Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a cutting and scoring tool:
- 2" x 3" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2" x 3-1/4" from Night of Navy Cardstock
- 1" x 2-3/4" from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock
- 1-1/2" square from Balmy Blue Cardstock
- 1-1/4" square from Calypso Coral Cardstock
Unlock the Delightful Tag Topper Punch. Slide one short end of the Whisper White strip into the punch as far as it will go and punch. Leave the punch unlocked.
Slide one short end of the Night of Navy strip into the punch as far as it will go and punch.
As you are ready to stamp using the Beautiful Bouquet Photopolymer Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Put a piece of Grid Paper on top to protect the mat from ink.
Mount the sentiment of choice from the Beautiful Bouquet Set on an appropriately sized block. Ink it up with the Night of Navy Ink Pad. Stamp it on the upper right side of the white tag.
Mount the stem with leaves and 3 ends for flowers image from the Beautiful Bouquet Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Mint Macaron Ink Pad. Stamp it on the left side of the white tag at a slight angle so the open ends for the flowers are just to the left and below and the sentiment and the end of the stem goes off the bottom edge.
Pick out long, skinny, ferny leaf die from the Bouquet Bunch Dies. Put it on top of one of the Soft Sea Foam rectangles on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Run through the tool. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. Repeat with the other Soft Sea Foam rectangle.
Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen or Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the fern cut outs to the white tag so they overlap the stamped stem image near the bottom. The one on the left should go off the left edge a bit. Trim off excess cardstock along the bottom edge.
Adhere the white tag to the Night of Navy tag at a slight angle.
Pick out the grouping of 4-petal flowers die from the Bouquet Bunch Dies. Put it on top of the square of Balmy Blue Cardstock on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Run through the tool. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen or Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the group of Balmy Blue flowers to the lower right corner of the tags. Let some of the flowers hang over the edge a tiny amount.
Mount the small bow image from the Beautiful Bouquet Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Calypso Coral Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Calypso Coral square.
Pick out the small bow die from the Bouquet Bunch Dies. Put it on top of the stamped bow image on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the tails of the bow image are centered in the tails of the die. Run through the tool. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen or Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the bow cut out to the bottom of the tags so it is centered over the bottoms of the stems. Let some of the bow tails hang over the bottom edge.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up two Mint Macaron flower gems and one Terracotta Tile flower gem from a sheet of Flower Faceted Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere them to the tops of the stamped Mint Macaron stem.
Cut a 5" piece of Whisper White 5/8" Flax Ribbon so the ends are angled.
Slide one end of the ribbon through the holes in the top of the tag and get it centered.
Cut an 8" piece of Mint Macaron 1/4" Textile Ribbon.
Tie the ribbon around the flax ribbon on the tag near the top of the tags using a small bow. Trim the ends.
