Project Recipe
Cut cardstock, designer paper, glimmer paper, and Adhesive Sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Evening Evergreen Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" of Parakeet Party floral design from 2022-2024 In Color 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Assortment
- 1-3/4" x 3-1/2" from Evening Evergreen Cardstock
- 1-5/8" x 3-3/8" from Adhesive Sheets
- 2" square from Parakeet Party Cardstock
- 1-1/2" square from Pale Papaya Cardstock
- 1" x 1-1/4" of light colored Parakeet Party Glimmer Paper from 2022-2024 In Color 6" x 6" Glimmer Paper
Pick out the second largest Stitched With Whimsy Die. Put it on top of the large Parakeet Party floral designer paper rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered on the rectangle. Run through the machine.
Note: This die doesn't really cut anything out. Instead, it will add stitching texture to the cardstock.
As you are ready to stamp using the Plentiful Plants Set, place the cardstock or designer paper on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the skinny sentiment of choice from the Plentiful Plants Set on an appropriate size block. Ink it up with the Evening Evergreen Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the bottom of the vertical, stitched cut designer paper rectangle so it is close to the stitching along the bottom.
Adhere the stamped and stitched die-cut designer paper rectangle to the front of the Evening Evergreen card.
Mount the flower pot image from the Plentiful Plants Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Pale Papaya Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Pale Papaya square.
Pick out the flower pot die from the Perfect Plants Dies. Put it on top of the stamped flower pot image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the flower pot image is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Peel the protective backing off of the Adhesive Sheets rectangle. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets rectangle to one side of the Evening Evergreen rectangle. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Pick out the macrame potted plant hanger die from the Perfect Plants Dies. Put it on top of the Evening Evergreen rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the green side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the macrame potted plant hanger cut out.
Working on the Silicone Craft Sheet so it is easy to remove pieces that have adhesive on them, adhere the bottom part of the macrame hanger cut out over the top of the flower pot cut out so the pot appears to be in the base of the hanger.
Add some Stampin' Seal to the back of the pot cut out if needed and adhere everything to the front of the card so it is centered side to side and the top of the macrame hanger cut out almost touches the bottom of the stitching cut into the designer paper on the top edge.
Mount the curving bunch of round leaf vines image on Block C. Ink it up with the Evening Evergreen Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Parakeet Party square.
Pick out the matching, curving bunch of round leaf vines die from the Perfect Plants Dies. Put it on top of the stamped plant leaves image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the plant leaves image is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the curving bunch of round leaf vines cut out to the front of the card so it is centered over the top of the flower pot cut out inside the macrame hanger cut out.
Pick out the small, spiky plant die from the Perfect Plants Dies. Put it on top of the small rectangle of Parakeet Party Glimmer Paper on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the spiky plant cut out to the front of the card so the bottom edge is tucked behind the upper left side of the curving bunch of round leaf vines cut out.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Evening Evergreen 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card so it is centered over the top of the macrame hanger cut out.
