- 4" x 5-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-7/8" x 5-1/4" of small pink flowers and green leaves white background design from Delightfully Eclectic 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 1-3/4" x 2-3/4" from Moody Mauve Cardstock
- 1-3/4" x 2-3/4' from Basic White Cardstock
- 1" square from Basic White Cardstock
Fold the card on all score lines so a short flap is on the left side of the front of the vertical card. Use the Bone Folder to crease the folds.
As you are ready to stamp using the Happy Hedgehogs 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 mushroom image from the Happy Hedgehogs Set on Block B. Carefully ink up the mushroom using the side of the brush tip of the Moody Mauve Stampin' Write Marker. Ink up the grass using the side of the brush tip of the Garden Green Stampin' Write Marker. Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink. Stamp it in the lower right corner of the vertical, 4" x 5-1/4" white rectangle.
Mount the butterfly image from the Happy Hedgehogs Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Moody Mauve Ink Pad. Stamp it on the white rectangle so it is resting on top of the stamped mushroom image. Leave the stamp on the block.
Re-ink the butterfly image on Block A with the Moody Mauve Ink Pad. Stamp it on the small white square.
Use the fine tip of the Moody Mauve Stampin' Write Marker to color in the dots on the mushroom cap, the frill along the top of the stem of the mushroom, and the butterfly bodies.
Use the Bubble Bath Stampin' Write Marker to color in the stem and top of the mushroom and the butterfly wings.
Use the fine tip of the Garden Green Stampin' Write Marker to color in the grass.
Leave the underside gills of the mushroom white.
Adhere the stamped and colored white rectangle to the inside back of the card.
Adhere the strip of Delightfully Eclectic Designer Paper to the skinny front flap of the card.
Mount the sentiment of choice from the Happy Hedgehogs Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Moody Mauve Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the remaining, horizontal white rectangle.
Pick out the smallest notched corner rectangle die from the Something Fancy Dies. Put it on top of the sentiment stamped rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the sentiment is in the center. Run through the machine.
Pick out the medium notched corner rectangle die from the Something Fancy Dies. Put it on top of the Moody Mauve rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Adhere the sentiment rectangle cut out to the center of the Moody Mauve rectangle cut out.
Use small pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the matted sentiment rectangle to the left flap of the card front so the sentiment is centered side to side and slightly closer to the top. Make sure no adhesive goes over the edge of the front flap or the card won't open.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut out the colored butterfly on the white square by hand. Cut off the antennae.
Use a Mini Stampin' Dimensional to adhere the cut out butterfly to the upper left corner of the matted sentiment rectangle as shown.
If desired, use the fine tip of the Moody Mauve Stampin' Write Marker to hand draw in the antennae.
Cut a 10" piece of the Moody Mauve jute from the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim.
Tie a bow in the center of the jute. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the jute bow to the front of the card as shown at a slight angle on the lower left corner of the matted sentiment rectangle.
