Instructions:
1. To prepare the bear motif from the paper napkin, you must first brush an even coat of paper napkin applique glue onto a piece of white cardstock that is larger than the motif itself. The cardstock may curl up while drying. This is normal and it will get flatter again.
2. Remove all but the top printed layer of your paper napkin and discard the rest. Place the paper napkin motif onto the dried cardstock. Place a piece of baking paper over the motif and then iron the paper napkin onto the cardstock. Once it has cooled down, cut the motif exactly out. Place 3-D foam tape on the backside of the motif and set aside for a minute.
3. Cut a 9.5 x 9.5 cm square out of red cardstock. Cut a 9x9 cm square of white cardstock. Emboss the white square and then adhere it centered onto the red square. Adhere the squares then centered onto the card.
4. Remove the paper backing of the 3-D foam tape on the back of the motif and then adhere it to the card.
5. Stick your sentiment over the bear motif.
