Ornate Thanks Vellum Square Thanks |
P retty thank you card using new Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Bumblebee Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" of gold medallions on green background design from Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper
- 1-1/2" x 4-1/2" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1-1/4" x 3" from Bumblebee Cardstock
Adhere the piece of Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Paper to the front of the Bumblebee card.
As you are ready to stamp using the Ornate Thanks 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 "Thank You" sentiment from the Ornate Thanks Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Bumblebee Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white rectangle but slightly closer to the top edge.
Mount one of the shorter, script sentiments from the Ornate Thanks Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it on the white rectangle so it barely overlaps the bottom of the previously stamped "thank you" on the right side.
Pick out the stitched,straight-edged rectangle die from the Ornate Layers Dies that cuts out a rectangle that is 1" x 4". Put it on top of the stamped sentiment on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the sentiment is centered. Run through the tool.
Peel off one of the Square Vellum Doilies from the stack. Lay the doily on the left side of the card front so it is centered top to bottom and the left edge is about 3/8" from the left side of the card.
Adhere the sentiment cut out to the card front so it overlaps the bottom of the doily with about 1/4" of doily showing along the bottom edge and the right edge of the sentiment rectangle being about 3/8" from the right edge of the card.
Pick out the 3 individual, solid flower dies from the Ornate Borders Dies. Put them on top of the Bumblebee rectangle on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the tool.
Use a Mini Stampin' Dimensional to adhere the larger flower cut out to the card front so it overlaps the top left corner of the sentiment rectangle.
Adhere the other two flower cut outs to the front of the card so they overlap the top left corner of the sentiment rectangle a bit and tuck under the previously adhered large flower cut out just a bit.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a large gem from a sheet of Gilded Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the large flower cut out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 2 medium gems from a sheet of Gilded Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the centers of the two smaller flower cut outs.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a small gem from a sheet of Gilded Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of one of the gold medallions on the designer paper in the upper right corner of the card.
