Metallic Cardstock (unknown)

Noir Ink Pad (Palette)

Directions:
1.
Take an 8¾”
x 3” strip of blue cardstock which has a white core, and place it the Scor-Pal.
I place the left edge of the paper at the 4” mark and score at 4¾” and 9”. (This
is actually a ¾” and 5” mark if measured from the left side).
2.
Rotate the
card so the right top corner and the left bottom corner are sharing the same
line and score. Repeat the score marks every ½” until the card is covered with
angled marks.
3.
Rotate the
card so that now the top left edge and the bottom right edge meet on the same
line and repeat scoring as in step 2. When finished you should have diamonds
covering the front of your card.
4. To distress the
paper, take a nail file and sand the top of the surface so that the white starts
to show through.
4.
Fold along
the original score marks made in step 1, creating a matchbook.
5.
Stamp
cupcake onto white and silver cardstock with Palette Noir ink.
6.
Cut out only
the wrapper portion from the silver cupcake.
7.
Score along
markings with the embossing stylus and adhere to the bottom portion of the white
card.
8.
Apply
glitter glue along the icing and set aside to dry.
9.
Stamp cherry
and flower, color with pencils and cut out.
10.
Apply
Crystal Lacquer to the cherry and set aside to dry.
11.
Cut a green
square and layer onto a slightly larger white square. Adhere this to the front
flap of matchbook cover. Adhere the cupcake to center of the square with pop
dots.
12.
Stamp saying
onto green strip and adhere to slightly larger white strip. Trim the edges with
decorative scissors, and adhere to bottom flap.
13.
Adhere the
flower with pop dots to lower flap as shown, and glue the cherry onto the icing
as shown.
