Step 2:
Stamp the worm image over the card
base front in a random pattern using
Green Galore ink.

gingham ribbon at 2
inches long each.

Step 5:
Apply a small bit of adhesive in the
middle of each ribbon.
Step 6:
Fold the ribbons in half to form a “V” shape, pressing
down on the adhesive to hold the fold together.
Step 7:
Stamp the greeting from the
Bugs & Kisses set on the far end
of the piece of Real Red
cardstock with Basic Black ink.

Step 8:
Apply three bits of adhesive
along the edge of the Real Red
cardstock, underneath the
greeting. Apply your adhesive
roughly ½ inch apart.
Step 9:
Adhere the folded ribbons, folded side
up, on the bits of adhesive.
Step 10:
Staple the ribbons onto the
cardstock, right below the
folds.

Step 11:
Trim the ends of the ribbon on an
angle.
Step 12:
Mount the strip of Real Red
cardstock across the middle of
the Green Galore card base.
Step 13:
Ink up the worm image with
Glorious Green ink and hold it
one hand. Use an embossing
gun in the other hand to heat up
a small area of a sheet of green
foam.

Step 14:
While the foam is still hot, stamp the foam
with the worm image and hold the stamp
down for about 3 to 5 seconds to set the
image.
If you find that the foam is curling while
you’re heating it (which is normal), you can
hold down the edges with heavy objects like
other stamp images, scissors, etc.
Step 15:
When the images are cool, use a pair of
scissors to trim around the images,
leaving a small border of unstamped
foam.
Make sure not to touch the stamped
images, as the ink can smudge off.
Step 16:
Cut a piece of Orchid
Opulence cardstock at
2 ¾ inches.
Cut a piece of
Brilliant Blue
cardstock at 3 ½
inches.

Step 17:

of the Brilliant Blue cardstock.
Step 18:
Mount the Orchid/Blue cardstock
on top of the card front, over the
Real Red strip.
Step 19:
Apply pop-dots to the backs of the foam worm
images.
