Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and vellum pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- 2-3/8" x 7-1/4" of Polished Pink vellum from 2021-2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum
- 1-1/2" x 2-3/8" of Polished Pink vellum from 2021-2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum
- 1" x 4-1/2" of Soft Succulent vellum from 2021-2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum
- 1" x 1-1/4" of Soft Succulent vellum from 2021-2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum
- 1" x 4-1/2" of Evening Evergreen vellum from 2021-2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum
- 2" x 3-1/2" from Basic White Cardstock
Fill your box with treats and put the lid on.
Wrap the Smoky Slate 7/8" Textured Ribbon around the box and tie in place with a knot. Trim the ends.
Mount the "your sweet friendship refreshes the soul" sentiment from the Prized Peony Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Polished Pink Ink Pad. Stamp it near the left end of the horizontal Basic White strip. Leave room to punch it out.
Unlock the Everyday Label Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped sentiment into the punch and get it centered in the punching area, but closer to the left edge. Punch.
Make sure the knot in the ribbon is positioned on the box lid where you want it. Put pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the sentiment label punch out. Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape and adhere the sentiment punch out to the top of the box lid so it is centered over the ribbon just to the right of the knot. Make sure you leave room for the flower and leaves!
Pick out the flower piece die labeled Die 1 in the picture from the Peony Dies. Put it on top of the small Polished Pink shimmer vellum rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Pick out the three flower piece dies labeled Die 2, Die 3, and Die 4 in the picture from the Peony Dies. Put them on top of the long rectangle of Polished Pink shimmer vellum on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine.
Slide the cut out labeled 1 in the picture into the slot cut in the cut out labeled 2 in the picture. Slide the layered cut outs into the slot cut in the cut out labeled 3 in the picture. Slide the layered cut outs into the slot cut in the cut out labeled 4 in the picture.
Use strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive across the back of the layered peony flower to hold all the pieces in place. Remove the protective backings and adhere the peony to the top of the box lid so it overlaps the ribbon and the upper right side of the sentiment label punch out.
Pick out the stamen die piece labeled Die 5 in the picture from the Peony Dies. Put it on top of the small rectangle of Soft Succulent shimmer vellum on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Put a Mini Glue Dot on the back of the stamen cut out (labeled 5 in the picture) at the top. Add the stamen cut out into the center of the flower by sliding it into the slit cut in the cut out labeled 1.
Pick out the two leaf dies labeled Die 1 and Die 3 in the picture from the Peony Dies. Put them on top of the long, skinny strip of Soft Succulent shimmer vellum on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine.
Pick out the two detailed leaf dies labeled Die 2 and Die 4 in the picture from the Peony Dies. Put them on top of the Evening Evergeen shimmer vellum on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Use the Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the detailed leaf cut outs to the tops of the solid leaf cut outs. Adhere cut out 2 to cut out 1 and cut out 4 to cut out 3.
Use Stampin' Seal to adhere the layered leaves cut outs to the top of the box lid so the one leaf is tucked under the lower right side of the flower and the other leaf overlaps the lower left side of the flower.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up two small Evening Evergreen jewels from a sheet of 2021-2023 In Color Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere one to the left end of the sentiment punch out and the other to the dip at the base of the flower over the top of the end of the leaf.
