Instructions

1.    Fold sheet of Medium Blue cardstock in half (5 ½” x 4 ¼”).

2.    Stamp snowflakes randomly on strip of white sparkles cardstock with blue ink. Keep one large snowflake inked up (face down on the ink pad).

3.    Take your piece of white fun foam and heat tool. Heat both sides of the fun foam until you see it kind of change (about 10 seconds). Set down heat tool, grab your stamp, and press into the warm fun foam. Use pressure and hold to the count of 15. Lift stamp off.

4.    Trim fun foam with deckle scissors. Mount to square of blue cardstock with YES glue.

5.    Apply MonoAdhesive on back of blue square, white sparkles square, and white sparkles strip. 

6.    Attach right side of the blue square to the right side of white sparkles square being sure to keep the left side unattached. Slip the left side over/under the stamped strip.

7.    Attach all this to the folded blue cardstock.

8.    Stamp greeting in bottom right corner of blue cardstock.

9.    Stamp saying of your choice inside card.

You can use an un-inked stamp pressed into the fun foam. It just depends on what look you are trying to achieve. When doing this, you may want to use some Metallic Rub On around the outside of the stamped image.

Have fun stamping!
