use the blender pen to blend the color.

e. Stamp a
greeting on the small white piece (3/4 x 2 ¼) I did Happy Birthday, attach this
to the bar piece
f. Assemble
the card by first adhering the designer paper to the 3 panels (I went from
light to dark left to right)
g. Attach
the grass to the back of the “bar”
h. Glue the
end of the bar to the right edge of the card, putting glue on the end part of
the bar.
i. Press
the bar in place and glue the first part to the front of the card.

3. When
making this Zee Fold card for the 2nd time, make your own designer
background paper with a sponging technique.
Dimensions for the Zee Fold
Base is 4 ¼ x 11, scored at 2 ¾ and 5 ½; the
bar piece is 1” by 11” score at 5 ½ and 8 ¼
Designer paper is 2 ½ x 4 (2 of these) and 5 ¼
x 4.
You need a ¼ sheet of whisper white for the
stamping
Greeting is ¾ x 2 ¼
4. The
Polaroid card
a. Stamp
the dock, grass, bird and fish in Early Espresso (or Black or Grey)
b. Cut your
sponge into half then again into 3 pieces, total 6 sponges
c. Dip your
sponge onto the ink pad and IMPORTANT dab the sponge 2-3 times on scrap paper
to take some of the color off. Now swirl it onto the stamped image. Add color
slowly.
d. Add more
color with your pencils and then use your blender pen to blend
e. Attach
this piece (3 ½ x 3 ½) to a solid background 3 5/8 x 3 5/8
f. Stamp
the front right of the card.
g. Attach
the stamped image to the front of your card, add twine if you wish.
5. The
Summer Lantern.

your stamped images on your vellum is dry! Vellum is cut 4 ¼ x 10 ½, scored at
2 ½, 5, 7 ½ and 10.
b. Color in
the images with the pencils and blender pen if you wish.
c. Remove
the tab that is ½ x 1 (bottom right corner)
d. Cut the
“tabs” at the bottom
e. Add the
tear n tape to the side
f. Fold and
burnish the folds
g. Make

h. Yes
there is a hole in the bottom of the lantern! You add a piece of glimmer paper
to the base and it covers the hole and adds stability, add a tea light.
I love you projects very much, especially the handbag :)
