Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Old Olive Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" of small, light and dark green leaves on green background design from Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/8" x 4" from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock
- 1-7/8" x 2-1/2" from Whisper White Cardstock
Adhere the piece of Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper to the Old Olive rectangle and then to the front of the Pear Pizzazz card.
Make sure you have Grid Paper on your work surface to protect it from ink. Mount the frog sitting on a branch image from the Animal Outing Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it on the white rectangle so the bottom leaves are about 3/8" from the bottom and the right edge of the branch barely goes off the right side of the cardstock.
Mount the "so Happy for You" sentiment from the Beautiful You Set on Block B. Carefully ink up everything except the "a" in the word "happy" using the brush tip of the Crumb Cake Marker. Breathe on the stamp to remoisten the ink. Stamp the sentiment over the branch image so it is centered side to side on the white rectangle and about 3/8" from the top.
Use the brush tip of the Old Olive Marker to carefully draw in an "o" in the space in the word "h ppy" so it looks similar to the "o" in the word "you."
Use the Pear Pizzazz Marker to color in the leaves and frog. Use the Crumb Cake Marker to color in the branch.
Adhere the stamped and colored white rectangle to the top of the Pear Pizzazz rectangle.
Use your fingers to tear about 1" off the bottom of the Pear Pizzazz rectangle.
Cut a 9" piece of the Crumb Cake twine from the Nature's Twine.
Fold the twine into thirds.
Lay the folded twine across the white/Pear Pizzazz layers so it is covers the seam between the two layers. Flip the layers over and fold the ends of the twine over. Adhere the ends of the twine in place with pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive. Leave the protective backings on the Tear & Tape Adhesive in place.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the white/Pear Pizzazz layer to the front of the card so it is centered side to side and about 3/4" from the top.
Cut an 8" piece of Crumb Cake twine from the Nature's Twine.
Tie a small bow in the twine and trim the ends. Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the bow to the left side of the twine already on the card front.
