|
Score the cardstock that will be the body of the card. The scoring separates the cardstock into 4 equal sections. | |||
 |
Remove one of the quarters using scissors or the cutting tool. Lay the cardstock down so it looks like a backward "L" | |||
 |
Use a punch or a circle cutting system, like the Coluzzle, to cut out an opening that will be large enough for the image you have chosen. You can make this opening larger or smaller to fit your needs. | |||
 |
Fold the section that has the circle removed down over and use the 1 1/4" circle punch to remove a half circle from the two sections of cardstock. | |||
 |
Open the card up and then fold the bottom left section over and punch again. The punch can't handle three pieces of cardstock at once, that is why this takes two steps. This is what your finished card body should look like. | |||
 |
Stamp the image you will be using onto the imaging sheet that comes with the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig. I use a dark color of classic ink, not the StazOn we will be using for the later steps, because it cleans off the imaging sheet with ease. | |||
 |
Lay the Slider piece under the punched out shape, lining up the top of the cardstock and centering the Slider in the card. Stamp the image in StazOn ink through the opening. | |||
 |
Remove the White Slider from the card and lay the window sheet over top of it, lining up the edges. Lay the imaging sheet on top and perfectly line up the crab images. Remove the imaging sheet and stamp the crab in StazOn on the imaging sheet. | |||
 |
The images should be lined up precisely, so you can't tell that there are two different images stamped. | |||
 |
Here you can see the two crabs. Set the window sheet aside to dry. | |||
 |
Color in the image that is on the cardstock. I also added some addition birthday images. These did not need to be lined up with the image on the window sheet. | |||
 |
After the window sheet dries, line it up with the colored image and then attach the two together with a small circle of cardstock and a brad or eyelet. They need to only be attached at the top. | |||
 |
Open up the body of your card and attach a piece of cardstock that is the same color as your slider piece. I used Naturals White. The size of this cardstock will be determined by the size of the opening you cut. This cardstock must be larger than the opening, so that when the card is closed, none of the Soft Sky will show. | |||
 |
Slide the window sheet over top of the cardstock you just attached, but have the colored piece go behind the Soft Sky. Use Sticky strip to close up the card and also close the additional flap that hides the colored image. | |||
