The instructions given are to make the blue and white card. If making the burgundy and ivory card simply substitute the card you are using when following the steps below.
Cut the Stardream Vista card to measure 297mm x 148mm and score down the centre using a scoring board to make a 148mm x 148mm square card. (If using the EaziScore this is the A4 half fold score line).
Cut a piece of the Smooth Bright White card to measure 134mm x 134mm. Place the card over the Anja's Edge die so that the top and bottom of the cutting edge just peeks out and the side cutting edge is close to the edge of the card.
If you are concerned that the die might move as it's run through the machine hold it in place with some low tack masking tape.
Run it through the die cutting machine using the plates appropriate for your machine to cut it. Change the plates to those you need for embossing thin dies and run it through again to emboss it.
Unsure of the correct "sandwich" for your machine? See our blog article on Using Cut and Emboss Dies in the Cuttlebug, Big Shot and Grand Calibur.
Using a corner rounder punch round the 2 corners of the white card on the opposite side to the Anja's edge. Attach centrally on the Stardream Vista card using photo glue.
Take the largest of the Marianne Creatables Petra's Oval die and, using a piece of the Stardream Vista card run through the die cutting once to cut it and then, changing plate, again to emboss it.
Using the second largest Petra's oval die and the white card run the card through the die cutting once to cut it and then, changing plate, again to emboss it.
Using the next die down in size in the Petra's oval set and the Stardream Vista card run the card through the die cutting once to cut it and then, changing plate, again to emboss it.
Using the Smooth Bright White paper punch and emboss 2 flowers using the Nellie's medium flower punch.
These 5 pieces - the 3 die cuts from the Petra's Oval set and the 2 punch flowers will make the topper for your card.
Using photo glue, glue the white Petra's oval die cut to the large blue one.
Position the small blue die cut in the centre of the white oval using 3D foam pads.
Arrange the 2 flowers so that the petals overlap and stick together with photo glue. Place in the centre of the small blue die cut using a Didi glue dot. Place a 5mm pearl in the centre of the flower.
Using 3D foam pads attach the topper to the card.
 We've slightly darkened this card so that you can see the embossing detail on the Anja's edge die and the Petra's oval.
