Directions:
Using your Owl Punch you are going to punch the two top holes (middle sized ones) into
Always artichoke paper. Using your ½” circle punch, punch around the outside. You will need
to do this twice.

Now punch out (5) - ½” circles for each button, so 10 total.

Using your two-way glue pen stack them one on top of another like shown.

Using your paper piercing tool, make the holes in the top to look like buttons. Put these on wax
paper or freezer paper and cover them with Crystal Effects. Make sure you get the edges also.
This will take about 30 min to dry. Once they are dry, re-poke the holes in the top through the
crystal effects.

Print out postage stamp template on plain printer paper and also on whisper white cardstock.
Using a craft knife, cut out the center rectangle of the postage stamp image on the scrap paper
making sure to leave some white on the edges like shown.

Line this up with the cardstock on the bottom that you printed the postage stamp images on.

Ink your Just believe stamp with your markers and stamp in onto the center of the cut out space.

Using your sponge and the Crumb Cake ink, sponge around the edges over the cut out template.
It should now look like the image on the right hand side when you lift up the scrap paper.

Using scissors with a decorative edge you can cut around the outside to make the postage stamp
image. If you do not have scissors like this you can cut straight lines and use a small circle
punch to make the half circles around the edge. You can also use a paper piercing tool to poke
holes where the black dots are to make it look more authentic.

To assemble the card I just used a standard 8 ½” x 5 ½” Crumb cake paper and folded it in half.
I ripped a small portion off the side of the front edge and sponged it with Crumb Cake Ink.
I cut a 2 ½” x 4 ½” Cherry cobbler paper and ripped the end at an angle and did the same to a 2
7/8” x 5 ¼” Always Artichoke paper. I put the postage stamp on top of those papers with
Dimensionals and put the buttons on with Tombow Adhesive.
Your card is all finished!
