Peaceful Moments In Color Squares Thank You |
A pretty thank you card featuring all the new 2021-2023 In Colors and made with Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock and Adhesive Sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Basic White Thick Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-1/2" square from Fresh Freesia Cardstock
- 1-1/2" square from Polished Pink Cardstock
- 1-1/2" square from Soft Succulent Cardstock
- 1-1/2" square from Pale Papaya Cardstock
- 1" x 5-1/2" from Evening Evergreen Cardstock
- 7/8" x 5-1/8" from Adhesive Sheets
Mount the sentiment of choice from the Peaceful Moments Set on an appropriate size block. Ink it up with the Evening Evergreen Ink Pad. Stamp it on the bottom right side of the vertical white rectangle so it is about 1/2" from the right side and it is at least 3-3/4" from the top edge.
One at a time, slide one corner of each of the squares of Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink, Soft Succulent, and Pale Papaya into the angle of the Detailed Trio Punch that corner rounds. Use the guides on the base of the punch to line up the corner in the punch. Press down firmly on the center of the punch to punch.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the punched squares on the top center of the stamped white vertical rectangle so they form a large square with each of the corners rounded. Make sure there is about 1/16" of white space showing between each of the squares.
When happy with the placement of the squares, adhere them in place one a time.
Peel the protective backing off of the Adhesive Sheets rectangle. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets rectangle to one side of the skinny Evening Evergreen rectangle. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Pick out the long, skinny stem with leaves die from the Meadow Dies. Put it on top of the Evening Evergreen rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the Evening Evergreen side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the stem with leaves cut out. Adhere it to the stamped white rectangle so it is just to the left of the sentiment and the top of the stem almost touches the top of the square on the upper left side. There should be about 3/8" from the left side of the stem cut out to the left side of the left squares. If any of the stem goes off the bottom edge of the white cardstock, trim it off with the Paper Snips Scissors.
Adhere the stamped and layered white rectangle to the front of the Basic White Thick card.
Pick out a large Fresh Freesia flower from the Loose Flower Flourishes. Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the flower to the card front in the center of the colored squares square.
Pick out a small Polished Pink flower and a small Pale Papaya flower from the Loose Flower Flourishes. Use a squished down Mini Glue Dot to adhere the small flowers to the stem with leaves so one is in the upper left square and the other is in the lower left square.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Soft Succulent 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card so if is centered over the bottom of the stem just below the sentiment.
