Christmas in July Day 3

 Hi friends! Today is Day 3 in Christmas in July. I am making a shaped card using an SVG. I am using a Silhouette Cameo and Silhouette Studio. You can use whatever resources you have. 

 

1. Load the design into the design software.
2. Draw a rectangle the size of the card you would like. I prefer A2 cards so I drew a rectangle 4.25 x 5.5 inches. 
3. Group all the pieces of the design together and size them to fit inside that rectangle. Move the rectangle aside.
4. Using the trace tool, Trace the design. You only want the outside border. Duplicate this outline. This two pieces are your cards base. 
5. Ungroup the design and cut each piece in your choice of papers, including the traced pieces.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. Score one of the card pieces about an inch from the top. Add glue to the paper above the scored line and adhere the other card piece to it. Now you have a card base.
7. Piece together an adhere all the pieces of the gnome to the front of the card base.
8. Use a white marker or pen, add some embellishments.
   
   
   
9. Add a sentiment or message on the inside.
