Instructions  

Creating the Background:
(1)
Assemble a small section of jigsaw puzzle.

(2) Ink the puzzle pieces with Big & Bossy Two Tone Embossing Ink Pad, using the clear embossing ink side of the pad and a piece of Cut n’ Dry Foam to apply the ink.

(3) Cover inked puzzle pieces with clear UTEE. Note: be sure to pour over an embossing tray or clean sheet of paper so the excess UTEE can be returned to container. Tap off excess powder.

(4) Set puzzle pieces onto non-stick craft sheet and emboss with heat tool until UTEE is melted.

(5) While the piece is still hot, sprinkle another layer of UTEE and heat.

(6) Repeat this process until you have 3-4 layers of UTEE built up onto the section of puzzle pieces. Let cool.

(7) Punch three holes in the bottom of the piece and set eyelets through the holes.

(8) Tie ribbons through the eyelets.

(9) Mount UTEE puzzle piece onto a 2-1/4” x 4-3/4” rectangle of yellow patterned paper edged with Walnut Stain and Aged Mahogany Distress Inks. Use a strong double-stick tape.

(10)
Mount onto 4” x 6” rectangle of Paisley patterned paper inked with Walnut Stain and Aged Mahogany Distress Inks.

(11) Add three antique gold tacks to the left of the UTEE piece.

(12) Attach fabric “thank you” label with double-stick tape to the left of the tacks.

(13) Mount with foam tape onto a 4-1/2” x 6-1/2” rectangle of Burgundy cardstock, edges inked with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.

(14) Adhere onto 5” x 7” Yellow Cardstock card with the edges inked with Walnut Stain and Aged Mahogany Distress Inks to complete.
