How To:

1. Cut Pink Pirouette cardstock to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (which will produce two equal halves),

2. Fold cardstock to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2",

3. Insert one side, which will be your front, into the Polka Dot embossing folder. It should fit snugly up to the seam of the folder,

4. Run through Big Shot according to sandwich instructions for embossing folders,

5. Cut patterned Designer Series Paper to 3 3/4" x 5", round corners with punch,

6. Punch one of each Bitty shape out of other colors of same Designer Series paper pack,

7. Cut Whisper White paper to any size, you can also use scrap so long as the carriage image will fit with some border space, hou will also need scrap white to use for masking technique

8. Refer to the video for the masking portion. Staz On Black was used for all stamping of the images. Use your paper snips carefully as they are VERY sharp. My apologies as this is my first video I've ever made using a handheld Flip recorder, showed up clear on my recorder but unfortunately very blurry here, but my directions are pretty clear. Sorry!

9. Color the carriage images using what you wish, I used a unidirectional stroke technique with the thin tip of the Stampin Write markers.

10. Trim the image to suitable size and round the corners with the punch,

11. Adhere the completed carriage image,

12. Adhere punched out paper to buttons, then buttons to the card with Mini Glue Dots,

13.. Ink Baby Tees on Pink Pirouette stamp pad and roll onto interior of card,

14. Stamp the sentiment that comes with the set in Staz On Black onto interior of card.
