Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Early Espresso Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" of vanilla leaves scattered on brown background design from Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper
- 2-3/4" x 3-3/4" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
Insert the Magnolia Lane Designer Paper rectangle into the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. Place the folder with the paper inside on your die cutting and embossing tool and run through the machine.
Adhere the dry embossed designer paper rectangle to the large Very Vanilla rectangle and then to the front of the Early Espresso card.
Mount the "prayers and ...." sentiment from the Woven Heirlooms Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Early Espresso Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small vanilla rectangle.
Mount the small flower swirl image from the Woven Heirlooms Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Early Espresso Ink Pad. Stamp it on the small vanilla rectangle just above the right side of the word "prayers."
Pick out the stitched oval die from the Stitched Shapes Dies that cuts out an oval that is 2-3/8" wide. Put it on top of the stamped vanilla square on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the stamped sentiment is centered. Run through the tool.
Adhere the sentiment oval cut out to the front of the card so it is centered side to side and about 3/4" from the top.
Pick out a triple copper leaves trinket from the Leaves Trinkets. Adhere it to the card front using a Mini Glue Dot so the stem of the trinket almost touches the bottom swirl of the word "family" on the left side of the oval cut out.
Cut a 6" piece of Linen Thread.
Fold the thread into thirds and then tie a half knot in the center. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the knotted thread to the stem of the trinket.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick tool to pick up 3 antique copper elements from a sheet of Designer Elements being sure to get adhesives as well. Adhere one to the top of the sentiment cut out on the right side and the other two in the upper left corner and lower right corner of the card.
