and i wanted to show you how i curve these strips you can see here that i already have kind of an s curve in here i start with a strip of cardstock and here i've already got it angled but as it turned out once i attached them to the card i trimmed them again so in your instructions that part is last but i just grab my piece and i curl one way see how everything already bends this way and then i turn it and just curl it the other and that's how you get the s shape you can do it more or less pronounced depending on how much curvature you want on your card and that's the secret curl one way and then the other way and you have your s and then when you attach it you will put a glue dot underneath here and you can even curl this one back up so that you don't lose the shape so you put one right here one underneath here and you trim wherever you would like and if you want to add some extra text tension once you put this one on you can even move your glue dot over here a little bit okay so that's the secret behind this card this card cannot be nailed but it is perfect to hand deliver or use for display on your july 4th buffet if you enjoyed this tip i hope you consider joining my spunky stampers and sock my spunky online card club where i get to teach you card making on rubber stamping techniques every month using two cards and with the new membership upgrade if you sign up right now you will get the june videos and then on the fifth the july videos but you have to sign up before the fifth of the month to be able to do that so this is tanya weir with spunky cards remember every day is a great day to make spunky cards and i would love to see you inside
