Dries Clear Adhesive
Pop Dots: 1/8 inch
Measurements:

Folds to: 5 x 7

trim.
2. Using double stick tape or glue, attach the bear to the main
card.

dots.

CEX105 Froggy Valentine
Stamps by: Frog and Hat by Museum of Modern Rubber; Sayings by Posh Impressions; Azadi; and one that was computer generated.
Supplies needed:
Double stick tape or glue
Dries clear adhesive
Pop dots; 1/8 inch
Measurements
Main card: 8 1/2 x 11
Folds to: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2
Decorative Panel: 5 1/4 x 8 1/4
*****When Marlean first put this card together, she wanted a long-stem rose button to go on the hat. We could not find any in our stash (surprise, surprise). So, she used the bow and rhinestones. Included in your kit is the set-up for what is pictured along with a long-stem rose and an additional bow. You can choose which way you prefer.****
Instructions:
1. Place the hat on the support stock and detail
trim.
2. Detail trim the frog which is not on cardstock.
3. Layer the decorative paper onto the main card.
4. Remove the Peel'n'Stick and position the frog on the main card.
5. Tentatively position the hat and feather. When you are sure
of your placement, use an extra piece of double stick tape (or
Peel'n'Stick) to secure the feather.
6. Pop dot the hat onto the main card. Remember that pop dots
will not stick to velvet or the feather, so you will need to do some strategic
placement. Again, sometimes it is easier to put the dots onto the
card and then the image onto the dots.
7. Layer the saying onto the front. Layer the inside sayings
as well.
8. Using the dries clear adhesive, glue on the
"accessories".
9. Happy Valentine's Day!!

Pop Dots; 1/8 inch
Black Marker
Instructions:
1. Both bears will go on white cardstock for color
support. Detail trim.
2. Detail trim the inside hearts.
3. Detail trim the hat. Using the black marker, do some
detailing to give it some shape. We outlined the entire hat, filled
in the "band", and the shadow of the opening.
4. Layer all the decorative panels onto the main card.
5. Position the bears onto the main card. It does take a bit
of positioning to have them kiss. Ours are on the card flat, but if
you want to pop dot, knock yourself out!!
6. Pop dot on Mr. Bear's hat.
7. Complete the inside of the card. On our sample, we have one
inside panel blank. We included two of the long Happy Valentine's
Day sayings for possible use. Also, you could use one for a
signature panel. Just a couple of ideas---
8. The inside velvet hearts are on flat as well.
9. Using the dries clear adhesive, glue on the bows and the rose
button. Allow everything to dry.
