Cut cardstock, designer paper, and Pearlized Doilies pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer and Paper Snips:
- card from Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 1-7/8" x 5-1/2" from Balmy Blue Cardstock
- 1-3/4" x 5-1/2" of butterflies and leaves scattered over white background design from Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper, cut so the flowers and leaves are vertical
- half of a Pearlized Doily
- butterfly cut from a piece of butterflies and leaves scattered over white background design from Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper
As you are ready to stamp using the All Adorned 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 "best ever" sentiment from the All Adorned Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad. Stamp it in the lower right corner of the card front about 3/4" up from the bottom.
Adhere the strip of Botanical Butterfly Designer Paper to the center of the strip of Balmy Blue Cardstock.
Cut a 6-1/4" piece of the Balmy Blue Ribbon from the Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack.
Lay the ribbon across the matted designer paper strip on the left edge so it is about 1/4" in from the left edge. Flip the strip over and fold the ends of the ribbon over. Adhere the ends of the ribbon in place with pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive. Leave the protective backings in place for now.
If you haven't already done so, cut a Pearlized Doily in half using Paper Snips. Lay the doily half on the front of the card just above the sentiment so the curved edge is about 1" in from the right edge.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strips and add SNAIL to the back of the Balmy Blue strip. Adhere it to the front of the card about 1/8" in from the left edge, making sure that you cover the flat edge of the doily half.
If you haven't already done so, use Paper Snips to cut a butterfly from a piece of the Botanical Butterfly Designer Paper.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the butterfly cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the right edge of the matted designer paper strip in the center of the doily half.
Cut a 3" piece of the Balmy Blue Ribbon from the Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack.
Slide one end of the ribbon under the ribbon on the card front near the top and tie it in place using a half knot. Trim the ends.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a clear flower from a sheet of Frosted Flower Embellishments making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the card front at the end of the "r" in the word "ever."
