F un, monochromatic thank you card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock, designer paper, and glimmer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Orchid Oasis Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 3-3/4" x 5" of Orchid Oasis plaid design from 2022-2024 In Color 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Assortment
- 7/16" x 5-1/2" of Orchid Oasis glimmer paper from 2022-2024 In Color 6" x 6" Glimmer Paper
- 2" x 3-1/2" from Basic White Cardstock
Adhere the plaid Orchid Oasis Designer Paper to the center of the large white rectangle and then to the front of the Orchid Oasis card.
Unlock the Best Label Punch. Hold the punch upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide one end of the long strip of Orchid Oasis Glimmer Paper into the open punch from above and then through ONLY one side of the punching area. Get the end of the Glimmer Paper strip even with the side of the punch. Punch. This should punch only one end of the strip so it has the notches. Repeat with the other end of the Glimmer Paper strip. Leave the punch unlocked.
Adhere the punched Glimmer Paper strip to the front of the card so it is centered side to side horizontally and is about 1-1/2" from the top edge.
As you are ready to stamp using the Alphabest 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 open, solid outline label image from the Alphabest Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Orchid Oasis Ink Pad. Stamp it three times vertically down the left side of the vertical white strip. Then, stamp it three times vertically down the right side of the vertical white strip. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time and leave some space between each image to punch it out.
One at a time, mount the letters "t," "h," "a," "n," "k," and "s" from the Alphabest Set on Block A. Ink them up with the Orchid Oasis Ink Pad and stamp them each inside one of the open vertical label images.
One at a time, slide the stamped letter labels into the opened Best Label Punch and get them centered in the punching area. Punch until you have them all punched out.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the punched out letter labels on the card front to figure out spacing so they spell out "thanks" and are centered across the punched Glimmer Paper strip. Once happy with the spacing, adhere the letter label punch outs in place one at a time.
Cut an 18" piece of the Orchid Oasis twine from the 2022-2024 In Color Baker's Twine Pack.
Fold the twine in half. Tie a small bow in the center of the folded twine. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the twine bow to the front of the card at a slight angle as shown on the bottom right side of the "s" label punch out.
