Instructions:

1. Cut a piece of the Malt cardstock 10” x 7” and score at 5” on the long side, fold in half and burnish with the bone folder.

2. Using the Travel the World die, cut 1 world and 1 ‘travel’ word in the Malt cardstock and cut 1 world from the Rain cardstock.

3. Use the Rain inserts (the pieces that fall out) and place them in the world. Use small pieces of double-sided tape to secure together on the back. Now you have land and water.

4. Cut a piece of the On An Adventure paper approx. 3 ¼” in from the left-hand side and ½” from the top. Trim as needed to fit on the front of the card. (approx. 4 ½” x 6 ½”) 

5. Using the sanding block, sand surface of the front and back of card base concentrating on edge borders. Use the distress tool to rough up the edges of the On An Adventure piece.

6. Using double-sided tape or liquid glue adhere the On An Adventure piece to the front of the card base leaving a regular border evenly all around.

7. Cut out one the clusters from the Make a Memory paper and distress the edges with the distress tool.

8. Choose a few elements from the Creative Cuts pack and trim any white borders to make them thinner.

9. Using a combination of liquid glue and foam dots/ tape layer the elements on the front of the card – use Main Photo as a guide.
