Hi there!!  It's me...Karen, and today I am going to share how to make a quick & simple "5 step card" featuring Kokeshi designer papers & stickers, and Spellbinder Blossom Tags & Accents...all of which are designed by Samantha Walker!!


So, let's get started...


Directions -
a. For the card base, cut red cardstock 5"W x 10"L.  Fold in 1/2.  
b. Cut Kokeshi Bamboo DP (beige side) 4.5"W x 4.5"L.  
c. Cut Kokeshi Bamboo DP (black black) 4.5"W x 2"L. 
d. Die cut the Blossom die using the Kokeshi Stripe DP (green side).
e. Assemble/cluster your Kokeshi stickers as shown in above photo. 
Adhere all elements to your card.  I added some machine stitching, 
distress inking, hemp cord, rhinestones, and pop dots.

Everyone's personal experience with various products may be different, as we all use things in different ways. I am not compensated for these remarks, and merely pass on my opinion to you as a reader. I hope you find my opinions valuable.
