Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Melon Mambo Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Real Red Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" of light pink roses on darker pink background design from Marbled Elegance 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper
- 3" x 3-7/8" from Real Red Cardstock
- 2-3/4" x 3-7/8" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 3-1/4" from Melon Mambo Cardstock
Adhere the piece of Marbled Elegance Specialty Designer Paper to the center of the 4" x 5-1/4" Real Red rectangle and then to the front of the Melon Mambo card.
As you are ready to stamp using the Hearts Of Elegance Set, place the cardstock or foil sheet on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the large sentiment of choice from the Hearts Of Elegance Set on an appropriate size block. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the vertical white rectangle.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle to the center of the remaining Real Red rectangle and then to the front of the card so the top and bottom edges are even with the designer paper layer and it is about 7/8" from the left side of the card front.
Mount the rose image from the Hearts Of Elegance Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it twice on the remaining strip of Melon Mambo cardstock leaving room to cut the images out with the die. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.
Pick out the matching, open rose die from the Hearts Of Elegance Dies. Put it on top of one of the rose images on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine. Repeat with the other rose image.
Put lines of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back sides of the rose cut outs.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape on the back of one of the rose cut outs. Add loops of Gold Twisted Thread to the back of the cut out. Repeat with the other rose cut out.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the rose cut outs with thread loops attached to the front of the card as shown.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 2 large clear dots from a sheet of Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the centers of the rose cut outs.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 small and 2 large hearts from a sheet of Adhesive-Backed Heart Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the front of the card on the white cardstock around the sentiment as shown.
