 |
| Use the
tent template provided to cut out the curtain panel
from AG1086 Blue Circus. Adhere it to the background
sheet AG1083. |
|
|
|
|
For the
top of the tent, cut a 4 1/2" x 12" piece
of AG1084 Blue Harlequin. Make sure the diamonds
are pointing down. Cut out in between each diamond
along the bottom of the long side of the paper. |
 |
 |
[Rather than the
following, use
the tent template
to cut the top.
It is easier and more accurate.] Measure
and mark 1 3/4" down
from each of the
top corners. Measure
and mark the top
center of the paper.
Cut from the
top center to
the marks on
either side of
the paper to
make the sloping
top of the big
top tent. Adhere
to the page in
place. |

|
|
|
|
Cut a 1 1/2" x 4" piece
of ivory cardstock for journaling. Mat it with a
1 3/4" x 4 1/4" piece of AG1084 Blue Harlequin.
Adhere centered under photo mat.
Done!

as shown, on
either side of the center AG1086 Blue Circus strip
and on the inside of the outer strips.

mats of AG1084
Blue Harlequin and adhere them in place. |
|

Cut a 7" x 10" piece of
ivory cardstock. Score and fold it to make a 7" x
5" card.
Cut a 4" x 11" strip of
AG1083 Red Dots. Cut a 5" x 11" strip of
AG1086 Blue Circus and adhere it under the 4" strip.
Wrap these pieces around the closed card and adhere
in the back. |
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
| Cut a 11" long piece
of ribbon. Wrap
around the center of the band around the card and
adhere it on the back. |
 |
[Our Anna Griffin designer
does not give
instructions
for the additional
paper that goes
beyond the front
right edge of
the card. You could either cut it off, or fold
it as I did here. First fold the ribbon around
the end of the
paper strips
and adhere to
the back. Second, fold
the strip around
the right edge
of the card and
adhere to the
inside of the
front flap.] |
|
|
|
|
 |
Adhere the die cut to
the front of the card band using foam adhesive. |
 |
 |
Use more foam adhesive to adhere
the detail of the tent to the main image.
Done! |
