P retty gift tag using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- 1-1/2" x 2-5/8" from Granny Apple Green Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 4-1/2" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 3/4" x 1-1/2" from Granny Apple Green Cardstock
Unlock the Delightful Tag Topper Punch. Slide one short edge of the long Granny Apple Green strip into the punch as far as it will go. Punch.
As you are ready to stamp using the Timeless Tulips Photopolymer 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 larger, more open tulip flower image from the Timeless Tulips Set on Block C. Ink it up with the So Saffron Ink Pad. BEFORE STAMPING ON THE CARDSTOCK, roll the edges of the inked up stamp across the open Blushing Bride Ink Pad to get a little bit of pink on the bottom and edges of the stamp. Stamp it on one end of the horizontal white strip near the left edge so the flower is pointing up. Clean the stamp using the Simply Shammy and/or Stampin' Mist and Stampin' Scrub, but leave it on the block.
Ink up the larger, more open tulip flower image on Block C with the Mango Melody Ink Pad. BEFORE STAMPING ON THE CARDSTOCK, roll the edges of the inked up stamp across the open Melon Mambo Ink Pad to get a little bit of pink on the bottom and edges of the stamp. Stamp it in the center of the horizontal white strip so the flower is pointing up. Be sure to leave space to punch out the images. Clean the stamp using the Simply Shammy and/or Stampin' Mist and Stampin' Scrub and put it away.
Unlock the Tulip Builder Punch. Hold it upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the stamped large, open tulip image on the left end of the strip into the punch and get it centered in the corresponding punching area. Punch. Repeat so you have punched out both tulip images. Leave the punch unlocked.
Adhere the tulip punch outs to the front of the Granny Apple Green tag so they overlap each other and the edges hang off the right and left edges a tiny bit and the tops of the flowers are just below the ribbon hole at the top of the tag.
Mount the slightly curved leaf image from the Timeless Tulips Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Granny Apple Green Ink Pad. Stamp it on the horizontal white strip near the right edge so the leaf is straight up and down with the bulge on the left side.
Hold the unlocked Tulip Builder Punch upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the stamped slightly curved leaf image into the punch and get it centered in the corresponding punching area. Punch.
Mount the "hello" sentiment from the Timeless Tulips Set on Block A. Ink it up wit the Mango Melody Ink Pad. Stamp it on the remaining bit of white rectangle so you can punch out the sentiment with the Classic Label Punch in the next step.
Unlock the Classic Label Punch. Hold it upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the stamped sentiment into the punch and get it centered in the punching area on the right edge of the punching area. Punch.
Adhere the sentiment punch out to the front of the tag over the two tulips about 1/2" from the bottom of the tag. Trim off excess cardstock on the left side.
Adhere the leaf punch out to the front of the tag so it overlaps the left side of the sentiment punch out and hangs over the left side of the tag just a tiny bit.
Pick out one of the bunches of grass dies from the Ladybugs Dies. Put it on top of the small Granny Apple Green rectangle on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Run through the tool.
Adhere the bunch of grass cut out to the bottom of the tag so it overlaps the bottoms of the tulip flowers and leaf just a tiny bit.
Use the putty tip on the Take Your Pick to pick out a Calypso Coral sequin from the Metallic Baker's Twine & Sequins Combo Pack. Press the sequin to a Mini Glue Dot on the roll of glue dots. Adhere the sequin to the front of the tag so it is in the angle between the top of the sentiment punch out and the right side of the leaf punch out.
Wrap the Gold 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon around the gift and tie in place with a knot. Trim the ends.
Cut a 5" piece of the So Saffron twine from the Metallic Baker's Twine & Sequins Combo Pack.
Fold the twine in half. Poke the folded end through the hole in the top of the tag. Put the loose ends through the loop of twine. Tighten the twine in place.
Slide one loose end of the twine under the ribbon and then tie the tag in place by tying the twine in a knot. Trim the ends.
