COTM035 Happy Halloween

Double Stick tape or glue
Pop Dots:  1/8 inch

Fold to:  5 1/2 x 6 1/2
Decorative Panels:  5 1/4 x 6 1/4

Instructions:

 See the picture below for help in placement of the music module.

1.  The fold of the card is key to proper placement of the music module.  The edge of the rectangular section of the music modules lines up exactly with the fold of the card.  Place the semi-circle sticker onto panel two (shown below in orange).  The majority of the music module is on panel three shown in yellow below.

2.  Place pop dots all panel three (with the music module).

3.  Place an additional cardstock panel over panel three (yellow) that matches the color of the card.  On this Halloween card, the panel will be black.

COTM036  Happy Thanksgiving Pie

Stamps by Heartlooms;  Sayings by Darcies

Supplies needed:

Double stick tape or glue
Pop Dot

Instructions:

Since we were so down to the wire in getting these out for Thanksgiving, be assembled one pie.  We wanted to make sure you could use it this year.
1.  To assemble the pie:  cut around the filling images very closely--especially the bottom and side that goes into the crust.
2.  Remove the Peel'n'Stick and place the filling down onto the crust.  I find it easier to do this upside down.  The part you need to pay attention to is the scallops of the crust.
3.  Place image onto support cardstock.  Detail trim this piece as normal.
4.  Layer on the decorative papers.
5.  Layer on your sayings.
6.  Place the pie onto the main card.
7.  Using just one pop dot, attach the whipped cream onto the card. 
8.  We wish you all a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!
 

COTM037  Gingerbread Gift Bag

Stamps by Heartlooms

Supplies needed:

Double stick tape or glue
Pop dots
Dries clear adhesive
Hole Punch

Instructions:

1.  Detail trim the house, the chimney, the roof, and roof snow.  The only images on support are the snowy pieces.
2.  Place the house directly onto the bag.
3.  Position the chimney on the bag (it is flush with the house).
4.  Using pop dots, position the roof and the snow for the chimney onto the main bag.  Remember to have your pop dots stick to the paper more than the velvet.
5.  Using dries clear adhesive, glue the button and the wreath to the house and allow to dry.
6.  Layer together the gift tag. 
7.  Detail trim the little gingerbread house.  Position onto the card.
8.  When you hole punch, you may need to punch one layer at a time.
9.  Attach your card and you are set!  Merry Christmas!!
