Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Fresh Freesia Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Blackberry Bliss Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Fresh Freesia Cardstock
- 2" x 3-7/8" of various small purple wildflowers with green stems and leaves on vanilla background design from Dainty Flowers 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut so the flowers are vertical on the vertical rectangle
- 1/4" x 3-7/8" from Blackberry Bliss Cardstock
- 3/4" x 3-1/4" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 2" x 2-1/2" of rows of tiny octagons on light purple background design from Favored Flowers 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 2" x 4" of rows of fine line light purple diamonds on dark purple background design from Favored Flowers 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
Insert the large Fresh Freesia rectangle into the Hive 3D Embossing Folder. 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.
Adhere the strip of purple flowers Dainty Flowers Designer Paper to the left side of the dry embossed Fresh Freesia rectangle so the top, bottom, and left sides are all even. Make sure the flowers are pointing up.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the thin strip of Blackberry Bliss cardstock to the rectangle so it covers the seam between the designer paper and dry embossed cardstock.
Adhere the layered designer paper/dry embossed cardstock rectangle to the center of the large Blackberry Bliss rectangle and then to the front of the Fresh Freesia card.
Unlock the Happy Labels Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of the thin Very Vanilla 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.
Mount the "there are so many ways you might feel right now" sentiment from the Sending Support Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Blackberry Bliss Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the punched vanilla strip so the punched end is on the right side and it is as close as possible to the punched end. Allow the ink a few minutes to dry.
Adhere the sentiment strip punch out to the front of the card so it is about 3/4" from the bottom and the left, flat end overlaps the thin strip of Blackberry Bliss a tiny bit.
Cut a 4" piece of the White 3/4" Frayed Ribbon with a sharp angle on each end.
Fold the ribbon in half.
Put a small piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the card front so it is at an angle from the point where the sentiment label punch out and the thin strip of Blackberry Bliss meet and is pointing up to the right corner of the card front. Remove the protective backing. Adhere one half of the folded ribbon to the Tear & Tape strip.
Put another small piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive just above the piece of ribbon on the card front. Remove the protective backing. Adhere the other end of the folded ribbon to the Tear & Tape.
Unlock the Medium Daisy Punch. Hold the punch upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the strip of light purple Favored Flowers Designer Paper into the punch and get it centered in the punching area. Punch. Leave the punch unlocked.
Holding the unlocked Medium Daisy Punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the strip of dark purple Favored Flowers Designer Paper into the punch and get it centered in the punching area. Punch. Slide the paper over a bit and punch again so you have two dark purple daisy flowers.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the three daisy punch outs together so the petals are slightly offset from each other and they are stacked dark, light, dark.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the layered daisy punch outs to the front of the card so they are centered over the Blackberry Bliss strip and cover the left end of the sentiment label punch out and the folded bottom of the ribbon as shown.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large Soft Succulent opal from the sheet of 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds making sure you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the layered daisy punch outs.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 small Soft Succulent opal from the sheet of 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds making sure you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the upper right corner of the card front.
