Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Gorgeous Grape Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Highland Heather Cardstock
- 1-3/4" x 4" of light brown plaid design from Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper
- 3" square from Gorgeous Grape Cardstock
- 2" x 2-1/2" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-1/2" square from Basic Beige Cardstock
- 1-1/2" square from Highland Heather Cardstock
As you are ready to stamp using the Crafting With You 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 "life is better when you're crafting" sentiment from the Crafting With You Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Gorgeous Grape Ink Pad. Stamp it in the upper left corner of the large, vertical Highland Heather rectangle.
Mount the tiny heart image from the Crafting With You Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Highland Heather Ink Pad. Stamp it in the upper right corner of the large, vertical Highland Heather rectangle and about 1-1/2" from the top on the left side. Remember to re-ink the stamp.
Adhere the piece of Perennial Lavender Designer Paper to the bottom of the stamped Highland Heather rectangle.
Cut a 4-3/4" piece of the Basic Beige 3/8" Bordered Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the stamped Highland Heather/designer paper 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 Highland Heather rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the front of the Gorgeous Grape card.
Pick out the die from the Spotlight On Nature Dies that cuts out a circle that is 2-3/4" in diameter and has dots and dashes all around the outer edge. Put it on top of the Gorgeous Grape square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Adhere the circle cut out to the front of the card so it is about 3/8" from the right edge and about 1-1/4" from the bottom and is tucked under the ribbon on the card front.
Mount the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine image from the Crafting With You Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Gorgeous Grape Ink Pad. Stamp it on the white rectangle.
Pick out the matching, open Cut & Emboss Machine die from the Crafting With You Dies. Put it on top of the stamped image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine.
Adhere the Cut & Emboss Machine cut out to the front of the card as shown so the handle just sticks over the left edge of the circle cut out and the bottom of the machine just tucks under the edge of the ribbon.
Mount the basket image from the Crafting With You Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Basic Beige Ink Pad. Stamp it on the Basic Beige square.
Pick out the matching, open basket die from the Crafting With You Dies. Put it on top of the stamped basket image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine.
Adhere the basket cut out to the front of the card as shown so it just overlaps the right edge of the circle cut out by the tiniest bit and the bottom is just tucked under the top of the ribbon. Try to leave the top of the basket free of adhesive so you can slide the balls of yarn image underneath in a later step.
Mount the balls of yarn with knitting needles image from the Crafting With You Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Highland Heather Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Highland Heather square.
Pick out the matching, open balls of yarn with knitting needles die from the Crafting With You Dies. Put it on top of the stamped yarn balls image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine.
Adhere the balls of yarn cut out to the front of the card as shown so it is tucked under the top edge of the basket cut out.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Basic Beige 3/8" Bordered Ribbon.
Slide one end of the ribbon under the ribbon already on the card front. Tie in place with a half knot so it is centered on the circle cut out just below the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine cut out. Trim the ends.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 4 small Highland Heather or Gorgeous Grape gems from the sheet of Purple Fine Shimmer Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the front of the card as shown.
