Step 1:

Score the piece of 4 x 11 card stock at the 5 ½ mark. Turn paper over, move left edge of paper to align with the 1/4” mark. Score at 6 1/2” (This is a 6 1/4” score). Pre-Fold the card. Remember the score line is to the outside of the fold.

 

 

Step 2:

Using the Cuttlebug and folder, emboss the right side of the card right below the 6 ¼ inch score.

 

Step 3:

Stamp image on white card stock and color as desired.  I used chalks and sprayed with a fixative. Cut out the image.

 

Step 4:

Matte the 3 ¼ x 3 ¼ piece of designer paper with the 3 ½ x 3 ½ piece of card stock.  Cut out and glue stamped image to the designer paper. Refer to photo.

Step 5:

Set heart eyelets in card, through one layer, above the 6 ¼ inch score.

 

Step 6:

Stamp the vellum as desired (I stamped hearts in pink ink on the sample). Score the length of the vellum at every ½ inch.

 

 Diana: I used cardstock weight vellum. Use the right side of the Scor-Pal and score at 8 ½”, 9 ½”, 10 ½” and 11 ½”. Turn the paper over, top to bottom. Score at 9”, 10” and 11”. Because of the nature of the vellum the accordion will appear apparent. Fold with this in mind.

Step 7:

Accordion fold the vellum and punch a hole through all folds approximately ½ inch from the top edge.

Tip:  Loosely place the vellum shower curtain on the card before punching the hole.

Step 8:

On the inside of the card, between the eyelets, apply Scor-Tape™.

 

Step 9:

Thread the silver cording through the eyelets on the front of the card and through the hole in the vellum shower curtain. Remove covering from middle piece of Scor-Tape™. Adhere the cording loose ends to the back of the card to the exposed adhesive.

Step 10:

Peel the backing off the remaining tape and fold the card closed.

Step 11:

Glue the stamped image piece to the card front being careful of placement with respect to the suspended vellum shower curtain. Embellish card with the sentiment, button, and stickles.
