1. Cut all of the pieces out of the template provided.

2. Draw around the template pieces on the first colour card.
1 x A, 3 x C and 1 x B and then cut these out.
Score the lines and punch out the hole on part A as shown on the template.
Draw around and cut out 3 x D on a contrasting card.

3. Layer and glue pieces D on top of pieces C,
then stick the Dufex stickers on top.

4. Place double sided tape just below the score lines adding
an extra piece of the tape to the bottom square,
then add the layered squares in place under the score lines

5. Now add piece B with double sided tape
 in the centre to attach it the waterfall piece A.

6. Take the last A4 card and fold it in half to form the main body
of your card. Cut the contrasting card slightly smaller
than the card front and stick it in place using double sided tape.

7. Place the Iridescent peel off borders down the edges
of the contrasting card and the edges of the main card.

8. Attach the waterfall to your card at the anchor points on piece B
with a couple of Gem Brads and insert a ribbon through the punched
hole in piece A (this will be pulled to make the waterfall cascade).
Add a peel off sentiment above the ribbon and a
peel off butterfly to the bottom corner of the card.

Flapper Hat Card

Craft Products used:

Cuttlebug Die-Cutting & Embossing Machine
Cuttlebug Asterisks dies
Cuttlebug Happy Birthday embossing folder
Cuttlebug Mesh Texture embossing folder
Papermania Gem Brads
6x6 cards
Patterned paper
Mirri card
Ribbon of your choice
Amos Super Stik
DST

1. Cut out the main hat template and place it left side edge onto the fold of the
6x6 card, draw around the template and then cut this out, making sure that
you do not cut down the fold of the card.

2. Next, use the Cuttlebug and the embossing folders to emboss the background design onto the patterned paper or the mirri card. Again draw around the hat template, cut out and stick onto the card base using the Amos Super Stik.

3. Then cut the brim of the card, either from contrasting card or some
fancy ribbon, and stick this down using DST (double sided tape),
leaving a small gap from the base of the card.

   4. To make the flower embellishment, you use the Asterisks Cuttlebug Dies.
Cut from contrasting card, then layer the flowers, stacking largest to smallest
and use a gem brad as a flower centre to keep them together.
Attach the flower by pushing the brad through the card & opening out the stems.

Now sit back and enjoy a well-earned cuppa and a sumptuous jam tart.
