Pick out the long, skinny, stitched die from the Suit & Tie Dies. Put it on top of the long strip of Pacific Point Cardstock on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the die. Leave the die out to use again in a later step.
Adhere the long, thin, stitched Pacific Point cut out vertically to the center of the vertical large piece of gray, blue, red, and white plaid Well Suited Designer Paper. Use Paper Snips to trim off excess cardstock at the top and bottom as needed.
Pick out the smaller, solid collar pieces die from the Suit & Tie Dies. Put it on top of the smaller piece of blue, red, gray, and white plaid.on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Adhere the collar cut out to the small rectangle of Petal Pink Cardstock so the pink shows through the notch at the top of the collar. Use Paper Snips to trim off any excess pink cardstock showing in the notch at the bottom of the collar.
Adhere the collar cut out with Petal Pink attached behind it to the top of the large plaid designer paper piece so the top edges are even and the notch in the bottom of the collar is centered over the thin strip of Pacific Point.
Put the long, skinny, stitched die from the Suit & Tie Dies on top of the smaller strip of Pacific Point Cardstock on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so you will cut out one end of the long stitched die. Run through the die. .
As you are ready to stamp using the Art Gallery 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 "thank you" sentiment from the Art Gallery Stamp Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Night Of Navy Ink Pad. Stamp it on the end of the short, stitched, Pacific Point cut out so the stitched end is on the right side.
Adhere the stamped sentiment strip to the bottom left side of the large plaid Well Suited Designer Paper. Use Paper Snips to cut off excess Pacific Point cardstock on the left edge.
Adhere the plaid designer paper rectangle with collar, button strip, and sentiment strip attached to the large Pacific Point rectangle. Then, adhere it all to the front of the Poppy Parade card.
Pick out the pocket die from the Suit & Tie Dies. Put it on top of the smaller rectangle of Pacific Point.on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Adhere the pocket cut out to the right side of the card front about 1-7/8" from the top edge and centered between the button strip and the right edge of the designer paper.
Pick out the larger, fuller bow tie die from the Suit & Tie Dies. Put it on top of the red plaid.with dots Well Suited Designer Paper on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Leave the die cut bow tie inside the die!
Place the die cut bow tie inside the die upside down on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Use the small stylus tip on your Take Your Pick to outline the edges of the die pressing fairly hard. This will create a lip around the edge of your die cut out giving some extra dimension and texture. You can also outline the center of the bow tie and add some lines radiating out from the center using the stylus if desired.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals and Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the dry embossed bow tie cut out to the front of the card so it is centered just under the notch at the top of the collar.
Pick out the set of six tiny buttons die from the Suit & Tie Dies. Put it on top of the white square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces if needed.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay 5 of the button cut outs out on the Pacific Point button strip down the center of the card front to figure out spacing.
One at a time, adhere the button cut outs in place using a small dot of Fine-Tip Glue Pen or Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
