Large "stamp" punch

Kreinik #12 Braid Finishing Touches: Red assortment

Steps:

Punch a "stamp" shape out of one of your sheets of textured cardstock. Set the punched out shape aside. Carefully cut around the punched hole in your paper so that you have a square frame. Repeat process with your second color of cardstock.
To make the first design, cut a square from your black paper the same size as your frame. Attach frame to the black square. Cut a small square from one of the printed papers.
Cut a square piece of your Treasure Tape and apply it to the center of your framed square. Peel back the liner and center the printed square on it.
With Kreinik metallic braid, make a wavy border around the printed square, pressing the thread into the tape as you go.
Put your square in a tray or baggie. Pour beadlets over the taped area. Swirl with your fingers to cover fully. Tape to remove excess beadlets, and your square is ready to go on a card, or any where you need a little pizzazz!
To make the other designs shown here, mount one of the punched-out stamp shapes on an angle inside the other frame. Mount a smaller square of black paper in the center.
Cut a small piece of your Treasure Tape and cut it into a heart shape. Place it in the center of your black square.
Peel back the liner and decorate with Kreinik braids. Finish as above.
