As you are ready to stamp using the Delicate Dahlias Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the large, open dahlia flower image from the Delicate Dahlias Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Jet Black StazOn Ink Pad or Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it in the upper right corner of the large white rectangle.
Unlock the Tailored Tag Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide one short edge of the larger, flowers and dots designer paper strip into the punch from the top edge and get the end centered so you will punch a notch in the end of the designer paper. Punch.
Adhere the punched designer paper strip to the stamped, large white rectangle so the notched end is on the left and the ends of the notches are about 1/2" from the left edge of the white rectangle and the bottom edge of the designer paper is about 1/4" from the bottom of the white rectangle. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off any excess designer paper on the right edge.
Unlock the Banners Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of the striped designer paper strip into the right side of the punch (the side of the punch with the inward notch) as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch. Leave the punch unlocked.
Adhere the punched striped designer paper strip to the large white rectangle so the notch is on the left and it overlaps the top of the first designer paper strip a bit as shown. Use Paper Snips to trim off excess designer paper on the right edge as needed.
Slide one short edge of the thin white strip into the right side of the unlocked Banners Pick A Punch (the side of the punch with the inward notch) as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch.
Mount the "thank you kindly" or "you inspire me" sentiment from the Delicate Dahlias Set on an appropriate size block. Ink it up with the Jet Black StazOn Ink Pad or Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it on the punched white strip so the notch is on the left side and the sentiment is about 1/2" from the notch in the center.
Adhere the stamped and punched white strip to the white rectangle so it overlaps the two designer paper strips as shown. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off any excess cardstock on the right edge.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle with designer paper and sentiment strips attached to the large black rectangle and then to the front of the Basic White Thick card.
Mount the small, outline flower image from the Delicate Dahlias Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Jet Black StazOn Ink Pad or Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small white square.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut out the small flower image by hand.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the small flower cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the striped designer paper and sentiment strip punch outs just to the upper right side of the stamped sentiment.
Cut an 8" piece of the Black & White 1/4" Gingham Ribbon.
Tie a small bow in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon bow to the front of the card at a slight angle just to the right of the stamped sentiment and below the small flower cut out so it is centered over the bottom edge of the white sentiment strip punch out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up one large and one small dot from the sheet of Matte Black Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere the large dot to the center of the small flower cut out on the front of the card. Adhere the small dot to the center of the large flower stamped on the front of the card.
