Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- 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 Misty Moonlight Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 7-1/2" of dark blue plaid design from Delightfully Eclectic 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/4" x 7-1/2" of connected white hexagons with diamonds in the centers on light blue background design from Delightfully Eclectic 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut so the lines are horizontal on the horizontal rectangle
- 2-1/4" x 5-1/2" from Night Of Navy Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- scraps of Night Of Navy Cardstock for punching out extra bits
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 hatched edge tag outline from the Heartfelt Hexagon Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Misty Moonlight Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the horizontal 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" Very Vanilla strip so it is horizontal leaving room to punch it out.
Mount the "for you" sentiment from the Heartfelt Hexagon Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Night Of Navy Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the hexagon outline on the vanilla strip.
Unlock the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. Hold the punch upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the stamped sentiment image into the punch and get it centered in the punching area. Punch. Leave the punch open.
Punch three hexagon shapes from each of the strips of Delightfully Eclectic Designer Paper. Leave the punch open.
Lay the Misty Moonlight rectangle on the Silicone Craft Sheet so it is horizontal.
Note: By working on top of the Silicone Craft Sheet, your project won't stick to your work surface as you adhere all the bits and pieces in place.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the sentiment hexagon punch out in the center of the Misty Moonlight rectangle. Then, arrange the 6 designer paper hexagon punch outs around it as shown leaving a small amount of Misty Moonlight showing around each of them.
When happy with the arrangement, adhere the designer paper punch outs in place one at a time using Stampin' Seal. DO NOT ADHERE THE SENTIMENT PUNCH OUT IN PLACE! Just set it aside for now.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off any excess designer paper on all 4 edges of the Misty Moonlight rectangle.
Use the open Heartfelt Hexagon Punch to punch out bits of Night Of Navy scrap cardstock to fill in any spaces on the four corners of the Misty Moonlight rectangle. Leave the punch open.
While still working on top of the Silicone Craft Sheet, use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the hexagon punch bits to the four corners of the Misty Moonlight rectangle filling in any gaps.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off any excess Night Of Navy cardstock along the edges of the Misty Moonlight rectangle.
Adhere the Misty Moonlight rectangle with all punched bits attached to the front of the Night Of Navy card.
Use the open Heartfelt Hexagon Punch to punch out two complete shapes from the 2-1/4" x 5-1/2" Night Of Navy strip.
Cut one of the Night Of Navy punch outs in half horizontally. Adhere the pieces behind the sentiment punch out so about 3-1/6" of Night Of Navy pokes out along the top and bottom edges of the sentiment punch out.
Cut the other Night Of Navy punch out in half vertically. Adhere the pieces behind the sentiment punch out so about 3-1/6" of Night Of Navy pokes out along the left and right edges of the sentiment punch out.
There should be a slight dip between the vertical and horizontal layers along the edges of the sentiment punch out.
Cut a 4-1/4" piece of the Misty Moonlight 3/8" Inner Braid Ribbon so it has a sharp angle on each end.
Use small strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the ribbon to the back of the matted sentiment label punch out so it is centered top to bottom and about 3/4" of ribbon sticks out to the left and right sides.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the layered sentiment punch out with ribbon attached to the front of the card in the center.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up two Smoky Slate gems from the sheet of Faceted Gems Trio Pack making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the front of the card as shown.
