CEX 44 (A) Ladybug Accordion Card
Stamps by: Ladybugs and Just for You by
Posh Impressions; Sing and Dance by Darcies.
|
Supplies needed:
double stick tape or glue
Main cards original cut: 4 1/2 x 9
Folds to 4 1/2 x 4 1/2
White panels: 4 1/8 square
Polka Dot panels: 3 7/8 square
Checkered panels: 2 3/4 square
|
|
Instructions:
1. Here we go again with an accordion card!!
However, this one is going to be different than the Philosophy of
Friendship card. When you put these panels together, you
want the two outer panels to fold inward. As the card is
sitting on the table, it will display the side panels at a forward
angle from the center panel. Let me know if this does not
make sense.
2. Align the cards as you wish. Double stick tape one
of the panels. Position the appropriate panel onto the tape
and secure.
3. Layer the decorative papers and cardstock to the three
main panels (2, 3, 4).
4. Detail trim the ladybugs (they are not on cardstock).
5. Attach the ladybugs.
6. Layer the sayings onto the decorative paper. Sing
and Dance needs to be trimmed quite closely so that all the layers
will fit. Attach to the main card.
7. As you fold up the card, fold the far right panel in
first. The sing and dance panel will be showing (picture
number 2). Then fold the left panel over that. The
cover or Just for You panel will then be on top. As the
recipient of the card opens it, the sayings will be expressed and
then the ladybugs will be shown!!
8. Pretty simple, but very fun!!

CEX 44 (B) Dee's
Butterfly
Stamps by: Butterfly by Posh Impressions;
sayings by Penny Black and Stampendous; Envelope Butterfly
by Post Impressions.
Supplies needed:
double stick tape of glue
dries clear adhesive
clothespin
Main card original cut: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2
Folds to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
White panel: 3 3/4 x 5
Purple gingham: 3 1/2 x 4 3/4
|
|
Instructions:
1. Sometimes we do more of the card for you
than we mean to! That is why the butterflies in the initial
mailing are already mounted on the support stock!!
2. Detail trim the butterfly.
3. Layer the cardstock and decorative paper to the main
card.
4. Complete the inside of the card.
5. Push up the wings of the butterfly so that it has some
dimension. Apply glue to the body part of the butterfly (on
the cardstock) and position onto the card.
6. Using the dries clear adhesive, glue on the rhinestones
and bow. If needed, use a clothespin to hold the bow until
it is set.
7. Again, easy but very nice!!

CEX 45 Dee's Magnolia
Thank You
Stamps by: Magnolia, Butterfly, Sayings by
Posh Impressions; other sayings by Printworks, Darcies.
Supplies needed:
Double stick tape or glue
Dries clear adhesive
Pop Dots: 1/16, 1/8 inch
Tweezers (if desired)
|
|
Instructions:
1. Both butterflies and the magnolia need to
be placed onto support stock. Then, detail trim.
2. The leaves are NOT on support stock. Detail trim.
3. Layer the cardstock and papers onto the main card.
4. Place the corners onto the "Thanks a Bunch"
piece. Remember that these corners are more for decoration
than function, so be sure to place tape on the back of them.
Attach to the main card. Be sure to place it very much
toward the top of the green gingham so that the magnolia will
fit!!
5. Lay the leaves onto the card with the Peel'n'Stick still
attached. Lay the magnolia over the leaves. Then,
attach the leaves one at a time using the magnolia as a guide.
6. Using the 1/16 inch pop dots, attach the magnolia to the
main card. Remember that pop dots will not stick to velvet,
so be sure to place them appropriately.
7. Using the 1/8 inch pop dots, attach the butterflies to
the main card.
8. Complete the inside of the card.
9. Using the dries clear adhesive (and tweezers), glue on
all the rhinestones and the ladybug button. Allow to dry!

for any inconvenience.

CEX 46
Sunflower/Bee's Duets Card
Stamps by: Bee, Sunflower, Leaf Duets by
Posh Impressions; sayings by Posh Impressions, Darcies,
Printworks.
Supplies needed:
double stick tape or glue
dries clear adhesive
Pop Dots; 1/16, 1/8, 1/4
|
|
Instructions:
1. Layer all velvet images EXCEPT THE LEAVES
onto support cardstock. Detail trim.
2. From the black sunflowers, you need to cut the centers
out fully. Also, you need the "length" pieces in
one piece (make sense???). So cut them from the sides.
3. Layer the cardstock and decorative papers to the main
card.
4. Preliminarily lay your design out. Then piece by
piece (from the bottom), start assembling. The leaves are
right to the card. The bottom Aztec gold sunflower is on the
1/16 pop dots. The black accent sunflower pieces are on with
1/8 pop dots. ****At this point you need to keep in mind
that the pop dots will not stick to velvet, so you need to pay
closer attention to your pop dot placement. The top
sunflowers are on with 1/4 pop dots.
5. Using 1/8 or 1/4 pop dots, attach the bees.
6. Complete the inside of the card.
7. Using dries clear adhesive, glue the black centers to the
top sunflowers. Allow to dry.

trimmed closer than usually before going onto the support stock.
Then, they need to be lined up when attached to the support stock.
Detail trim.
2. Layer the cardstock and papers to the main card.
Remember that the corners are more for decorative use than
functional, so be sure to secure with tape or glue before placing
down.

4. Using the 1/16 pop dots, attach the Hope to the main
