DIRECTIONS
 Card #1
Cut coordinating paper from collection in strips and glue it to the front of a 5” by 7” card. 
Using strips of rhinestones from the collection, attach 3 strips of rhinestones across the middle.
Stamp sentiment across the bottom and heat emboss with silver embossing powder.
Pop out flower embellishments from the collection and glue to the left side of the card with ribbon.


Card #2
Cut a strip of red checked paper from the collection and glue it across the middle of a blank 5” by 7” card.
Use a feather die, cut six feathers from different coordinating papers from the collection, set aside.
Stamp sentiment across the bottom of the card and heat emboss with silver powder.
Sew buttons and flower onto the gingham ribbon with a needle and thread.
Glue feathers across the middle of the card.  Glue gingham ribbon that has buttons and flower sewn to it across the middle of the attached feathers.


Card #3
Stamp phrenology head onto white card stock using StazOn Jet Black ink.  Stamp numbers and diamond shapes randomly around the head.
Edge the white panel with Brilliance Lightning Black and Beige inks, heat emboss with clear powder.
Die cut letters from the same paper collection and glue across the front of the card.
Pop out flowers and flourish, attach to stamped panel.
Mat the white panel on to red coordinating paper that is cut ¼” larger.  Mat to white blank folded card.  Distress the edges of the card with Pearlescent Poppy ink.

Tie red Baker’s twine to the left side of card.  Tie gold twine from the Ruby Rocket It ribbon collection to the red twine.
