Instructions (Print version)

1. Trim a sheet of gray cardstock to 7”x10”, using the craft trimmer.
2. Fold the card in half and use the threading water border punch along the front edge, leaving space so that the backside shows through. Trim a piece of pink cardstock to 1”x7” and adhere to the back inside of the card, so that the pink shows through to the front side.
3. Use the “frame” stamp from the farmhouse set on blue cardstock. Then simply trim around it with the craft knife. Make sure you use the cutting mat too.
4. Then trim a vintage bookpage to about 4x5 and adhere to the front of the card. Trim 3 skinny strips of red cardstock and adhere around the bookpage. Cut one piece of vintage lace trim to 4.5” and adhere to the bottom of the red skinny strip at the bottom.
5. Machine stitch around the bookpage twice.
6. Make a slit about an inch above the bottom of the vintage bookpage to slip the black ribbon through. Wrap the ribbon around the front of the card and tie knot.
7. Place Cloud 9 Alpha Stickers to the Stamped framework to create sentiment block.
8. Adhere stamped piece to front of card over ribbon withfoam squares. 
9. Tuck vintage flower bouquet through ribbon and tack down with a dot of glue.
