Cut cardstock, designer paper, and Adhesive Sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Cajun Craze Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Bumblebee Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 2 squares each 2" square from Bumblebee Cardstock
- 2" square from Crumb Cake Cardstock
- 3 squares each 1-7/8" square from Adhesive Sheets
- 3 squares each 2-1/4" square from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 5/8" x 3-7/8" of lines of dark brown with small medallions every so often on lighter brown background design from Harvest Meadow 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut so a line is near the center of the strip and is horizontal on the horizontal strip
- 4 squares each 1-1/4" square from Cajun Craze Cardstock
- 2 squares each 1-1/4" square from Bumblebee Cardstock
Mount the "good things grow..." or "You are SO worth celebrating!" sentiment from the All Squared Away Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Cajun Craze Ink Pad. Stamp it on the right side of the horizontal strip of Harvest Meadow Designer Paper.
Tip: I recommend stamping on Grid Paper first to make sure your sentiment is straight.
Adhere the stamped strip of designer paper to the bottom of the large, vertical Very Vanilla rectangle.
Adhere the vanilla rectangle with stamped designer paper attached to the center of the large Bumblebee rectangle and then to the front of the Cajun Craze card.
Mount the lines of cross hatches on solid background image from the All Squared Away Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Crumb Cake Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of one of the Very Vanilla squares. Re-ink the stamp with the Crumb Cake Ink Pad and stamp it in the center of another one of the Very Vanilla squares. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy, but leave it on the block.
Re-ink the lines of cross hatches on solid background image on Block C with the Cajun Craze Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the remaining Very Vanilla square.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to trim out the stamped square images by hand leaving a thin line of Very Vanilla on each side.
One at a time, peel the protective backings off of the Adhesive Sheets squares. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets squares to one side of the two large Bumblebee squares and the Crumb Cake square. Be sure to leave the other protective backings in place for now.
Pick out the square with symmetrical spikes leaves on either side of straight stem in the center and small flowers at the top die from the Floral Squares Dies. Put it on top of one of the Bumblebee squares on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the Bumblebee (yellow) side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. Repeat with the other Bumblebee square and the Crumb Cake square.
Carefully remove the protective backing from one of the Bumblebee leaves and flowers square cut outs. Adhere it to one of the cut down stamped Crumb Cake crosshatch squares so the lines of the crosshatching are all vertical. If needed, trim off excess vanilla cardstock on the edges. Repeat with the other Bumblebee square cut out and stamped Crumb Cake crosshatch square.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the Crumb Cake leaves and flowers square cut out. Adhere it to the cut down stamped Cajun Craze crosshatch square so the lines of the crosshatching are all vertical. If needed, trim off excess vanilla cardstock on the edges.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the layered crosshatch and cut out squares on the card front as shown to figure out spacing and placement. When happy with the placement, adhere the squares in place one a time.
Pick out the set of three small, four-petal flowers die from the Floral Squares Dies. Put it on top of one of the small Bumblebee squares on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. Repeat with the other small Bumblebee square and all of the small Cajun Craze squares.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the small Bumblebee flowers over the tops of the flowers on the Crumb Cake cut out square. Add an additional flower as shown.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the small Cajun Craze flowers over the tops of the flowers on the Bumblebee cut out squares. Add an additional flower as shown to the lower right corner of the bottom square.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up tiny rhinestones from a sheet of Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the centers of all the flowers on the card front.
