P retty birthday or congrats card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Magenta Madness Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" of mottled pinks design from Butterfly Bijou 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
- 3-3/4" x 5" from Blushing Bride Cardstock
- 5" x 6" from Basic White Cardstock
Pick out the interlocking bricks die from the Brilliant Wings Dies. Place the die horizontally on top of the horizontal Blushing Bride rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the left edge of the die is about 1/4" from the left edge of the cardstock and the bottom of the die is about 3/8" from the bottom of the cardstock. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. Throw the little rectangles away. Keep the die out.
Place the interlocking bricks die horizontally on top of the horizontal Blushing Bride rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine again so the left edge of the die fits into the right end of the previously cut out bricks. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. Throw the little rectangles away.
Mount the "it's your day! enjoy it" sentiment from the Happiest Of Birthdays Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Magenta Madness Ink Pad. Stamp it on the brick die cut horizontal Blushing Bride rectangle just above the bricks on the right side.
Adhere the die cut and stamped Blushing Bride rectangle to the center of the mottled pinks Butterfly Bijou Designer Paper rectangle.
Adhere the matted designer paper/cardstock rectangle to the front of the Magenta Madness card.
Mount the Butterfly Brilliance stamp on Block F. Ink it up with the Blushing Bride Ink Pad. Rub a Blending Brush across the open Magenta Madness Ink Pad to get it inky. Lightly rub the inky Blending Brush over parts of some of the butterflies on the stamp. Get more ink on the Blending Brush as needed. Rub a different Blending Brush across the open Calypso Coral Ink Pad to get it inky. Lightly rub the inky Blending Brush over parts of some of the butterflies on the stamp. Get more ink on the Blending Brush as needed. Leave the inked up stamp rubber side up on your work surface. Place the large white rectangle on top of the inked up stamp. Fold the Grid Paper over on top of the stamp with cardstock on top and rub firmly all over. Unfold the Grid Paper and remove the stamped white cardstock rectangle.
Place the butterflies stamped white cardstock on some Grid Paper on your work surface. Rub the Blending Brush with Magenta Madness ink on it across the open Magenta Madness Ink Pad to get it inky again. Lightly rub the inky Blending Brush all over the butterflies stamped on the white cardstock. Get more ink on the Blending Brush as needed.
Pick out the large, open, interconnected butterflies die from the Brilliant Wings Dies. Place the die on top of the stamped and sponged white rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over all the butterflies. Run through the machine.
Note: You are using the two smaller butterfly cut outs on this project. Keep all the other butterfly cut outs and the white rectangle with the butterflies cut out of it to use on other projects.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the two smaller butterfly cut outs to the front of the card at opposing angles just to the left and above the sentiment and above the bricks as shown.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 2 tiny and 1 small rhinestones from a sheet of Rhinestone Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the card front as shown.
