P retty encouragement card made with Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Soft Succulent Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Evening Evergreen Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 2-3/4" x 3-7/8" of small green ferns and green dots on mottled vanilla and blue-gray background design from Painted Christmas 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 1-1/4" x 3-1/4" from Soft Succulent Cardstock
Mount the larger, fuller stem with leaves image from the Forever Fern Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Soft Succulent Ink Pad. Leave the inky stamp face up on your work surface. Use the brush tip of the Evening Evergreen Stampin' Write Marker to randomly thump some darker green around on the leaves. Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink. Stamp the image in the upper left corner of the vertical vanilla rectangle.
Adhere the piece of Painted Christmas Designer Paper to the bottom of the stamped vanilla rectangle so the left, bottom, and right edges are even.
Adhere the stamped and layered vanilla rectangle to the center of the Evening Evergreen rectangle.
Cut a 4-1/2" piece of the Gold & Vanilla 3/8" Satin-Edged Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon horizontally across the matted cardstock/designer paper rectangle so it covers the seam between the cardstock and designer paper. 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 Evening Evergreen rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the front of the Soft Succulent card.
Mount the "hello" or "you can do this" sentiment from the Forever Fern Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Evening Evergreen Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the skinny Soft Succulent strip.
Pick out the long, skinny sentiment label die from the Pretty Pillowbox Dies. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment strip on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the sentiment. Run through the machine.
Use Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the sentiment label cut out to adhere the label cut out to the ribbon on the right side of the card front. The right end of the label cut out should be about 3/8" from the right side of the card.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Gold & Vanilla 3/8" Satin-Edged 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 so it is centered over the ribbon to the left of the sentiment label cut out at a slight angle as shown.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 small Soft Succulent, 1 small Evening Evergreen, and 1 large Evening Evergreen gems from the sheet of 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the front of the card in a loose triangle in the upper right corner as shown.
