Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Sweet Sugarplum Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 5-1/4" of Powder Pink lattice with tiny flowers design from Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack
- 1" x 5-1/4" from Sweet Sugarplum Cardstock
- 2" x 4-1/2" from Whisper White Cardstock
Pick out a sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Set. Ink it up with the Sweet Sugarplum Ink Pad. Stamp it in the lower right corner of the large white rectangle.
Tip: If you want to make sure the sentiment is straight, you can use the Stamp-a-ma-jig if desired.
Adhere the strip of Sweet Sugarplum Cardstock to the back of one long edge of the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper strip so only about 1/8" of the Sweet Sugarplum shows.
Adhere the Fresh Florals Designer Paper/Sweet Sugarplum strip to the left side of the stamped white rectangle.
Adhere the white rectangle to the front of the Sweet Sugarplum card.
Pick out a Powder Pink bow from the 2017-2019 In Color Bitty Bows. Peel off the protective backing from the adhesive dot on the back. Adhere the bow to the front of the card at a slight angle near the top of the Sweet Sugarplum strip.
Pick out one of the flower images from the Flower Shop Set. Ink it up with the Powder Pink Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the strip of white cardstock. Clean the stamp with the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist, but leave it out to use on the next step.
Tip: You have to line the stamped images up just right inside the Pansy Punch to punch them out. So, after figuring out the alignment, I drew an upwards pointing arrow on the top of my stamp block with a Sharpie Marker (you can also draw the arrow on the back of the Clear-Mount stamps). Now, I make sure that the arrow is pointing up when I stamp the flower images. That makes it easier to line up the flower image inside the Pansy Punch to punch it out.
Re-ink the flower image with the Sweet Sugarplum Ink Pad. Stamp it on the other end of the white strip. Clean the stamp and put it away.

Unlock the Pansy Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide one of the stamped flowers into the punch and get the flower centered in the punching area. Punch. Repeat with the other flower image.
Use a Stampin' Dimensional to adhere the Sweet Sugarplum flower to the card front so it overlaps the Fresh Florals Designer Paper strip a bit and is about 1" from the bottom of the card.
Use SNAIL to adhere the Powder Pink flower to the card front so it slides under the right side of the Sweet Sugarplum flower and is a bit lower.
Carefully peel up two Berry Burst circles from a sheet of Glitter Enamel Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to centers of the flowers.
