S imple, pretty thank you card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Parakeet Party Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Lemon Lolly Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1/2" x 3-1/8" from Lemon Lolly Cardstock
- 1" x 3-1/4" from Parakeet Party Cardstock
Unlock the Happy Labels Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of the thin Lemon Lolly strip into the left side of the punch (the side of the punch with the small, rounded scallops) as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch. Repeat on the other end.
As you are ready to stamp using the Lighting The Way 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 "thanks for the lighting the way" sentiment from the Lighting The Way Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Parakeet Party Ink Pad. Stamp the sentiment in the center of the punched strip.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the sentiment strip on the vertical white rectangle so it is about 1-1/2" from the bottom edge.
Mount the largest rough circle image from the Lighting The Way Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Lemon Lolly Ink Pad. Stamp it on the white rectangle so it is about 1/2" above the sentiment strip and about 3/4" from the left edge of the white rectangle.
Mount the medium rough circle image from the Lighting The Way Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Lemon Lolly Ink Pad. Stamp it on the white rectangle so it is about 1/2" from the top of the white rectangle and is centered over the larger stamped circle. Re-ink the stamp and stamp it again so it is about 1/2" from the bottom of the white rectangle and is centered below the larger stamped circle.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle to the center of the large Lemon Lolly rectangle.
Cut a 4-3/4" piece of the Lemon Lime Twist ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack.
Lay the ribbon across the vertical, matted, stamped white rectangle so it is centered between the largest stamped circle and the medium stamped circle on the bottom. 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 Lemon Lolly rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the front of the Parakeet Party card.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the punched sentiment strip to the front of the card so it is centered over the ribbon and the right edge is about 3/8" from the right edge of the card.
Pick out all three of the solid, detailed, small firefly dies from the Lighting The Way Dies. Put them on top of the small Parakeet Party rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Use a Mini Stampin' Dimensional to adhere one of the firefly cut outs to the front of the card at a slight angle so it overlaps the large stamped circle in the middle as shown.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the other two firefly cut outs at slight angles to the front of the card so they overlap the smaller stamped circles as shown.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Lemon Lime Twist ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack.
Slide one end of the ribbon under the ribbon already on the card front and tie in place with a half knot so it is centered between the left edge of the card and the left edge of the sentiment strip. Trim the ends.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up three Parakeet Party pearls from the sheet of 2022-2024 In Color Pearls making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the front of the card as shown.
