You can use the sheets in this pad individually to create toppers if you're making cards in bulk to sell for charity or working with groups, or you can use them to create your own decoupage. If you've never tried it before, it's super easy, just follow my instructions. If you're an experienced, cardmaker, ignore the instructions!
To create decoupage pieces for the three Pine Martins, remove 4 sheets of the same design.
Set one sheet aside, untouched - this is your base layer.
With the next sheet, cut round the outline of the the 3 Pine Martins so that you have an image of of them together, without any background. You could call this layer 2.
Take the 3rd sheet, cut round the two small Pine Martins, still attached together (layer 3)
From the 4th sheet, cut round the the little Pine Martin on the right. You will see that his head is slightly in front of the other one.
Take Layer 2, lay it face down in your palm and rub the finger of your other hand behind each face to create a circular 'dip'. Do the same thing with the Layers 3 and 4.
Using foam pads, (or silicone/dimensional glue) and, beginning with the the largest piece and ending with the smallest, adhere them on top of each other so that the images lay perfectly on top of the piece below.
Stick the decoupage you've just created onto the base layer.
Mount the whole thing onto a piece of co-ordinating card slightly bigger that A6 (gold or ivory) and there you have your completed decoupage topper. These instructions work for all of the other designs, too.

Why am I selling?
I have a lot of craft supplies. I used to teach cardmaking workshops for free to people with disabilities in community centres at the weekends and I also made cardmaking kits to sell. Due to ill-health (I have M.E, arthritis, PTSD, diabetes and other medical problems) I am no longer able to continue teaching as I once did. Now, I only do occasional free workshops for the residents at the local retirement village and I make cards to sell at church. I gave up my home to share a house with my son and family who have become my carers. Space is very limited, and many of my craft supplies have to go. I haven't been well enough to sort through the boxes and list things until recently but when I have the energy I will be putting together more bundles of various cardmaking items including stamps, dies, papers, embellishments, ribbon, lace, buttons, stickers etc, so even if you don't want this item, please save me as a favourite seller and revisit from time to time to check out my latest listings. There will be some great bargains!
All of my items are from a smoke free, pet free home.
