1 Stamp the butter y border
across the top and bottom of
a circle of white cardstock.
Colour using Copic markers
and add detail with a whitegel pen. Layer onto a slightly
larger pink scalloped circle.
2 Position the ‘Thanks’
sentiment die in the centre
of the stamped panel and
secure using low-tack tape.
Die-cut then remove the die,
ensuring to put the offcuts
from the letters to one side.
3 Place a large circle die to
overlap the folded edge
of a white 14.5cm-square
card blank and cut out. Cut
the same die from white
cardstock and attach to the
card front. Trim 0.5cm from
the bottom.
4 Open out the card blank
and place the die-cut panel
centrally onto the card front.
Hold it in place using low-
tack tape and position thedie back inside the aperture.
Die-cut to create an identical
aperture from the card
front. Remove the tape to
separate the layers.
5 Attach a circle of acetate
onto the card front to cover
the aperture. Die-cut a
scalloped circle of pink
cardstock and attach to the
inside panel of the card.
6 Place the stamped panel
onto the card front ensuring
the apertures are lined up.
Reinsert the offcuts from
inside the letters.
7 Stamp the butter y border
onto white cardstock. Colour
three of the small butter ies
and layer onto three
co-ordinating butter ies
on the card front.
