Merry Moose Framed Trees |
P layful holiday card using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock and foil sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Crumb Cake Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Soft Suede Cardstock
- 2-3/4" x 4-3/4" of green foil from Red & Green Foil Sheets
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" from Crumb Cake Cardstock
Pick out the label die that cuts out a label that is 2-3/8" x 4-3/8" from the Stitched Nested Labels Dies. Put it on top of the green foil piece on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the tool.
Insert the green foil label cut out into the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder so some of the trees will be embossed vertically onto the vertical label. Make sure the tops of the trees are just below the top of the label. Place the folder with the foil label cut out inside on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the dry embossed green foil label cut out on the Soft Suede rectangle so the left edge of the label is about 3/8" from the left side of the rectangle and it is centered top to bottom.
As you are ready to stamp using the Merry Moose 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 "enjoy the stillness of the season" sentiment from the Merry Moose Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Soft Suede Ink Pad. Stamp it on the right side of the Soft Suede rectangle so it is centered between the green foil label cut out and the right edge of the cardstock and the top of the sentiment is about 1-1/2" from the top edge.
Use strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the dry embossed green foil label cut out to adhere the cut out in place to the stamped Soft Suede rectangle.
Adhere the Soft Suede rectangle to the front of the Crumb Cake card.
Mount the outline moose image from the Merry Moose Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Soft Suede Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the Crumb Cake strip leaving room to punch it out.
Mount the solid moose image from the Merry Moose Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Crumb Cake Ink Pad. Stamp it inside the previously stamped outline moose image on one end of the Crumb Cake strip.
Unlock the Moose Punch. Hold it upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the stamped moose image into the punch and get it centered in the punching area. Punch.
Use Paper Snips to cut a little slit in the top of the moose punch out between his antler and his shoulder. The slit will allow you to slide the ribbon in place in a later step.
Cut a 7" piece of Old Olive/Pretty Peacock 3/8" Reversible Ribbon.
Slide one end of the ribbon into the slit you cut between the moose's antler and shoulder and slide the other end of the ribbon between his front most leg and his dewlap wrapping the ribbon around the moose's neck. Tie the ribbon in place with a knot. Trim the ends.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals on the back of the moose punch out with ribbon attached to adhere the punch out to the front of the card so it overlaps the bottom right side of the green foil label cut out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 3 pearls from a sheet of Iridescent Pearls making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere one in the lower left corner of the card front and the other two in the upper right corner of the card front.
