As you are ready to stamp using the Heartfelt Hexagon 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 flower stem image from the Heartfelt Hexagon Set on Block C. Open the Garden Green Ink Pad. Carefully press the stamp to the open ink pad so you'll ink up ONLY the leaves and stems of the image. It's okay if you get a tiny bit of green on the bottom of the flower. Stamp the image on the vertical Bubble Bath rectangle cut out so the uninked flower is near the top left corner. Re-ink the stamp in the same way two more times and stamp it just to the left and right of the first image and slightly lower. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy, but leave it on the block.
Open the Calypso Coral Ink Pad. Carefully press the flower stem image on Block C to the open ink pad so you ink up ONLY the flower at the top of the stem. Carefully stamp the flower at the top of one of the previously stamped green stem images so the uninked leaves line up and the flower is at the top of the stem. Repeat two more times carefully inking up the flower each time and stamping it over the tops of the previously stamped stems. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy and put it away.
Use the fine tip of the Bubble Bath Stampin' Write Marker to carefully color in the petals of the stamped flowers.
Adhere the stamped Bubble Bath rectangle cut out to the center of the Calypso Coral rectangle cut out and then to the front of the card in the center.
Mount the hatched edge tag outline from the Heartfelt Hexagon Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Calypso Coral Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the vertical 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" Bubble Bath strip so it is vertical leaving room to punch it out.
Mount the "I hope your day is filled with joy" sentiment from the Heartfelt Hexagon Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Calypso Coral Ink Pad. Stamp it inside the stamped tag outline on the Bubble Bath strip so it is centered side to side in the outline and is slightly closer to the top edge.
Unlock the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. Hold the punch upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the stamped tag image into the punch and get it centered in the punching area. Punch.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment label punch out to the front of the card so it is centered side to side on the Bubble Bath rectangle cut out and is close to the bottom edge and overlaps the bottoms of the stems.
Cut a 9" piece of the Calypso Coral 3/16" Braided Linen Trim.
Tie a small bow in the center of the linen trim. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the bow to the front of the card so it is at a slight angle over the bottom left corner of the sentiment label punch out as shown.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large Calypso Coral gem from the sheet of Iridescent Pastel Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the upper right corner of the Bubble Bath rectangle cut out as shown.
