Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Berry Burst Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1-1/4" x 5-1/8" of Berry Burst watercolor wash design from Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/2" x 2-3/4" from Shimmery White Cardstock
- 1-3/4" x 2" from Shimmery White Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 2-1/4" from Shimmery White Cardstock
- scrap of Berry Burst Cardstock at least 1-1/2" wide
- scrap of Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock at least 2" long
Mount the large spotted orchid image from the Climbing Orchid Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Berry Burst Ink Pad. Stamp it on the largest piece of Shimmery White Cardstock.
Mount the small spotted orchid image from the Climbing Orchid Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Berry Burst Ink Pad. Stamp it on the 1-3/4" x 2" piece of Shimmery White Cardstock.
Mount the smaller bud image from the Climbing Orchid Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad and stamp it on one end of the Shimmery White Cardstock strip.
Mount the "hello" sentiment from the Climbing Orchid Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad. Stamp it on the other end of the Shimmery White Cardstock strip.
Rub a Sponge Dauber across the open surface of the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad. Rub some color off onto your work surface and then rub light color into the center of each orchid image and all over the bud image.
Pick out the large orchid framelit, the small orchid framelit, and the smaller bud framelit from the Orchid Builder Framelits. Place the stamped orchid and bud images on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the framelits on top so they are centered over the stamped images. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Without adhering, place the orchid and bud images upside down on the right side of the Whisper White rectangle until you are happy with the positioning.
Mount the longer, straight stem image from the Climbing Orchid Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad. Slide the bottom upside down orchid image up just a tiny bit. Stamp the branch image on the white layer so the branch is at a slight angle and goes off the bottom of the white layer and the top will be hidden by the orchid image. Leave the stamp on the block.
Re-ink the stem image with the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad and repeat the step above to stamp the stem between the large bottom orchid and the middle small orchid.
Mount the smaller, branched stem image from the Climbing Orchid Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad and stamp it so it creates the stem between the smaller, middle orchid and the bud on the top.
Remove the orchid and bud images and set them aside for a moment.
Adhere the strip of Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper to the left side of the stamped white rectangle.
Adhere the white rectangle to the Lemon Lime Twist rectangle.
Cut a 6" piece of Lemon Lime Twist 1/4" Ombre Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon piece across the matted white/designer paper layer so it covers the seam between the cardstock and designer paper pieces. Flip the layer over and fold the ends of the ribbon over. Adhere the ends of the ribbon in place with pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strips and add more SNAIL to the back of the cardstock. Adhere the layer to the front of the Berry Burst card.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals behind the orchids and a Mini Stampin' Dimensional behind the bud to adhere the orchids and bud to the card front.
Unlock the 1" Circle Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped "hello" sentiment into the punch. Carefully line up the image so it is centered in the punching area. Punch.
Unlock the 1-1/4" Circle Punch. Slide the scrap of Berry Burst Cardstock into the punch and punch.
Adhere the sentiment circle to the Berry Burst circle.
Pick out the small round ends banner framelit from the Bunch of Banners Framelits. Place the scrap of Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the banner framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the banner cut out to the back of the sentiment circles so it is centered.
Adhere the sentiment piece to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals so it is centered over the ribbon about 1/2" from the top.
Cut a 3" piece of Lemon Lime Twist 1/4" Ombre Ribbon. Slide one end under the ribbon just under the sentiment circle. Tie it in place using a half knot. Trim the ends.
