Well, I know I promised the directions for this card ages ago, but hey, better late than never, right?
Here are the dimensions for the card stock:
Neutral Card Stock - 4 pieces cut to 1 7/8" x 1 7/8"
Black Card Stock - 4 pieces cut to 2" x2", 1 piece cut to 3/4" x 4 1/4", and 1 piece cut to 9" x 2"
Red Card Stock - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
*Note* You can use whatever colors you want to, I am just labeling them with the colors I used so you can compare to the picture :)
Score the largest piece of black card stock at 2", 2 3/4", 3 1/2" and 4 1/4" and fold on the score lines.
Stamp images on your 1 7/8" square pieces (I used the Sock Monkey and S.M. Accessories sets. Sports sets also are very cute). Then layer on the 2" square pieces.
Attach the 2" square pieces to the large scored black piece starting with the bottom image on the part of the piece that is scored to a 2" square. Be sure to use Sticky Strip when you adhere these pieces or they may fall off when the card is pulled a lot. Continue attaching the tops of the 2" squares to the small scored parts.
Now attach the 3/4" x 4 1/4" piece of black card stock to your card using only brads or eyelets. Do not use adhesive in the middle or your card will not work.
Now attach the long scored black piece to the 3/4" x 4 1/4" pice using sticky strip. You will put the adhesive on the bottom back of the lowest image.
Now all that's left is to add an eyelet to the bottom of the pull part and tie some ribbon through it.
I know these instructions sound very confusing but if you walk through while looking at the picturesw it is actually surprisingly easy. These cards are so impressive and people just love to receive them. Be sure to show me if you make one of your own, I love to see your work!! Happy Stamping!
