Instructions: The ready top fold card from a smooth white card stock measures, 7″ by 7″. Take a card stock measuring 14′ by 7 “. Score at 7″ on long side and fold. Choose 6″ by 6″ panel from the paper collection, distress all the edges and mat an extra layer of white cardstock creating a delicate border of 1/4″ on all the sides. Cut the window using Cut Mat Create 2A Die. Layer a scenic paper from the back. For the next layer cut a blue color paper from the designer paper collection and cut measuring 6″ 1/2″ by 6 1/2”. Distress all the sides and layer it on the ready card base.

Next, stamp the images from Sea Breeze Harbor Cling Stamp Set, A Day at Sea Cling Stamp Set and Sand and Sunsets Cling Stamp Set on white card stock using archival ink and color the images using Zig Clean Clear Brush Markers. Cut all the images using their coordinating dies. and stack an extra die-cut to all the images to add extra strength. Layer these painted images on the ready card panel as shown by adding dimensions with foam dots.

Stamp the sentiment from Just For You Sentiments Cling Stamp Set and cut it using Circle Basics Large Die. Stack 2 extra die cuts for strength. Tie a natural color twine and secure the ends. Once all the elements are ready, assemble the card as shown and finish the card by adding dry jute, Expresso prills, and Rajni Chawla’s Frosting Powder.
