July SOTM: 12" × 12" Live the Sweet Life Page

Helpful Hints

To create the techniques featured in this artwork, follow the helpful hints outlined below. Then use the Make It from the Heart®: Pattern 16—Left information found on page 36 of our how-to publication for inspiration.

To create the striped design on the base page, use the bone folder to create evenly spaced vertical lines across the entire page; lightly sponge lines to add visual interest.
When cutting pieces A and D, use White Daisy cardstock and then attach a strip of washi tape to the cardstock. This allows the circles of the washi tape to pop off the cardstock.
Embellish with stamped accents, paper accents, and accessories, adding dimension with 3-D foam tape as desired.
