As you are ready to stamp using the Apron of Love 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 "friend" or "mom" sentiment from the Apron of Love Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Flirty Flamingo Ink Pad. Stamp it in the upper right corner of the white square.
Pick out the square die from the Stitched Shapes Dies that cuts out a square that is 2-5/8" wide. Place the stamped sentiment square on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the square die on top so the sentiment is in the upper right corner. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the stamped square cut out to the large piece of pink and white tiny hearts All My Love Designer Paper so it is about 1" from the top and about 5/8" from either side.
Cut a 5" piece of the Lovely Lipstick 1/2" ribbon from the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack.
Lay the ribbon across the white square/designer paper rectangle so it just below center across the square. Flip the rectangle 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 SNAIL to the back of the designer paper rectangle. Adhere it to the front of the Lovely Lipstick card.
Mount the outline apron image from the Apron of Love Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Lovely Lipstick Ink Pad and stamp it in the center of the stitched diagonal white stripes on red background rectangle of All My Love Designer Paper.
Pick out the apron die from the Apron Builder Dies. Place the stamped apron image on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the apron die on top so it is centered over the stamped apron image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the apron cut out to the front of the card at an angle so the bottom left corner is about 3/8" below the bottom of the square and the top right corner is just above the top of the square and the top left corner is even with the left side of the square.
Pick out the half-circle, scallop-edged pocket die from the Apron Builder Dies. Place the small rectangle of pink and white hearts All My Love Designer Paper on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the pocket die on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Mount the half-circle, scallop-edge pocket image from the Apron of Love Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Lovely Lipstick Ink Pad and stamp it on top of the pocket cut out. Get the line at the top of the pocket image as close to the top of the pocket cut out as possible.
Adhere the stamped pocket cut out to the bottom of the apron.
Carefully peel up the protective backing on one side of the piece of Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet and adhere the adhesive sheet to one side of the Flirty Flamingo rectangle. Leave the other protective backing piece in place.
Place the piece of Flirty Flamingo Cardstock on the Precision Base Plate on top of the Platform on the Big Shot so that the adhesive side (with protective backing in place) is on the bottom (Flirty Flamingo facing up).
Pick out the curved apron string die from the Apron Builder Dies. Place it on top of the Flirty Flamingo Cardstock piece on the Big Shot. Place a Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot a couple of times. Use the Die Brush and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the back of the curved apron string cut out. Adhere it to the front of the card so the ends overlap the upper two corners of the apron cut out a bit.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up two Grapefruit Grove or Petal Pink pearls from a sheet of Share What You Love Artisan Pearls making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the ends of the curved apron string.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Lovely Lipstick 1/2" ribbon from the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack.
Slide one end of the ribbon under the ribbon on the card front just to the right of the apron cut out and tie it in place using a half knot. Trim the ends.
