F all congratulations card using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock, Kraft Paper, designer paper, and Adhesive Sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Pumpkin Pie Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Kraft 6" x 6" Paper

- 1-1/4" x 3-3/4" from Pumpkin Pie Cardstock
- 1-1/8" x 3-5/8" from Adhesive Sheets
As you are ready to stamp using the Cottage Wreaths Set, place the designer paper 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 of the Mat to protect it from ink.
Mount the set of three small oak leaves image from the Cottage Wreaths Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Pumpkin Pie Ink Pad. Stamp it in a diagonal line from the lower left corner to the upper right corner of the horizontal Gingham Cottage Designer Paper rectangle as shown. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.
Adhere the stamped designer paper rectangle to the center of the large Kraft Paper rectangle and then to the front of the Pumpkin Pie card.
Pick out the more solid "amazing" word die from the Amazing Thanks Dies. Put it on top of the remaining, smaller Kraft Paper rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Peel the protective backing off of the Adhesive Sheets rectangle. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets rectangle to one side of the long, skinny Pumpkin Pie rectangle. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Pick out the more detailed "amazing" word die from the Amazing Thanks Dies. Put it on top of the Pumpkin Pie rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the Pumpkin Pie (orange) side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the detailed "amazing" word cut out. Adhere it to the center of the more solid "amazing" word cut out.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the layered "amazing" word cut out to the front of the card in the upper left corner as shown.
Pick out one leaf label from the Leaf Label & Amber Gem Combo Pack.
Adhere the leaf label to the front of the card as shown so the stem is tucked under the bottom of the "g" at the end of the "amazing" word cut out.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Gold & Vanilla 3/8" Satin-Edged Ribbon.
Tie the a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot at a slight angle at the base of the stem on the leaf label.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large and 2 small gems from the sheet of gems included in the Leaf Label & Amber Gem Combo Pack making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the front of the card as shown. Make sure one of the large gems covers the hole in the tip of the leaf label and one of the small gems covers the dot on the "i" in the "amazing" word cut out.
