Measurements and Instructions

Finished card is 4-1/4 x 5-1/2

🍋 Create card blank by scoring your 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 card stock in half at 4-1/4. Folded edge is to the left.

🍋 Background layer with design paper 4 x 5-1/4

🍋 Cut circle with edge detail using Spotlight on Nature dies. Punch a second circle using a 2-1/2 punch, or similar.

🍋 Cut approximately 30” of your favorite twine.

🍋 Use the bough punch to cut a few sprig embellishments from green card stock.

🍋Add twine in a loose circular pattern over smaller circle, wide enough to be seen when covered by the larger circle. Use tape runner to hold twine in place. Add (two) foam adhesive pieces cut to approximately ¾ x 1-1/2 each over the twine on the smaller circle. Flip the larger circle over and center the smaller circle, adhering the two together. Add lemon imagery fussy-cut from the design papers to the front along with a few embellishments. Add sprig embellishments to the back. Your die cut embellishment is ready to add to your card.

🍋Stamp sentiment on a scrap strip of card stock. Trim one edge vertical, the other on the diagonal. Line the vertical edge up with the edge of the background layer and adhere. No dimensionals.

🍋Inside writing panel, white card stock: 4 x 5-1/4

Twinkle Tip✧

Foam adhesive sheets are a crafters must-have. They can be cut to fit any project and are great for assembling larger card embellishments, especially those with ribbon or twine.
