Supplies from The Paper Mill Store:
Other Supplies:
- Fundamentals 1 SD card & Jen Allyson Designs SD Card
- Pattered Paper
- Damask Stamp
- Pearlescent Rust Ink by Archival
- Lavender Dye Ink Pad by Stampabilities
Instructions:
- Turn on your eCraft, insert your Jen Allyson’s SD Card and set on Front mode with 1&1 tabs, blade pressure of 4 ½. Insert your plum, eCraft Diecutable card stock to cut. Select the Vintage frame on Jen Allyson’s SD card and set to cut on a size of 9 ½. Inches, send to cut. Once your frame is cut, set aside.
- To cut you accent butterflies, insert your Fundamental’s 1 SD card and select the butterfly from the Nature category, and send to cut on a size of 2 ½ in. Repeat this step with your red cardstock only this time cut your butterfly 2 inches. Do the same with the patterned paper, and cut the last butterfly on 1 ½ inches. Glue the butterflies together (using a glue stick to the middle of the image) and stack from largest to smallest. Set aside.
- Open Windows Word program and type the details of the menu card. To print, set the size to a 5 x7 and print on white cardstock.
- Take the printed paper, and stamp around the words. Using the negative from the frame, place on top of the printed words and use as a guide to cut around the words in an oval shape. TIP: Be sure to use an exacto knife to get clean edges, and leave some extra space around the image to glue behind the frame.
- Assemble your pieces. Glue the menu oval (words) behind the plum frame, then flip over and place a glue dot on the corner of your frame and place the butterflies on for a 3D effect.
