How To

First I cut the shape with the cutting die “Sewn rectangles” using the largest one available.

Subsequently, I applied the embossing folder “Stone wall” on the rectangular shape, leaving part of the cardboard outside the empossing folder to leave it intact.

Once the molds were colored, I cut them with the matching cutting dies. Then I printed the writing taken from the stamp of “Hero arts” in the embossed cardboard area left intact.

In the final stage it remains to glue the background with the stone wall, and put the colorful characters using the 3D foam tape.

I completed the postcard with a round stamp on the back saying “Handmade with ”.
