Title Die cut- My Minds Eye
Instructions:
1. On a small portion of patterned paper for tag, spray on Goosebumps Texture Spray holding bottle about 10" away from paper. Allow to dry.
2. Using foam applicator apply inks to dried texture spray then use a dry paper towel to remove ink from the texture spray.
3. Using the Pear Tart stamp pad, apply ink to large vine and flower acrylic stamp then apply image to another area of the tag.
4. Spray Goosebumps Texture Spray directly onto butterfly and flower acrylic stamps then stamp several near the large vine and flowers image. Allow to dry on paper and wash stamps with warm water right away.
5. Apply inks to dried butterflies and flowers with a foam applicator then remove ink with a dry paper towel.
6. Use the Sweet Plum inkpad to apply ink to an open flower image and stamp directly onto paper and over some of the Goosebumps Texture Spray images. Use a dry paper towel to remove the ink on the images. The flowers will then look as if they are now behind the Texture Spray images.
7. Stamp tiny flowers throughout the stamped images for more color and interest.
8. Punch a hole into the top of the tag and apply a colored reinforcement ring.
9. Layer several patterned papers onto the diecut patterned paper using Perma Tac Adhesive. Add paper trims along bottom.
10. Adhere the tag to chipboard then Apply Raisen's 3/8" Adhesive Squares and add to the background papers. This will give the tag a little "lift" off of the background for added dimension. Adhere a photo next to the tag and machine stitch around the outside edges.
11. Add machine stitching as desired along edges of papers. Distress edges with ink and roll edges with your finger.
12. Sew on buttons and apply brads, chipboard embellishments and trinket pins as shown.
13. Use Perma Tac Adhesive to adhere the diecut background to the 12x12 patterned paper then add a few flowers and vines to the right of the tag a brad at the top and bottom of the diecut paper edge.

Sentiment: “It’s the little things in life that make life beautiful.”
Instructions:
1. Cut a 5 x 7 card front from gray cardstock. Use the Staz-On Opaque Cotton White to ink a large designed stamp - I used a floral pattern. Stamp the gray cardstock several times. Re-ink the stamp each time before stamping.
2. Once this is dry, spray the Bamboo Leaves Fireworks! Craft Ink over the surface – 2 or 3 sprays should do it and let dry.
3. To finish the background of the card, spray the Goosebumps Clear Texture.
Note: I found that adding the Fireworks! and Goosebumps sprays to the background made the Cotton White Opaque Ink images stand out even more.
4. Next, spray the green pattern paper with Bamboo and the type print pattern paper with Rhubarb then let dry.
5. Stamp butterfly images with Jet Black Staz-On Ink onto the type print pattern paper and cut out with a craft knife. Cut a large scalloped circle from the green pattern paper.
6. Cut a pattern paper strip a little wider than the card and use the Glue Glider Pro with Perma Tac Adhesive to apply it across the center of the card. Also apply the Perma Tac to a circle cut to fit inside the larger scalloped green circle.
7. Use a large piece of U-Cut-It Adhesive Foam on the back of the scalloped circle and apply it near the left side of the card, as shown. I also applied a smaller piece of U-Cut-It Adhesive Foam to the back of a sticker (with the card sentiment) that I adhered near the bottom left of the circle.
8. Apply Raise ‘Ns to the back of the cut out butterflies and adhere them near the top and bottom of the circle.
8. Apply Raise ‘Ns to the back of the cut out butterflies and adhere them near the top and bottom of the circle.
9. Add additional details to complete the card: rub-ons and more stamped butterfly images using Jet Black Staz-On Ink at a diagonal from the bottom left up towards the top right.
