Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Just Jade Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" of brown brick wall design from Bloom Where You're Planted 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut so the bricks are horizontal on the vertical rectangle
- 3-1/8" x 4-1/8" from Garden Green Cardstock
- 3" x 4" of light brown woodgrain on white background design from Bloom Where You're Planted 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut so the grain lines are horizontal on the vertical rectangle
- 2" x 3-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 2" x 2-3/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 2-1/4" square from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-3/4" square from Basic White Cardstock
Adhere the piece of brick wall Bloom Where You're Planted Designer Paper to the front of the Just Jade card.
Adhere the piece of woodgrain Bloom Where You're Planted Designer Paper to the center of the Garden Green rectangle.
Cut a 4" piece of the Just Jade 3/8" Gingham Ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack.
Lay the ribbon across the vertical woodgrain designer paper/cardstock rectangle so it is about 3/4" from the bottom. Flip the cardstock 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 Garden Green rectangle. Adhere it to the front of the card so it is centered side to side and about 1/2" from the top edge.
Mount the flower pot image from the Plentiful Plants Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Cinnamon Cider Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 1-3/4" white 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.
Mount the large, multi-leaved plant image from the Plentiful Plants Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Garden Green Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 2" x 2-3/4" white rectangle.
Pick out the matching, multi-leaved plant 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.
Mount the large, three-leaved plant image from the Plentiful Plants Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Just Jade Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 2-1/4" white square.
Pick out the matching, three-leaved plant 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.
Mount the "To a dear friend," "Love you," or "thank you" sentiment from the Plentiful Plants Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Just Jade Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the horizontal 2" x 3-1/4" white rectangle leaving room to punch it out.
Unlock the Tailored Tag Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped sentiment into the punch and get it centered in the punching area. Punch.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the punched out sentiment on the card front so the sentiment punch out is centered over the ribbon on the card.
Adhere the flower pot cut out to the front of the card so it is centered behind the top of the sentiment punch out.
Adhere the larger plant cut out to the front of the card so the stem is tucked behind the top of the flower pot cut out near the center and the lower left leaf overlaps the top left edge of the flower pot cut out a bit.
Adhere the smaller plant cut out to the front of the card so the stem is tucked behind the top of the flower pot cut out near the center and the lower right leaf overlaps the top right edge of the flower pot cut out a bit.
Now, adhere the sentiment punch out in place.
Cut a 4" piece of the Just Jade 3/8" Gingham Ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack.
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 overlaps the left end of the sentiment punch out and is centered over the ribbon already on the card front.
