Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Granny Apple Green Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 2" x 5-1/4" of diagonal rainbow stripes design of Merry Bold & Bright 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 1-1/4" x 2-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1" square from Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock
As you are ready to stamp using the Just My Type 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 plant image from the Just My Type Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the horizontal 4" x 5-1/4" white rectangle so the tops of the leaves are about 1/2" from the top. Re-ink the stamp and stamp it again over the top of the previously stamped plant, but slightly offset. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy, but leave it on the block.
Re-ink the plant image on Block B with the Granny Apple Green Ink Pad. Stamp it on the white rectangle so it is centered between the left side of the rectangle and the left side of the previously stamped plant and the tops of the leaves are about 1/2" from the top. Re-ink the stamp and stamp it on the white rectangle so it is centered between the right side of the rectangle and the right side of the middle stamped plant and the tops of the leaves are about 1/2" from the top.
Mount the flower pot image from the Just My Type Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad. Stamp it below the plant stamped on the left. Re-ink the stamp and stamp it again below the plant stamped on the right. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy, but leave the stamp on the block.
Re-ink the flower pot image on Block A with the Granny Apple Green Ink Pad. Stamp it below the plant stamped in the center.
If needed, use the fine-tip of the Lemon Lime Twist and/or Granny Apple Green Stampin' Write Markers to fill in any space between the stems and the tops of the pots.
Use the fine-tip of the Blueberry Bushel, Pool Party, and Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Write Markers to color in the stripes on the pots on the left and right sides as shown.
Use the fine-tip of the Melon Mambo, Poppy Parade, and Crushed Curry Stampin' Write Markers to color in the stripes on the pot in the center as shown.
Adhere the piece of Merry Bold & Bright Designer Paper to the bottom of the stamped and colored white rectangle.
Cut a 5-3/4" piece of the Lemon Lime Twist ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack.
Lay the ribbon across the layered cardstock/designer paper rectangle so it covers the seam between the pieces. Fold the ends of the ribbon over and secure the ribbon in place on the back with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add Stampin' Seal to the back of the white rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the front of the Granny Apple Green card.
Mount the "hi" sentiment from the Just My Type Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Granny Apple Green Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the horizontal white strip. Leave room to cut it out and to stamp and envelope in later steps.
Pick out the smallest stitched circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Put it on top of the white strip on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the "hi" sentiment. Run through the machine. Keep both pieces.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the "hi" circle cut out to the front of the card as shown so it is centered over the ribbon on the right side and just overlaps the bottom right side of the potted plant on the right a tiny bit.
Mount the small envelope image from the Just My Type Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad. Stamp it on the remaining strip of white. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy, but leave it on the block.
Re-ink the small envelope image on Block A with the Granny Apple Green Ink Pad. Stamp it on the small square of Lemon Lime Twist.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut out both envelopes by hand.
Adhere the green envelope cut out to the bottom left corner of the card front at a slight angle as shown.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the white envelope cut out to the front of the card at a slight angle as shown so it overlaps the lower right corner of the green envelope a tiny bit.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large white sequin from the sheet of Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the front of the card so it overlaps the lower left corner of the green envelope cut out as shown.
Cut a 3" piece of the Lemon Lime Twist ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack.
Slide one end of the ribbon under the ribbon already on the card front just to the left of the "hi" circle cut out. Tie in place with a half knot. Trim the ends.
