Practice on plain paper

The template shows measurements and fold lines.

1. Place the circle template at the top of the practice piece of paper; mark the dimensions.

2. Cut out the paper edge [shaded] side of the circle and the curved side areas.

Note: the dotted lines are to be folded. Do not cut them.

3. Mark the other half of the circle and cut out with a craft knife, just to the Xs.

4. Make a valley fold from the Xs to the paper edges. This creates the swivel.

Instructions

1. Glue the patterned paper to the plain cardstock. 6” X 10

    Note: You may wish to weight the papers until they dry.                        

2. Follow the template, mark, cut and fold.

3. Glue the dark paper strip to the inside right of the card.

Note: Small foliage is stamped on the patterned paper side. Floral is stamped with the circle swiveled, the cream side.

If using plain paper for entire card, you will determine the image placements by which side the swivel opens to.

4. Ink and stamp the small foliage images.

5. Add the embossing powder, tap gently to save excess powder.

6. Heat the images.

7. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5, using the larger floral image.

8. Color in your images.

9.  Fits envelope 4 ¾” X 6 3/8”.
