P retty thank you card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- 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 Basic Black Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Petal Pink Cardstock
- 1" x 5-1/8" of black script words on pale pink background design from Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper
- 2" x 3" from Basic Black Cardstock
- 2" x 3" from Whisper White Cardstock
Insert the Petal Pink rectangle horizontally about 1/2 way into the Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Place the folder with the card stock inside on a Cutting Pad on the Big Shot Platform at the lowest possible setting. Place a Cutting Pad on top of the folder and run through the Big Shot.
Tip: Make sure the edges of the folder and cardstock are completely on the platform. Otherwise they will catch on the sides of the Big Shot and it may damage the folder and/or the Big Shot..
As you are ready to stamp using the Love What You Do Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Put a piece of paper (Grid Paper works great) on top of the mat to protect it from ink.
WITHOUT adhering, lay the strip of Share What You Love Designer Paper across the center of the dry embossed Petal Pink rectangle so it covers the line between the dry embossed and smooth cardstock.
Mount the "thank you" sentiment from the Love What You Do Set on Block C. Ink it up with the StazOn Ink Pad. Stamp the sentiment on the smooth portion of the Petal Pink rectangle just below the strip of designer paper and about 2-1/8" from the left edge.
When happy with the stamping of the sentiment, adhere the strip of designer paper in place.
Adhere the Petal Pink rectangle to the large Basic Black rectangle and then to the front of the Petal Pink card.
Mount the large watercolor wash background image from the Love What You Do Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Petal Pink Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white rectangle.
Tip: Some of the image may go off the edge of the cardstock, so make sure you have paper on top of the mat to protect it from ink.
Mount the set of three flowers image from the Love What You Do Set on Block D (it fits at an angle). Ink it up with the StazOn Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white rectangle.
Tip: Some of the image may go off the edge of the cardstock, so make sure you have paper on top of the mat to protect it from ink.
Pick out the oval framelit from the Layering Ovals Framelits that cuts out a 2-1/2" long oval. Place the stamped flowers on pink background image on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the oval framelit on top so it is centered over the flowers (some of the stems will be cut off along the bottom). Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Pick out the scalloped oval framelit from the Layering Ovals Framelits that cuts out a 2-3/4" long scalloped oval. Place the smaller Basic Black rectangle on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the scalloped oval framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Use the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to paint shimmer onto the flower petals.
Adhere the shimmery flowers oval cut out to the center of the scalloped black oval.
Adhere the matted ovals to the card front so they are evenly placed over the designer paper strip just to the left of the stamped sentiment.
Cut a 4" piece of ribbon from both the Black 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon and the Petal Pink 1/4" ribbon from the Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack.
Lay the pink ribbon on top of the black ribbon so it is centered. Tie the ribbons together with a half knot in the center. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the lower right side of the matted flowers ovals.
