Hi everyone!
I’ve been trying to catch up on a few things while resting my (old) hip! It’s been complaining lately so decided this weekend to lay low–relax and catch up on rest as well as other things. This afternoon Rod and I watched two episodes of Downton Abbey while I made 18 crackers for Evan’s class. Just need to add a tag tomorrow and that will be done. Also got some Valentine cards in the mail to the granddarlin’s, great niece and nephew, and my sister.
I just realized that when I gave you the recipe for the cracker, I didn’t give you the instructions. So here they are!
 |
| If you use one of our paper stacks, the sheets are just the right size. (I should have turned this around so that you could easily see that you will score your paper at 1″, 2″, 3″, and 4″. |
 |
| Next, turn your paper and score at 1″, 1-1/2″, 2″, then at 4-1/2″, 5″, 5-1/2″. |
 |
| Wrong side |
 |
| Right side. After folding and using your bone folder to get a good crease it is important to fold the ends using the mountain, valley, mountain fold. (See diagram above.) This will ensure your cracker ends look right. |
 |
| Fold and punch on the envelope punch board at 1-1/2″ and then move paper to the end and punch at 5″. |
 |
| Do this for all folds and the edge shown here at the top. |
 |
| Sticky Strip goes where shown. |
 |
| Pull red line off Sticky Strip and place sides together. |
 |
| Add ribbon and there you have it! |
For written instructions, please refer to post dated January 22, 2015.
Happy stampin’,
