P retty birthday card using leftover pieces from the Love, Santa Tag Kit and some additional Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Bumblebee Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Polished Pink Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" of Basic White Cardstock
- 1" x 3" from Basic White Cardstock
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay three of the scalloped, yellow, rectangle die-cuts from the Love, Santa Tag Kit on the left side of the horizontal, large white rectangle to figure out spacing. When happy with the spacing, adhere the pieces in place one at a time.
As you are ready to stamp using the stamps in the Love, Santa Tag Kit, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the gift image from the Love, Santa Tag Kit on the block. Ink it up using the Bumblebee Ink Pad. Stamp the image twice on the small strip of white cardstock, leave a small amount of space between them. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy, but leave it on the block.
Re-ink the gift image on the block using the Polished Pink Ink Pad. Stamp the image one time on the remaining bit of white cardstock.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut out the 3 gift images by hand.
Adhere the three gift cut outs to the centers of the scalloped, yellow die-cuts on the white cardstock so the pink one is in the middle.
Adhere the white rectangle to the center of the Polished Pink rectangle.
Cut a 6" piece of the Polished Pink 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the white rectangle so it is centered between the bottom and middle scalloped, yellow die cuts. 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 Polished Pink rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the front of the Bumblebee card.
Mount the "Special Delivery" sentiment from the Love, Santa Tag Kit on the block from the kit. Ink it up using the Polished Pink Ink Pad. Stamp the sentiment in the center of the die-cut, yellow strip from the kit.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals from the kit to adhere the stamped yellow sentiment strip to the front of the card so it is centered over the ribbon on the right side about 3/4" from the right edge.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Polished Pink 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot from the Love, Santa Tag Kit to adhere the ribbon knot to the card front so it is centered over the ribbon at a slight angle just to the left of the sentiment strip.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up one small yellow gem, one large pink gem, and one small pink gem from the Love, Santa Tag Kit making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them in a rough triangle in the upper right corner of the card.
