso ink on Basic White, Very Vanilla, Daffodil Delight cardstock, then cut them out, and color the beak and feet on each with a colored pencil. Attach the chicks – one on the front, two layered on the inside bottom with Tombo Multi-Purpose Glue.  (If you're new to this glue, use just a few dots - its very sticky; don't get it on your project, hands or clothing; you can reposition your image quickly if its off centered)

Step 6: tie the Linen Thread around the top front as desired. 

Step 7:  Stamp the sentiment with Early Espresso ink. Cut around the sentiment or use as a rectangle shape.  Attach to inside top.    

 

You can make this card your own design for any season or occasion.  Choose a Designer Series Paper and stamp and die sets that coordinate - one of the reasons we love Stampin' Up! products.  The die cut/tag should set out to the side, the eye-catching piece of this card.  Watch Tina Zinck's video on YouTube and see the variety of shapes she uses.
