Measurements:
Sentiment panel before the border – 2” wide, long thin panel – 1” wide.
-All edges are ink distressed. A straight up and down motion is used on the designer papers. A drag across the edge from off the paper is used for the cardstock edges.
-The hinge is black embossed on white cardstock, ink distressed. I punched two 1/16” circles and glued them together to the card to look nail heads. I inked them up with the VersaMark embossing pen heat embossed with clear powder; this also helps attach them to the card permanently. Looks nice too!
I use a straight pen as a tool with a little tacky glue and itÂ’s easy to handle them.
-Paper piercing is done with the Stampin Up mat pack. I also used their ticket punch.
