Project Recipe
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Lemon Lolly Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Lemon Lolly Cardstock
- 3" square from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock
- 2-3/4" square from Lost Lagoon Cardstock
- 2-3/4" square from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock
- 1" x 3" from Lemon Lolly Cardstock
- 1/2" x 3" from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock
Insert the 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" Lemon Lolly rectangle into the floral embossing folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders set. Use the line printed on the front flap of the folder to make sure it is lined up straight. Place the folder with the cardstock inside on the platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.
Unlock the Happy Labels Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of the thin Soft Sea Foam strip into the left side of the punch (the side of the punch with the small, rounded scallops) as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch.
As you are ready to stamp using the Seasonal Branches Set or Cottage Wreaths 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 one of the skinny sentiments of choice from the Seasonal Branches Set on Clear Block G. Ink it up with the Lost Lagoon Ink Pad. Stamp it on the punched Soft Sea Foam strip so the punched edge is on the left side and the sentiment is as close as possible to the punched left edge.
Adhere the sentiment punch strip to the bottom right corner of the dry embossed Lemon Lolly rectangle so it is about 1/2" from the bottom and the right end of the sentiment is close to the right edge. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off excess cardstock on the right side.
Adhere the dry embossed Lemon Lolly rectangle with sentiment strip attached to the center of the 4" x 5-1/4" Soft Sea Foam rectangle and then to the front of the Lemon Lolly card.
Mount the full leaf wreath image from the Cottage Wreaths Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Lost Lagoon Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 3" Soft Sea Foam square.
Pick out the matching, open wreath die from the Country Wreaths Dies. Put it on top of the stamped wreath on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Rotate the die around until is is centered over the stamped image. Run through the machine.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut the wreath in half.
Adhere the two half wreath pieces to the front of the card on the upper left side so they are about 3/8" apart.
Pick out the large, slightly less detailed wreath die from the Country Wreaths Dies. Put it on top of the 2-3/4" Lost Lagoon square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.

Mount the single, four-petal flower image from the Seasonal Branches Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Daffodil Delight Ink Pad. Stamp it three times on the small piece of Lemon Lolly Cardstock leaving room to cut the images out and remembering to re-ink the stamp each time.
Pick out all three of the matching, open, small, single flower dies from the Seasonal Branches Dies. Put them on top of the stamped images on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so they are centered over the images. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the flower cut outs to the wreath on the front of the card as shown.
Cut a 9" piece of the Lemon Lolly ribbon from the 3/8" Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack.
Tie a small bow in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon bow to the front of the card at a slight angle on the lower left side of the wreath as shown.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up three small pearls from the sheet of Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the centers of the flowers.
