Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from either Petal Pink or Mint Macaron Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from either Night of Navy or Just Jade Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 5-1/8" of either blue tiles on light pink background design from In Good Taste Designer Series Paper or copper foil leaves on light green background design from Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper
- 2" x 5-1/8" of either Petal Pink Cardstock or bronze cardstock from the Brushed Metallic 12" x 12" Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" from either Night of Navy or Just Jade Cardstock
- 1" x 2-3/8" from either Petal Pink or Mint Macaron Cardstock
For the Blue Tiles card, insert the 2" x 5-1/8" Petal Pink Cardstock into the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. For the Green Leaves card, insert the 2" x 5-1/8" bronze cardstock into the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder. Place the folder with the paper inside on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.
For the Blue Tiles card, adhere the dry embossed Petal Pink rectangle to the top of the 4" x 5-1/4" Night of Navy rectangle. For the Green Leaves card, adhere the dry embossed bronze rectangle to the top of the 4" x 5-1/4" Just Jade rectangle.
For the Blue Tiles card, adhere the In Good Taste Designer Paper rectangle to the bottom of the 4" x 5-1/4" Night of Navy rectangle so it overlaps the bottom of the dry embossed pink rectangle a bit. For the Green Leaves card, adhere the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Paper rectangle to the bottom of the 4" x 5-1/4" Just Jade rectangle so it overlaps the bottom of the dry embossed bronze rectangle a bit.
For the Blue Tiles card, cut a 5-3/4" piece of the Night of Navy 1/8" ribbon from the Playing With Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack. For the Green Leaves card, cut a 5-3/4" piece of the copper 1/8" grosgrain ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack.
Lay the ribbon across the cardstock/designer paper so the ribbon hides the seam between the cardstock and the top of the designer paper. Flip the layers over and fold the ends of the ribbon over. Adhere the ends of the ribbon in place with pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strips and add Stampin' Seal to the back of the cardstock rectangle. Adhere it to the front of the Petal Pink card for the Blue Tiles card and to the front of the Mint Macaron card for the Green Leaves card.
Pick out the detailed, floral rectangle die from the Ornate Layers Dies that cuts out a rectangle that is 2" x 3-3/8".
For the Blue Tiles card, put it on top of the 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" Night of Navy rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the tool. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
For the Green Leaves card, put it on top of the 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" Just Jade rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the tool. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
As you are ready to stamp using the Ornate Thanks Photopolymer 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" sentiment from the Ornate Thanks Set on Block G.
For the Blue Tiles card, ink it up with the Night of Navy Ink Pad. Stamp it on the 1" x 2-3/8" Petal Pink rectangle so it is centered side to side and close to the top edge.
For the Green Leaves card, ink it up with the Just Jade Ink Pad. Stamp it on the 1" x 2-3/8" Mint Macaron rectangle so it is centered side to side and close to the top edge.
Adhere the stamped sentiment rectangle to the center of the detailed, floral rectangle cut out.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the layered sentiment rectangle to the front of the card so it is centered over the ribbon on the right side of the card.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 2 small and 1 large rhinestone from a sheet of Holiday Rhinestones Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Use the Night of Navy rhinestones for the Blue Tiles card and the Shaded Spruce rhinestones for the Green leaves card. Adhere them to the stamped sentiment rectangle so they are evenly spaced under the word "THANKS" with the large rhinestone in the center.
