Take a piece of Basic Black Cardstock measuring 6" x 8" and on the long side, score at 4". Fold the score line and burnish with a Bone Folder to give a nice, crisp fold.
Take a piece of Whisper White Cardstock measuring 4 3/4" x 3 1/4" and place it on a piece of scrap paper with a landscape orientation.
Imagine a line running horizontally across your piece of Whisper White Cardstock, and two lines running vertically, so dividing the card into six squares.
Using the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, ink the Heartfelt Blooms Image with Calypso Coral Classic Ink and stamp onto the guide sheet.
Re-Ink the stamp, then position the guide image so that it covers the top, right hand 1/6 of the card - note that you will only need to stamp part of the image, hence placing it on scrap paper. Position the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig handle, remove the guide and then stamp the image.
Rotate the piece of cardstock 90 degrees clockwise, so it is in a portrait orientation with the image you have just stamped in the bottom right hand corner. Position your guide so that the image covers what is now the top, right hand sixth of the cardstock. Ink up the image stamp, position the handle, remove the guide and stamp the image.
Rotate the cardstock 180 degrees clockwise, so that it is in the portrait orientation, with the two images you have stamped on the left hand side.
Position the guide so it covers the middle 1/6 of the right hand side of the card piece, ink up the stamp, place the handle, remove the guide and stamp the image.
Rotate the card 90 degrees ANTI-clockwise, so that it is in the landscape orientation, with one image in the centre top, and two in the bottom corners.
Repeat steps 5-7 but instead of stamping the image at full strength, stamp the image on your scrap paper, then stamp it onto your card without re-inking it. This will give you an image at half strength.
Take some scrap Whisper White Cardstock and, using the Calypso Coral Ink, stamp the 'Thinking of You' sentiment, leaving room for it to be cut out using the Framelits.
With the Layering Ovals Plain Framelit #5 (I number mine from largest to smallest, so #1 is largest), run the sentiment through the big shot, making sure the stamping is centred.
Using 1/4 of a Stampin' Sponge and Calypso Coral Ink, lightly ink the edges of the plain oval, and your stamped, image panel.
Take a scrap of Calypso Coral Cardstock and use the #4 Scalloped Oval die to cut a background for your sentiment. Glue the stamped oval onto the scalloped oval.
Take a length of ribbon from the Calypso Coral reel from the Shimmer Ribbon Combo about 8" long. Fold it in half and lay in on the back of the ovals with the tails side by side and a loop about 1" tall at the top. Tape the tails to the back of the ovals.
To build the card, take the card base and stick the Calypso Coral Panel to the front using liquid glue, making sure it is centred.
Attach Stampin' Dimensionals to the back of your stamped image panel. Attach this panel to the front of your card, centering it onto the Calypso Coral panel.
Attach Stampin' Dimensionals to the Sentiment Panel, then attach this to the centre of the Stamped Image Panel. Trim the ends of the ribbon tails at an angle.
Finally, take a piece of Whisper White Cardstock measuring 4 3/4" x 3 3/4" and ink around the edges with Calypso Coral Ink. Stick this to the inside of your card to form a message panel.
Sit back and admire your creation!
Happy Stampin'
