Let’s Create

1. Affix all stamps to acrylic blocks.
2. Fold and burnish card base at the score line using bone folder.
3. Take the 4” x 6” card from the card pack and with the right side at the top cut a 1 1/8” strip.  Slide the card over and cut another 1 1/8” strip.  Finally slide the card over and cut the last 1 1/8” strip.
4. Keeping the strips in order, glue the left side strip to the panel of Pretty Peacock leaving about 1/8” left side and about ¼” at the top. 
5. Glue the left side strip to the panel of Pretty Peacock leaving about 1/8” on the top and left side.  Tip – use a ruler lined up with the top of the strip you attached in Step 4 to help get the rest of your strips lined up at the top.
6. Glue the center strip to the panel of Pretty Peacock leaving equal spacing between the other 2 strips and lining up the top. 
7. Wrap a strip of Gold trim 2 times the panel just slightly lower than center from Step 6 and tie a bow on the front.  Allow a little space between the 2 pieces of Gold trim you wrapped around.  Tip – If you want you can wrap the trim around the panel and secure on the back with Tear & Tape then tie your bow and add it with a glue dot. 
8. Add the panel from Step 7 to the card front centering on all sides.
9. Use the Modern Oval punch and the scrap of White to punch out the shape.   
10. Stamp the sprig from the Textured Floral stamp set to stamp across the top of the punched piece from Step 9 alternating colors Pretty Peacock and Wild Wheat. 
11. With your trimmer cut the bottom of the shape off about ¼” below the stems.  See photo above.
12. Add dimensionals to the shape from Step 11 and add the image in the lower right hand corner about ½” from the card base.
13. Sprinkle on some gems (optional)
14. Stamp and decorate the remaining 4” x 5 ¼” Basic White panel and attach to the inside.
