INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Using the Whisper White Cardstock scraps, stamp one bow in Bermuda Bay (stamped off) with Lemon Lime Twist (full strength) as the accent and one bow in Berry Burst (stamped off) and Berry Burst (full strength) as the accent. Fussy cut out the bows.
  2.  Next using the 2-1/4” square of Whisper White Cardstock, stamp three candles in Bermuda Bay, Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst (full strength). Add the flame in Daffodil Delight. Next stamp “cue the confetti” in Memento Tuxedo Black. Adhere this piece of Cardstock to the Basic Black 2-1/8” square.
  3. Attach your desired piece of Picture Perfect Party DSP to the Whisper White Cardstock that measures 3 x 4-1/4”. This piece will then be attached to the longest piece (measuring 4-1/2” x 3-1/4”) of the scored Basic Black. Once you have that attached, adhere the “cue the confetti” piece.
  4. On the Whisper White Cardstock measuring 2-1/2” x 3”, stamp the base of the horn blower in Bermuda Bay (stamped off) and then add the polka dots in Bermuda Bay (full strength). Next add the fringes in Peekaboo Peach and the rolled up piece of the horn blower in Lemon Lime Twist. Also add some confetti for fun! This piece gets attached to the middle section on the Basic Black folded piece.
  5. On the last piece of Whisper White Cardstock measuring 2-1/2” x 3” stamp “happiest of birthdays to you” in Memento Black, a bow in Bermuda Bay (stamped off) with the accents in full strength. Add some more confetti! This piece then gets attached to the lower piece of the Memento Black Cardstock.
  6. You will now attach the Basic Black piece to the Bermuda Bay piece. As you will see in the picture, the bottom piece of the Basic Black piece is fully glued down with SNAIL adhesive. The top piece only has SNAIL adhesive on the top “half”. Be sure to score all of your pieces with a bone folder before attaching. This will make your folds work well.
