Designer Series Paper: sun prints

Dies: all that, decorated pine

Ink: parakeet party, starry sky, sweet sorbet

Punches: banner pick a punch, best label

Stamp Sets: alphabest, artistically inked, he's all that

1. standard basic card 14.8 x 10.5, matt 14.3 x 10
2. stamp the images
3. carry out the die cutting
4. punch the letters and sentiment
5. Adhere the matt to the card base using wet glue.
6. position the rest of the layout and adhere using a combination of wet glue and dimensionals
