- Cut 1/2” x 6 1/2” and 1/2” x 2” strips of the multi-colored striped paper. Arrange shorter strip at the top of the pink polka-dot paper and the longer strip at the bottom, glue into place. Use image for placement.
- Using a hole punch, create three circles out of the multi-colored striped paper. Place circles next to the shorter strip.
- Cut a 1 1/2” x 2” rectangle from the striped paper. Stamp with “find joy in the little things.” Glue to an olive green tag and embellish tag with a light blue grosgrain ribbon and a pink rhinestone brad. Affix to the top corner of the design layout.
- Stamp a piece of pink card stock with the “Bubble Queen”stamp. Using colored pencils lightly color the stamped image. Cut around the perimeter of the stamp leaving a 1/4” border. Glue pink stamped paper on top of olive green card stock and glue. Cut around the perimeter of the pink leaving about a 1/4” border. Angle and glue to the bottom of the design layout.
- Stamp or free-hand the words “Spa Day Fund” on the pink polka-dotted paper.
- Finish the front by stamping a flower in the upper left and lower right hand corners of the design layout.
- Finish by embellishing with punched flowers and rhinestone brads.
Sides and Top:
- Cut two 10” x 1 3/4” strips (side panels) from the pink flower paper and two 2 1/2” x 1 3/4” strips (top panel) from the multi-colored striped paper. These will act as the side and top panels for the bank.
- Cut one 7 3/4” x 1 3/4” strip of aqua card stock and one 7 3/4” x 1 3/4” strip of olive green card stock. Place smaller strips on top of the larger strips and glue into place. Embellish with punched flowers and brads.
- Use foam 3D blocks to add dimension to the flowers.
Mounting Panels:
- Cover crafting area with newspaper. When working with spray adhesive make sure the area is well ventilated.
- Place the KraftyBlok™ on top of newspaper with stopper-top opening facing up.
- Using spray adhesive spray the back of the front panel. Place front panel on the face of the KaftyBlok™, press gently to secure.
- Spray the backs of the top and side panels in the same fashion and press into place
Note:
- Cut, embellish & lay out your design on your work surface first. Once you are happy with your design, adhere together, and then glue all panels to your KraftyBlok™.
