Project Recipe
Cut cardstock,designer paper, foil sheets, and Adhesive Sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Basic White Thck Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Misty Moonlight Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" of tiny blue four-petal flower diamonds on lighter blue background design from Harvest Meadow 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 2 pieces each 1-1/4" x 4-1/2" from Soft Succulent Cardstock
- 2 pieces each 1-1/8" x 4-3/8" from Adhesive Sheets
- 2" x 4-3/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-1/4" x 3-7/8" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1/4" x 3-7/8" of mirrored foil from Silver Foil 12" x 12" Specialty Pack
One at a time, peel the protective backings off of the Adhesive Sheets rectangles. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets rectangles to one side of the two Soft Succulent rectangles. Be sure to leave the other protective backings in place for now.
Pick out the long, skinny, set of three grass stems die from the Harvest Dies. Put it on top of one of the Soft Succulent rectangles with Adhesive Sheet on back on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the green side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. Repeat with the other Soft Succulent rectangle.
Carefully remove the protective backing from one of the Soft Succulent grass cut outs. Adhere it at a slight angle to the left side of the vertical Harvest Meadow Designer Paper rectangle so the top of the grass is about 1/4" from the top of the designer paper.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the other Soft Succulent grass cut out. Adhere it at a different angle just to the right of the first grass cut out on the vertical Harvest Meadow Designer Paper rectangle so the top of the grass is about 1/2" from the top of the designer paper.
Pick out the longer set of rounded flowers and spiky leaves die from the Harvest Dies. Put it on top of the 2" x 4-3/4" white rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. KEEP ALL THE PIECES!
Place the die cut out inside the rectangle it was cut from on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. Leaving the cut out inside the rectangle makes it easier to add color with the Sponge Daubers in the next step without bending the edges of the cut out.
Rub a Sponge Dauber across the open Misty Moonlight Ink Pad to get it inky. Rub excess ink off on Grid Paper. Daub and rub color onto the rounded flowers and buds on the cut out. Get more ink on the Sponge Dauber as needed.
Tip: I just clean my Sponge Daubers when I'm done using them by running them under water until no more color is coming off. Then, I let them air dry. They may be stained, but they are clean enough to use with any color of ink in the future.

Use Stampin' Dimensionals and Mini Stampin' Dimensionals on the backs of the larger flowers to adhere the colored cut out to the designer paper rectangle so it is in the center of the two grass cut outs and the top of the top flower is about 5/8" from the top of the designer paper.
Mount the sentiment of choice from the Nature's Harvest Set on an appropriate size block. Ink it up with the Misty Moonlight Ink Pad. Stamp it on the 1" x 3-7/8" horizontal white rectangle so it is centered top to bottom and the right edge is about 3/8" from the right edge of the cardstock.
Adhere the stamped white strip to the bottom of the designer paper so it covers the bottoms of the stems.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the thin strip of Silver Foil Sheet to the designer paper/white layer so it hides the seam between the two.
Adhere the designer paper/white/silver foil layer to the center of the Misty Moonlight rectangle.
Cut a 9" piece of the Misty Moonlight/silver Baker's Twine from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack.
Fold the twine in half. Lay the folded twine across the matted designer paper/white/silver foil rectangle so it covers the seam between the silver foil and designer paper. Fold the ends of the folded twine over and secure the folded twine 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 Misty Moonlight rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the front of the Basic White Thick card.
Cut an 8" piece of the Misty Moonlight/silver Baker's Twine from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack.
Fold the twine in half. Slide one end of the folded twine under the folded twine already on the card front. Tie in place with a half knot so it is centered under the stem of the rounded flowers and spiky leaves cut out. Trim the ends.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a large Mint Macaron gem from a sheet of Genial Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the card front in the center of the topmost, large, rounded flower on the cut out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up two small Mint Macaron gems from a sheet of Genial Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the card front in the centers of the small, rounded flowers on either side of the cut out.
