Part 1: The Card Construction
1.) Print out both sides of the
template on photo quality paper. Let them
dry well. Drying overnight sandwiched between
clean, plain paper with a book on top will help to
prevent smudging.
2.) Spray glue the blank side of
the front template printout. Place the glued side
onto a sheet of cardstock carefully, making sure
not to get air bubbles or wrinkles. Place a clean
sheet of paper over the printed side and rub to
ensure a good bond. Let dry well.
3.) Using a sharp hobby knife and
metal ruler, cut two adjoining sides. The right and
bottom sides would be best because they are
straight cuts.
4.) Cut the corresponding sides
of the back template printout. Spray glue the blank
side. Line up cut sides on both templates and
follow the same instructions as in step B.
5.) Carefully use the hobby
knife, ruler, and scissors to cut the rest of the
card. If there is some chipping on the cut edges
use a black marker to blacken dark sections.
Part 2: Attaching Bubble to
Card
1.) If you're using a bubble
pulled from a card, you must remove the paper. Soak
the bubble in some water and rub the paper off with
your finger.
2.) Any ink residue left can be
removed with thinner, or lightly scraping with a
hobby knife.
3.) Clean and dry the bubble.
Apply tacky glue along edges. Spread glue with
finger. Do not apply too much, it's not
necessary.
4.) Place the figure on the card
where it will be when the bubble is glued on (in
the tray if you're using one). Place the bubble
onto the card. You should not slide the bubble
around after the glue has touched the card. Press
the edge down all the way around. Let dry well.
