INSTRUCTIONS
- Emboss one piece of Crumb Cake CS with the Woodland TIEF.
- Attach the long piece of DSP to the bottom of the card. Use Tear & Tape Adhesive to attach Burlap Ribbon along the joint and secure ends behind Sahara Sand Cardstock.
- Attach to Card Base.
- Attach the two squares together to make an 8-pointed star (see photo).
- At the top right-hand corner attach a square of DSP leaving a small margin of cardstock showing around the edges, only putting adhesive on the right-hand side so the left lifts a bit.
- Attach the next six square pieces of DSP in alternating design in a clockwise direction aligning the corners up with the cardstock points but leaving a small margin.
- Attach the final DSP square, it will slip under the first piece when you put it on. This is the reason the left side of the first piece was not adhered. Tip! Place the piece in place first to check the fit. It may need a slight trim to fit and leave a margin of cardstock showing.
- Punch a 1/2″ hole in the square scrap piece of cardstock as near to the middle as you can.
- Put the circle dimensional in the centre of your penny or ten cent piece.
- Place the punched piece of cardstock over the dimensional and attach the other penny/ten cent piece to the other side of the dimensional.
- Place 4 dimensionals at the corners on one side. Depending on the thickness of your non-SU dimensional you may have to double them.
- Apply Tear and Tape to coin on side without dimensionals. Attach the piece to the middle underside of your pinwheel.
- The dimensional side of the pinwheel attaches to the front of your card. It will now spin.
- Stamp greeting on inside piece of Sahara Sand CS if using. Attach to inside of card.
