Birthday - Waxed Paper Resist

Materials:

• Blue cardstock
• Waxed Paper Resist background made from: Glossy Cardstock,Waxed Paper, Dotted embossing folder, and Distress inks (Worn Lipstick, Broken China, and Dusty Concord) - see tutorial here.
• White glimmer paper
• White cardstock
• M-bossabilities Imperial Folder
• Happy Birthday Die-cut (not sure where I got this - it was in my stash) & matching punched heart

 Method:

1. Cut a piece of blue cardstock that is 7" x 10".  Lay it horizontally and score a vertical line at 5" for your fold line.  This gives you a 5" x 7" card base.
2. Cut 6 more pieces
   of the blue cardstock - each 2" square.
3. Trim waxed paper resist background piece into 6 pieces that are each 1 3/4" square.
4. Mount the pieces from #3 above onto the pieces from #2 above, giving you 6 matted pieces.
5. Emboss the white glimmer paper with the M-bossabilities Imperial folder & trim to fit so the blue card forms a narrow frame around it. Glue in place on your card, then add your 6 matted pieces as shown.
6. Glue your die-cut sentiment to white cardstock and trim around it to form a mat. (This would have been much easier had I used my Silhouette!)  Do the same with your small punched heart.
7. Attach to card using foam tape for dimension.
