Materials

2 A4 Sheets JS Stardream Card - I used Citrine.
1 A4 Sheet JS Gold Mirri Card.
1 A4 Sheet JS Gentle Gloss Photo Paper.
1 A4 Sheet - approx 120gsm paper for Insert.
1 A4 Sheet - approx 160gsm thin card for backing paper.
Approx 1.25 metres ribbon 1.5cms wide. (Optional approx 1.25 metres narrow ribbon).
Diamante Crystals to decorate.
Sticky Stuff - I used, Double Sided Tape and Red Liner Ultra High Adhesion Double Sided Tape.
JS Viva La Divas CD.

 

Step One

Using Gentle Gloss photo paper print out one of the large toppers.

Using 160gsm thin card, print out the matching backing paper.

Using 120gms print out an insert. How to add a sentiment is explained on the CD.

 

Step Two

Cut two pieces of Stardream card 20cms x 20cms.

Score a vertical line down the left-hand side of both pieces of card, 3cms from the left side edge. Do not fold the score line.

 

Step Three

Cut a 3cms wide strip from the right-hand side of the card front. Do not discard.

 

Step Four

Cut two slots wide enough to thread the ribbon through an equal distance from the top and bottom of the 3cms strip.

Thread the ribbon from the front to the back of the strip twisting the ribbon in the centre before threading through the second slot.

Cross the ribbons at the back of the strip and thread back through the slots to the front.

I secured my ribbon to the back of the strip using a small piece of sticky tape to stop the ribbon slipping.

 

Step Five

Using Red Liner Tape stick the 3cms strip of card to the right-hand side edge of the inside of the card back section. Trim the ribbon and add a diamante where the ribbon twists.

Apply double sided tape to the 3cms strip at the left-hand side of the inside of the card back.

 

 

Step Six

Mount the topper on JS gold mirri card and the backing paper.

Fix the topper to the front of the card.

Remove the double sided tape and join the back and front of the card together at the left-hand side.

Cut two slots for threading ribbon at the left-hand side of the card, positioning them in line with the slots at the right hand side.

Thread the ribbon and add diamante where the ribbon twists. The card will look neater if you knot the ribbon at the back of the card before threading back to the front.

This card will fit in a 22cms x 22cms envelope.
