1

Die-cut the selected die twice from scrap card, and once from vellum. You’ll need two complete homemade letterpress elements.

2

Use glue to adhere all three die-cuts together, making sure you add the vellum one to the bottom.

3

Ink up the homemade letterpress element, adding the ink directly to the vellum side.

4

Repeat the process in Step 3 for the second letterpress element.

5

Place the cardstock onto the embossing mat then carefully flip over the inked letterpress elements and add them to the card front.

6

Run through your die-cutting machine using the same sandwich you would use to emboss a die, then carefully remove the letterpress elements.

7

When the ink is dry, die-cut the main panel using a stitched rectangle die and die-cut ‘hello’ from white cardstock. Swipe the inkpads onto white cardstock, then cut a panel to back the sentiment with and matt together.

8

Add to the card front using 3D foam pads as shown, then add gems and use Stardust pens to add a faux-stitched border to finish.
