it’s THURSDAY with SANDIEBELLA!

Stamp Bundle Girl at the Pumpkin Patch onto white card and colour using your preferred medium.

Cut out using a stitched circle die and, leaving the die in place, colour grass and the sky.

Set aside to work on the card base.

Keeping the sides folded in, score from the 2? mark diagonally to the 2.75″ mark. Repeat for all four corners.

Fold the diagonal lines back and forth to loosen the paper. Do not use a bone folder as this will break the paper down too much.

Pinch in at the 2-5/8″ score lines and fold the end inwards to make a triangle on the end. Repeat on the other side.

Centre the explosion mechanism on the inside middle section of the card base. Do not use adhesive.

Apply adhesive to one of the triangles and then fold the outer section of the gatefold in. Repeat on the other side.

When both sides are pulled open again the explosion mechanism opens.

Apply double sided tape to one side of the gatefold. Apply another strip of adhesive to the left side of the front panel. Adhere the panel to the front.

Cut a 1.5″ strip of strip of A4 card, on the long side. Centre it across the front of the card base and fold each end around to the back. They should overlap about 0.5″.

Apply adhesive to the ends of the belly band and adhere to make the band. Cut two pieces of paper measuring 1-3/8″ x 5.5″ and adhere to the front and back of the band.

Retrieve the image and lay it centered on the band. Lift each end and a make a pencil mark. Apply adhesive inside the pencil marks and adhere the image panel to the band. Slip the band on the card to ensure a good fit.
