Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Pool Party Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" of light blue textile design from Softly Stippled 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/2" x 4" of brushstroke pink design from Softly Stippled 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 3-3/4" square from Basic White Cardstock
- 1/2" x 3-1/2" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 5" from Basic White Cardstock
Mount the long line of tiny dots image from the Detailed Dogwood Set on Block I. Ink it up with the Pool Party Ink Pad. Stamp it on the left edge of the horizontal light blue textile Softly Stippled Designer Paper. Leave the stamp on the block.
Re-ink the long line of tiny dots image on Block I with the Pool Party Ink Pad. Stamp once on Grid Paper. Without re-inking stamp it on the 1/2" x 3-1/2" white strip. Set the stamped white strip aside for now.
Adhere the strip of brushstroke pink Softly Stippled Designer Paper to the left side of the stamped light blue textile designer paper piece so it is about 3/8" from the left side.
Adhere the layered designer paper rectangle to the front of the Pool Party card.
Mount the large dogwood branch image from the Detailed Dogwood Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white square.
Pick out the circle die that cuts out a circle that is 3-1/4" diameter from the Deckled Circles Dies. Put it on top of the stamped white square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so you cut out most of the dogwood branch image. Run through the machine.
Place the dogwood branch circle cut out on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. You need to make sure that you protect your work surface with paper as the Stampin' Blends Markers do bleed through.
Use the Light and Dark Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends to color in the stems.
Use the Light and Dark Old Olive Stampin' Blends to color in the leaves.
Use the Light and Dark Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends to color in the flowers and bud.
Use the Light and Dark Pool Party Stampin' Blends to color in the background.
Unlock the Happy Labels Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of the thin, dot stamped white strip into the right side of the punch (the side of the punch with the smaller scallops) as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch.
As you are ready to stamp using the Lasting Joy 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 "I'm so thankful" sentiment from the Lasting Joy Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Calypso Coral Ink Pad. Stamp it on the punched, dotted white strip as close as possible to the right edge with the punched edge on the right side.
Adhere the stamped sentiment strip to the back of the colored dogwood circle cut out so it will stick out on the lower right side as shown. If needed, trim off excess cardstock.
Adhere the colored dogwood circle cut out with sentiment strip attached to the front of the card so the circle cut out overlaps the pink brushstroke designer paper strip as shown.
Mount the text dragonfly image from the Detailed Dogwood Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Calypso Coral Ink Pad. Stamp it twice on the remaining horizontal white strip leaving room to punch the images out and stamp the label in a later step. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.
Unlock the Dragonflies Punch. Slide one of the stamped dragonflies into the punch and get it centered in the punching area for the small dragonfly. Punch. Repeat with the other stamped dragonfly. Keep the rest of the white strip.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the dragonfly punch outs to the card front as shown.
Mount the small label image from the Detailed Dogwood Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Calypso Coral Ink Pad. Stamp it on the remainder of the white strip.
Unlock the Best Label Punch. Slide the stamped label into the punch and get it centered in the punching area. Punch.
Use the fine tip of the Dark Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends to write a number on the label punch out as shown.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the label punch out to the front of the card as shown so it overlaps the upper left side of the dogwood circle cut out.
Cut a 12" piece of the Flirty Flamingo twine from the Baker's Twine Three Color Pack.
Fold the twine in half. Tie a small bow in the center of the folded twine. Trim the ends.
Use a squished up Mini Glue Dot to adhere the twine bow to the front of the card as shown just below the stems on the dogwood circle cut out.
