Wondering where the Globe Ornament is? It’s diecut from scrap cardboard, then covered with three strips of Scor-Tape. Diecut the Andover Ornament – leave the pieces in the die. Press the Globe Ornament diecut (with the adhesive strips) onto the back of the Andover Ornament while it’s still in the die - then all of the pieces will be aligned, attached and ready for stamping, and the (hidden) Globe Ornament adds a bit of dimension.
Ink the Jack O Lantern Faces with Onyx Black, then attach Post-It Notes to cover the two side faces and the surrounding areas, then stamp the center face. That’s a lot easier than stamping it first, then trying to reassemble it and align the stamped pieces. Trust me, I've tried that!
Complete supply lists and directions for today’s card - and many more – are in the Ideas Gallery. The googly eyes are from Impress.
