Cut cardstock, designer paper, and Foil Sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Sweet Sugarplum Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" of rose gold and gold flowers and leaves on white background design from Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/2" square from Gold Foil Sheets
- 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" from Sweet Sugarplum Cardstock
- 2-1/2" square from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2-1/4" square from Copper Foil Sheets
Adhere the piece of Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper to the front of the Sweet Sugarplum card.
Mount the "You are amazing" sentiment from the All Things Thanks Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Sweet Sugarplum Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white square.
Pick out the circle framelit from the Layering Circles Framelits that cuts out a 1-7/8" circle. Place the stamped sentiment square on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the circle framelit on top so the sentiment is as close to the bottom of the circle as possible. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Pick out the scalloped circle framelit from the Layering Circles Framelits that cuts out a 2-1/4" scalloped circle. Place the Gold Foil Sheets square on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the scalloped circle framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Unlock the 2" Circle Punch. Slide the Sweet Sugarplum strip into the punch. Punch.
Adhere the sentiment circle to the center of the Sweet Sugarplum circle.
Put strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the Sweet Sugarplum circle. Remove the protective backings and adhere the matted sentiment circle to the center of the scalloped gold foil circle.
Place the scalloped gold foil circle upside down in front of you. Put some strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back. Remove the protective backings and leave the circle face down in front of you.
Wrap some Copper Metallic Thread around your fingers a few times. Cut the thread loose from the spool. Adhere the loops of thread to the adhesive on the back of the sentiment circles so they will stick out to the top, bottom, and left sides when the circle is turned over.
Adhere the sentiment circles to the front of the card about 1/2" from the right side and 1" from the top of the designer paper layer.
Pick out the set of 5 small dragonflies thinlit from the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies. Place the square of Copper Foil Sheets on the Precision Base Plate on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the dragonflies thinlit on top so that you will cut out the top two dragonflies. Place a Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot a couple of times. Use the Die Brush to remove the pieces.
Use Paper Snips to trim off any excess foil sheets from the two dragonflies.
Place a Mini Stampin' Dimensionals on the back of the dragonfly bodies. Peel off the protective backings and adhere the dragonflies to the card front so they overlap the upper right corner of the sentiment circles.
