P retty card to let someone know you are thinking of them using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a cutting and scoring tool:
- card from Petal Pink Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1-3/4" x 5-1/4" of magnolia flowers and buds on stems with green leaves on white background design from Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper
- 2" x 3" from Petal Pink Cardstock
- 2" x 3" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2" square from Whisper White Cardstock
Insert the large Whisper White rectangle into the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder so the lines will be vertical when the cardstock is vertical. Use the line drawn on the front flap of the folder to help you line the cardstock up straight. Place the folder with the paper inside on your die cutting and embossing tool and run through the machine.
Adhere the strip of Magnolia Lane Designer Paper to the left side of the dry embossed white rectangle so about 1/4" of white shows on the left edge.
Adhere the dry embossed white rectangle to the front of the Petal Pink card.
Mount the "thinking of you," "thanks," or "hello" sentiment from the Good Morning Magnolia Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Mossy Meadow Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small white rectangle.
Pick out the smooth oval die from the Layering Ovals Dies that cuts out an oval that is 1-9/16" wide. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment rectangle on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so it is centered over the sentiment. Run through the tool.
Pick out the scalloped oval die from the Layering Ovals Dies that cuts out a scalloped oval that is 1-3/4" wide. Put it on top of the Petal Pink rectangle on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Run through the tool.
Adhere the sentiment oval to the center of the pink scalloped oval. Then, adhere them to the front of the card about 1" from the top and about 3/4" from both sides.
Mount the magnolia bud image from the Good Morning Magnolia Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Early Espresso Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Whisper White square.
Pick out the magnolia bud die from the Magnolia Memory Dies. Put it on top of the stamped magnolia bud image on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so it is centered over the image. Run through the tool.
Squeeze the lid of the Petal Pink Ink Pad and open the pad, but leave the lid exposed. Use a Blender Pen to pick up ink from the lid of the Petal Pink Ink Pad to add some color to the petals of the bud image.
Tip: Remember to stroke in one direction only so that the cardstock doesn't pill and tear.
Tip: Clean the Blender Pen by scribbling on Grid Paper until no more color comes off.
Squeeze the lid of the Mossy Meadow Ink Pad and open the pad, but leave the lid exposed. Use a Blender Pen to pick up ink from the lid of the Mossy Meadow Ink Pad to add color in the stem, brackets, and leaves of the bud image.
Tip: Remember to stroke in one direction only so that the cardstock doesn't pill and tear.
Tip: Clean the Blender Pen by scribbling on Grid Paper until no more color comes off.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the colored bud cut out to the front of the card at an angle so it covers the lower right side of the sentiment circles.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up three Petal Pink sequins from a sheet of Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the lower left curve of the sentiment oval.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a square gem from a sheet of Petal Pink Rhinestone Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the lower right corner of the card front.
Cut an 8" piece of the Mossy Meadow Linen Thread from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack.
Tie a small bow in the center. Trim the ends.
Squish a Mini Glue Dot into a small ball. Adhere it to the top of the stem of the magnolia bud cut out. Adhere the linen thread bow to the glue dot.
