Create-in-Quads: Poster Print Foiled Cards Instructions

1. Stencil the Create-in-Quad

• Tape an 8.5 x 11 in. piece of Sugar Cube cardstock to your work surface.
• Align and secure Layer 1 of the Poster Print stencil.
• Blend Gumdrop ink through the stencil using a blending brush.
• Remove Layer 1 and align Layer 2. Blend with Guava ink.
• Remove Layer 2 and align Layer 3. Blend with Sweet Corn ink.
• Remove Layer 3 and align Layer 4. For extra hold, lightly mist with Pixie Spray if desired.
• Use a palette knife to apply Glitter Grab through Layer 4, then smooth with the TE Stencil Scraper.
• Carefully remove and clean the stencil.
• Allow the Glitter Grab to dry completely until clear (about 1 hour, depending on application).

2. Trim & Foil

• Trim the stenciled sheet into four A2-sized panels:
  • Cut at 4.25” on the short side, then cut each half at 5.5”.
  • Trim ¼” off each of the remaining two edges of all four panels.
• Cut two pieces of Champagne Fun Foil and two pieces of Gold Shimmer Fun Foil to fit the four panels.
• Place each panel on the TE Foiling Shim with foil (color side up), sandwich inside the Minc Carrier, and run through the Minc machine set to 3.
• Let cool slightly, then peel to reveal the shine!

• Die cut with the coordinating dies.

4. Assemble the Cards

• Cut:
  • Two A2-sized panels from Guava cardstock
  • Two A2-sized panels from Sweet Corn cardstock
  • Four Sugar Cube card bases
• Attach the Guava and Sweet Corn panels each to a Sugar Cube card base.
• Use foam tape to attach the foiled panels centered on each card.
• Use foam tape again to pop up the sentiments on each panel.
• Finish off each card with a few Sugar Cube Enamel Dots around the sentiment for a polished look.
