Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a cutting and scoring tool:
- card from Night of Navy Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Soft Suede Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" of lines of brown and blue rope knots on very light brown background design from Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper, cut so the lines are horizontal across the horizontal paper
- 2-3/4" x 3-1/2" from Night of Navy Cardstock
- 2-3/4" x 3-1/2" from Soft Suede Cardstock
- 1-3/4" square from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- scrap of Very Vanilla Cardstock at least 3-1/2" long
Using SNAIL Adhesive, adhere the piece of Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper to the center of the large Soft Suede rectangle and then to the front of the Night of Navy card.
Pick out the die that cuts out a straight-edged heart that is 2-7/16" wide from the Stitched Be Mine Dies. Also pick out the die that cuts out a straight-edged heart that is 7/8" wide. Put them both on top of the Night of Navy rectangle on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the small heart die is centered inside the large heart die. Run through the tool. Keep both pieces. Repeat with the Soft Suede rectangle. Keep both pieces.
Using SNAIL Adhesive, adhere the large Night of Navy heart cut out to the left side of the card front at a slight angle so the left edge almost touches the left edge of the designer paper and the top is about 1/4" from the top of the designer paper.
Adhere the small Soft Suede heart cut out inside the center of the large Night of Navy heart cut out using SNAIL Adhesive.
Using SNAIL Adhesive, adhere the large Soft Suede heart cut out to the center of the card front at a slight angle so the left edge overlaps the right edge of the large Night of Navy heart a bit and the top is about 1/2" from the top of the designer paper.
Adhere the small Night of Navy heart cut out inside the center of the large Soft Suede heart cut out using SNAIL Adhesive.
As you are ready to stamp using the Delightful Day 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 "congratulations" sentiment from the Delightful Day Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Night of Navy Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the strip of vanilla cardstock near one end.
Unlock the Classic Label Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped sentiment in and get it lined up in the center of the punching area. Punch.
Use SNAIL Adhesive to adhere the sentiment punch out to the front of the card so it overlaps the bottom of the large Soft Suede heart a bit.
Pick out the rope knot die from the Smooth Sailing Dies. Use the putty tip of the Take Your Pick to firmly press the cutting side of the knot die to the open Soft Suede Ink Pad. Put the inky die on top of the vanilla square on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Run through the tool. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and/or paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Tip: After using the rope knot die, run it under some water to remove the ink and dry it thoroughly before putting it away.
Use Mini Glue Dots to adhere the rope knot cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the bottom of both large hearts and the left end of the sentiment punch out.
