P retty nature themed Christmas card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Pebbled Path Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Boho Blue Cardstock
- 2-3/4" square from Basic White Cardstock
- 2" square from Basic White Cardstock
DO THIS STEP FIRST! Press Clear Block D directly to the open Boho Blue Ink Pad. Hold the inky block over an open area beside you and spritz the block lightly with water (an old Stampin' Mist bottle filled with water works great). Press the watery ink block directly to the large white square. Set it aside to dry. Clean the block.
Press Clear Block B directly to the open Boho Blue Ink Pad. Then, press it to the bottom left side of the horizontal Boho Blue rectangle so it is horizontal and is about 1/4" from the bottom edge and about 7/8" from the left edge.
Re-ink Clear Block B by pressing it directly to the open Boho Blue Ink Pad again. Then, press it to the upper center of the horizontal Boho Blue rectangle so it is horizontal and is about 1/4" from the top edge and about 1-3/8" from the left edge.
Re-ink Clear Block B by pressing it directly to the open Boho Blue Ink Pad one more time. Then, press it to the center right side of the horizontal Boho Blue rectangle so it is horizontal and is about 1" from the top edge and about 3/4" from the right edge. Clean the block.
Adhere the block stamped Boho Blue rectangle to the front of the Pebbled Path card.
If the watery ink stamped block on the white square is dry, then proceed with the next step. You can speed up the drying a bit if needed using the Heat Tool.
Mount the bird image from the Perched In A Tree Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Pebbled Path Ink Pad. Stamp it on the watery ink stamped blue block near the top and centered side to side.
Mount the branch image from the Perched In A Tree Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Pebbled Path Ink Pad. Stamp it on the bottom of the watery ink blue square so it is just below the bird and the tips of the branches are on the right side near the edge.
Pick out the stitched square die that cuts out a 2-3/8" square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Put it on top of the stamped watery blue ink square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the bird and branch images are centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Adhere the bird square to the front of the card so it is about 5/8" from the left side and about 3/4" from the top.
Mount the "let heaven and nature sing" sentiment from the Perched In A Tree Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Boho Blue Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small white square.
Pick out the stitched square die that cuts out a 1-1/2" square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the sentiment is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment square cut out to the front of the card as shown so it overlaps the bottom right side of the bird square cut out a little bit.
Cut a 10" piece of the Pebbled Path jute from the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim.
Tie a small bow in the center of the jute. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the jute bow to the front of the card as shown so it is slightly angled and centered over the bottom right corner of the sentiment square cut out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large and 2 small pearls from the sheet of Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the front of the card as shown in a loose triangle in the upper right corner.
