Melissa’s Featured Card

Tips
- Create custom tags for birthday packaging or wrap by using the Love to Layer: Scalloped Ovals and the smaller Build-A-Party Hat dies.
- Add patterns to your tags or cards by selecting a stencil and creating a tone-on-tone look by stenciling in one shade darker than your base layer. I’ve stenciled my Mint Julep tag using Hawaiian Shores ink and the Playful Dots Stencil Collection.

INK: Pinefeather, Melon Berry, Summer Sunrise, Simply Chartreuse, Berry Sorbet, Hawaiian Shores

DIES: Build-A-Party Hat, Love to Layer: Scalloped Ovals

Tips
- The Build-A-Party Hat dies are perfect for using with assorted elements such as patterned paper, vellum, cardstock, cardboard, and felt.
- To add dimension to your party hat details, bend ends upward just as I’ve done here with the fringe across the bottom of the party hat and the flower petals.
