P retty thank you card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and vellum pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Just Jade Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 2-3/4" of blocks of white cursive text design from Vellum 12" x 12" Layering Designs
- 2-1/2" x 3-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1/2" x 3-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
Insert the vertical Pear Pizzazz rectangle into the bottom of the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder about 2-1/2". Place the folder with the cardstock inside on the platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.
Put a horizontal line of Stampin' Seal on the back of one long edge of the vellum rectangle and a vertical line of Stampin' Seal from the horizontal line up about 1-1/2" so it is about 1-1/4" from the left edge of the back of vellum.
Adhere the vellum to the top of the dry embossed Pear Pizzazz rectangle so there is about 1/8" of Pear Pizzazz on the left, right, and upper edges. You should overlap the top of the dry embossed area of the Pear Pizzazz rectangle a little bit.
Cut a 4-3/4" piece of the Just Jade & Gold 3/8" Braided Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the vellum/cardstock rectangle so it covers the seam between the two pieces. Fold the ends of the ribbon over and secure the ribbon in place on the back with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add Stampin' Seal to the back of the Pear Pizzazz rectangle. Adhere it to the front of the Just Jade card.
Mount the leaf image from the Amazing Silhouettes Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Pear Pizzazz Ink Pad. Place the inked stamp on the block on your work surface rubber side up. Use the brush tip of the Old Olive and Just Jade Markers to tap randomly all over the inked up stamp. Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink. Stamp the leaf image in the center of the larger white rectangle.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut out the leaf image by hand. Use your imagination to extend the points of some of the leaves past the inked up margins.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the leaf cut out to the front of the card at a slight angle so the bottom overlaps the ribbon on the right side as shown. Be sure to cover the vertical line of Stampin' Seal helping to hold the vellum in place.
Unlock the Banners Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of the thin white strip into the right side of the punch (the side of the punch with the inward notched top) as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch.
As you are ready to stamp using the Special Moments 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 small sentiment of choice from the Special Moments Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Just Jade Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white banner punch out so the notch is on the left side and the left end of the sentiment is about 1/4" from the notch.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to trim off excess white cardstock to the right of the end of the sentiment leaving at least 1/2" from the end of the sentiment.
Adhere the sentiment banner strip to the front of the card as shown so the bottom of the strip overlaps the top of the ribbon and the right end of the strip is tucked under the left edge of the leaf cut out.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Just Jade & Gold 3/8" Braided Ribbon.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card at a slight angle so it is centered over the ribbon already on the card front near the bottom left side of the cut out leaf image.
Carefully pull up the upper left corner of the vellum on the card front. Put a Mini Glue Dot in the corner under the vellum about 1/2" from the top and left sides. Press the vellum down onto the Glue Dot.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 2 Old Olive (lighter green) shapes from a sheet of Faux Sea Glass Shapes making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the upper left corner of the card front so they hide the Mini Glue Dot holding the vellum in place.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 white and 2 Just Jade (darker blue green) shapes from a sheet of Faux Sea Glass Shapes making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the lower right corner of the card front.
