INSTRUCTIONS

1. For Red card base, cut RED cardstock into half (8-1/2" x 5-1/2") and fold in half to make 4-1/4" x 5-1/2' card. Cut another piece of RED into a 2-1/8" square. Set both aside.
2. Cut BLACK cardstock into a 3-3/4' x 5" piece and a 1-7/8" square.  Set both aside.
3. Cut WHITE cardstock into 4-1/2" x 5-1/2" piece (a quarter of a sheet) and stamp with Oriental Fan Background stamp using red pigment ink.  When dry, trim piece to 3-1/4" x 4-1/2".   Wrap this piece with black ribbon (see photo for placement) and secure in back with tape.
4. Cut another piece of WHITE cardstock into a 1-3/8" square.  Stamp this piece with the Fortune Chop rubber stamp in red pigment ink.  Heat emboss with clear embossing powder.  Punch all corners with double-notch punch. Set aside.
5. Adhere all pieces with double sided tape, layering pieces as shown by card photo or as follows:  Red card base, large black piece, Oriental Fan piece (already wrapped with ribbon), small red piece, small black piece, and small white piece (stamped with Fortune Chop).
6. For dark cards, I always line the inside of the card with white paper so that I can write my message. To do this, cut copy paper to 5" x 8".  Fold in half and secure to inside of card with 2 small pieces of tape.
