Here's what you do: 
Stamp image on smooth white card stock in black ink.


Tip: When coloring an image for the first time, stamp it multiple times on your card stock. Use the extra images to practice coloring and to try out different color combos to find your favorite ones for the image.

Color your stamped image and cut the image out so that it is approximately 2 ½” x 4 ¼”.

Stamp sentiment next to image.

Cut out your card base so that it measures to 5 ½”x 8 ½”. Fold in half.

Cut background patterned paper to 4” x 5 ¼”. Center and attach it to your card base using the Permanent GlueTape.


Cut patterned paper strip to 5 ¼” x 1 ¾”. Attach to base with Permanent GlueTape.

Cut a piece of solid colored card stock to 2 ¾” x 4 ½”. Attach to your ready-made base with Pop Up Dots.


Attach your stamped and colored image to the top of the solid color base piece with Permanent GlueTape.

Using Pop-Up Dots adds dimension to your card, without adding any extra postage for mailing it!
