The Tutorial

Die cut your pieces first.  This would be the tag for the front of the card, and the clock and leaf embellishments.

Trim 2 pieces of Botanical Tea – 4 1/8 x 3 7/8

Then cut 1 piece of white card stock – 3 7/8 x 3 1/2

Trim 1 piece of white card stock – 5 x 9.  Position it horizontally on your score board and score at 4 1/2

Once you’ve folded your card base (the piece in the picture above), you are now ready to position your square tag die to create your card. Run it through your die-cutting machine as you see here.

Apply glue to the tag and adhere to the front of card base.

If you like, you can add  piece of satin ribbon to the bottom third of your card.

And now you’re ready to add your inside mats.

Apply your clock die and embellishments to the front of the card.

Use your 3D pop dots to adhere the face of the clock.

Use a hot glue gun or glue to adhere a Graphic 45 Rose on the middle of the clock face.

And that is pretty much it!

I hope that you found this Graphic 45 Card Tutorial helpful and that it inspires you to make some of your very own! Happy Crafting!
