P retty card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock, designer paper, and doily pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer and Paper Snips:
- card from Tranquil Tide Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock
- 3-3/4" x 5" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 5" pearlized blue and green flowers and leaves on light blue-green background design from Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper
- half a Pearlized Doily
As you are ready to stamp on each piece of cardstock using the Love What You Do 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 large watercolor background image from the Love What You Do Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Soft Sea Foam Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white rectangle as close to the top edge as possible.
WITHOUT adhering, lay the piece of Share What You Love Designer Paper across the bottom of the stamped white rectangle.
Mount the "beautiful day" or "friend" sentiment from the Love What You Do Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Tranquil Tide Ink Pad. Stamp it just above the designer paper on the right side of the white rectangle so it is about 5/8" in from the right side.
Remove the designer paper from the bottom of the white rectangle and set it aside for now.
Mount the group of three flowers image from the Love What You Do Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Mossy Meadow Ink Pad. Stamp it on the left side of the white rectangle so the flowers are about 3/8" in from the left edge and about 1/4" from the top edge.
Mount the spiky leaf image from the Love What You Do Set on Block B (it fits at an angle). Ink it up with the Mossy Meadow Ink Pad. Stamp it between the flowers and sentiment. Re-ink the stamp with Mossy Meadow Ink and stamp just below and to the right of the first leaf image.
Use the Mint Macaron and Tranquil Tide Markers to color in the petals of the stamped flowers.
Use the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to add some sparkle to the lighter colored petals of the stamped flowers.
Adhere the strip of Share What You Love Designer Paper to the bottom of the stamped and colored white rectangle.
Cut a 6" piece of Tranquil Tide 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the cardstock/designer paper layers so it is covers the seam between the two layers, make sure not to cover too much of the bottom of the sentiment. Flip the layers over and fold the ends of the ribbon over. Adhere the ends of the ribbon in place with pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strips and add more SNAIL to the back of the cardstock. Adhere it to the Soft Sea Foam rectangle.
Adhere the layers to the front of the Tranquil Tide card.
If you haven't already done so, cut a Pearlized Doily in half. Adhere one half to the front of the card so the straight edge is even with the top of the ribbon on the left side. Put the other half away to use on a future project.
Pick out a large Call Me Clover button from the Tinted Faceted Buttons. Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the button to the card front so it is centered on the top of the doily half.
Cut a 3" piece of Silver 1/8" Ribbon. Tie a half knot in the center. Trim the ends.
Adhere the ribbon knot to the center of the button using a Mini Glue Dot.
