Project Recipe
Cut card stock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Blushing Bride Card Stock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Sahara Sand Card Stock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" of softly mottled pink and brown design of paper from Falling in Love Designer Series Paper
- 2-3/4" x 4" from Sahara Sand Card Stock
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" from Very Vanilla Card Stock
- 1" x 4" from Very Vanilla Card Stock
Mount ferris wheel image from the Carousel Birthday Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Sahara Sand Ink Pad. Stamp it on the left side of the designer paper so the top is about 1/4" from the top and the left side is about 3/4" from the left.
Adhere the stamped designer paper to the large Sahara Sand rectangle. Then adhere that to the front of the Blushing Bride card.
Slide the long skinny strip of Very Vanilla Card Stock into the opened Banner Triple Punch. Punch.
Mount the birthday sentiment from the Carousel Birthday Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Blushing Bride Ink Pad. Stamp it on the punched out banner so the sentiment is to the left side with the notch in the banner also on the left side.
Use the side of the brush tip on the Blushing Bride Marker to lightly outline the stamped banner.
Adhere the banner to the bottom left side of the card so the banner notch hangs over the side of the designer paper just a bit and the bottom of the banner is about 5/8" from the bottom of the designer paper.
Pick out the Lots of Labels Framelit that cuts out a label that is 2" x 3-1/2". Place the smaller Sahara Sand rectangle on the Cutting Pad on top of your Big Shot Platform on your Big Shot. Place the label framelit on top. Place the other Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Mount the carousel horse image on Block C. Ink it up with the Sahara Sand Ink Pad. Stamp it on the vanilla rectangle in the center.
Pick out the Lots of Labels Framelit that cuts out a label that is 1-3/4" x 2-7/8". Place the stamped vanilla rectangle on the Cutting Pad on top of your Magnetic Platform on your Big Shot. Place the label framelit on top so the horse image is centered, it is a very tight fit. Place the other Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Squeeze the lid of the Blushing Bride Ink Pad to get a pool of ink in the lid. Open the pad but leave the lid exposed. Use a Blender Pen to pick up some ink from the puddle in the lid and color in the tack on the horse. Pick up more ink from the pad lid as needed. Remember to stroke the tip of the Blender Pen in one direction only. If you go back and forth, then the card stock could start to pill and tear. When you are done coloring with the Blushing Bride color, scribble the tip of the Blender Pen back and forth on scratch paper until no more color is coming off.
Repeat Step 11 above using the Sahara Sand Ink Pad. Color in the mane and tail of the horse. Clean the Blender Pen.
Use the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to add some sparkle to the pole.
Use the side of the brush tip on the Blushing Bride Marker to lightly outline the label.
Adhere the horse label to the Sahara Sand label so it is centered. Then, adhere the labels to the right side of the card.
Peel the adhesive backing off one of the small Metal Rimmed Pearls and adhere it to the top of the pole.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of Silver 1/4" Natural Trim. Place the ribbon flat on your work paper. Run the brush tip of the Blushing Bride Marker back and forth across the ribbon to dye it pink. Flip the ribbon over and add more color if needed. Let the ribbon dry for a few minutes.
Once dry, tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon and trim the ends. Adhere to the bottom of the vanilla label with a Mini Glue Dot.
