C ountry-style hello card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Boho Blue Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Mossy Meadow Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 2" x 5" of small green squares plaid design from Timeless Plaid 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/2" x 3-1/4" of blue tartan plaid design from Timeless Plaid 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
As you are ready to stamp using the Everyday Arches 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 "hello" sentiment from the Everyday Arches Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Boho Blue Ink Pad. Stamp it in the lower left corner of the horizontal Very Vanilla rectangle so it is about 3/4" from the bottom and left edges.
Adhere the green squares design from the Timeless Plaid Designer Paper to the top of the stamped rectangle so a small amount of vanilla shows on the top, left, and right edges.
Adhere the stamped and layered vanilla rectangle to the center of the Mossy Meadow rectangle.
Cut a 12" piece of the Boho Blue jute trim from the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim Pack.
Fold the trim in half. Lay the folded trim across the top of the matted vanilla/designer paper rectangle so it is about 1/2" from the top . Fold the ends of the folded trim over and secure the folded trim in place on the back with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive so there is a little bit of space between the pieces of jute trim.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add Stampin' Seal to the back of the Mossy Meadow rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the front of the Boho Blue card.
Unlock the Sweetest Star Punch. Hold the punch upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the piece of blue tartan piece of the Timeless Plaid Designer Paper into the punch and get it centered in the punching area. Punch.
Place the punched out star upside down on a Stampin' Pierce Mat. Use the small end of the stylus from the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and a ruler to score a line between each outer point of the star to the inner point directly opposite it. Make sure the lines only cross in the center.
Fold the star punch out on all score lines to give it some dimension.
Cut a 4" piece of Linen Thread.
Fold the Linen Thread in half. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the folded thread to the back of the star punch out so the looped end sticks out at the top of one of the points by about 1/2".
Put more Stampin' Dimensionals on the back of the star punch out. Remove the protective backings and adhere the star punch out to the front of the card as shown just to the right of the stamped sentiment so the loop of linen thread just overlaps the jute trim.
Cut a 3" piece of the Boho Blue jute trim from the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim Pack.
Slide one end of the jute trim under the jute trim already on the card front and through the loop of linen thread at the top of the star. Tie in place with a half knot. Trim the ends and fray them.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large gem from a sheet of Two Tone Sparkle Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the star punch out.
