Instructions
1. The bunting pieces are longer then the mat, in your software slice off the two end pieces, you don’t have to be precise you can trim any excess when you place it on the card. You can also rotate it diagonal and cut and trim after.
2. Now cut the rest of your card shapes and assemble.
3. The wagon hangs off the card and needs to be trimmed.
4. For the bag cut and follow the PDF directions.
5. Mary has a video that shows how the rosette goes together.
6. Layer the rest of the rosette and glue on the front of the bag.
Design Tips
- I lightly inked the top pieces of the picket fence to give it some dimension.
- You can use two pop dots together to make some pieces stick up more.
- I stick to one paper collection when working on a project.
- To match some solid colors when working with digital pattern paper I use the select color tool.
This picket fence card looks great decorated for every season, fall pumpkins, Christmas holly and spring flowers so many possibilities. I could see the star bag embellished for Halloween maybe with a witch peeking out, whatever you come up with have fun!
