C lean and simple thank you card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and Adhesive Sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Pacific Point Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Crushed Curry Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Basic White Cardstock
- 3-3/4" square from Basic White Cardstock
- 3-3/4" square from Crushed Curry Cardstock
- 3-5/8" square from Adhesive Sheets
Mount the "Thanks a bunch" or "Let's celebrate you" sentiment from the Celebrate Sunflowers Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Pacific Point Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the bottom of the vertical white rectangle so it is about 5/8" from the bottom.
Rub a Blending Brush across the open Pool Party Ink Pad to get it inky. Very lightly rub the inky Blending Brush all over the stamped white rectangle. Get more ink on the Blending Brush as needed. Make sure you have a piece of Grid Paper under the rectangle to protect your work surface.
Tip: I just clean my Blending Brushes when I'm done using them by running them under water until no more color is coming off. Then, I let them air dry. They may be stained, but they are clean enough to use with any color of ink in the future.
Adhere the stamped and blended white rectangle to the center of the Crushed Curry rectangle and then to the front of the Pacific Point card.
Mount the large sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Saddle Brown StazOn Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white square.
Pick out the large, open sunflower die from the Sunflowers Dies. Put it on top of the stamped flower square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the stamped flower image. Run through the machine.
Rub a different Blending Brush across the open Soft Suede Ink Pad to get it inky. Rub the inky Blending Brush all over the center of the sunflower cut out. Get more ink on the Blending Brush as needed.

Peel the protective backing off of the Adhesive Sheets square. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets square to one side of the Crushed Curry square. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Pick out the large, detailed sunflower die from the Sunflowers Dies. Put it on top of the Crushed Curry square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the Crushed Curry (yellow) side is facing up. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. Make sure the protective backing for the Adhesive Sheet stays in place for now.
Before removing the protective backing from the detailed Crushed Curry sunflower cut out, figure out which way it and the stamped and colored sunflower cut out need to be oriented for them to line up.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the back of the detailed Crushed Curry sunflower cut out and adhere it to the stamped and colored sunflower cut out.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the layered sunflower cut out to the front of the card so it is centered side to side and above the sentiment.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a large Pumpkin Pie jewels from the sheet of Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the sunflower image.
