H ello card using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer and Paper Snips Scissors:
- card from Garden 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
- 2-3/8" x 3-5/8" from Highland Heather Cardstock
- 2-3/8" x 3-5/8" from Garden Green Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" of purple mountains and dark purple trees design from Enjoy The Journey 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut so the mountains and trees are vertical on the vertical rectangle
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" of moon rising behind green mountains design from Enjoy The Journey 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut so the mountains are vertical on the vertical rectangle and the moon is on the right side of the rectangle
As you are ready to stamp using the Biggest Wish 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 script "hello" word from the Biggest Wish Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Highland Heather Ink Pad. Stamp the sentiment in the lower right corner of the horizontal white rectangle as close to the edges as possible.
Insert the stamped white rectangle into the crosshatched embossing folder from the Basic 3D Embossing Folders set so the bottom of the folder is just above the word "hello" stamped in the lower right corner. Use the line printed on the front flap of the folder to make sure it is lined up straight. Place the folder with the cardstock inside on the platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.
Adhere the purple mountains and trees Enjoy The Journey Designer Paper piece to the center of the Highland Heather rectangle.
Adhere the green mountains and rising moon Enjoy The Journey Designer Paper piece to the center of the Garden Green rectangle.
Adhere the matted green mountains and rising moon designer paper rectangle to the upper right side of the dry embossed and stamped white rectangle at a slight angle as shown.
Cut a 4-3/4" piece of the green ribbon from the Real Red & Garden Green 3/8" Ribbon Combo Pack.
Lay the ribbon across the stamped and dry embossed white rectangle with the matted designer paper rectangle attached so it covers the line between the dry embossed and smooth parts of the white rectangle. It should overlap the bottom of the matted designer paper a bit. 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 dry embossed white rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the front of the Garden Green card.
Adhere the matted purple mountains and trees designer paper rectangle to the left side of the dry embossed and stamped white rectangle at a slight angle as shown so it overlaps the left side of the other matted designer paper rectangle and overlaps the ribbon.
Use the Dark Highland Heather Stampin' Blends to color the top of one of the compass icons on the sheet of Enamel Sticker Icons. Allow to dry for a minute or two.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to peel up the colored enamel sticker and adhere it to the front of the card as shown so it covers the lower left corner of the matted purple mountains and trees designer paper rectangle.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 5 different sizes of Gorgeous Grape dots from the sheet of Glossy Dots Assortment making sure you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the card front as shown.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the green ribbon from the Real Red & Garden Green 3/8" Ribbon Combo Pack.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card so it is centered over the ribbon already on the card front and the lower right corner of the matted purple mountains and trees designer paper rectangle.
