Art Gallery Delft Windmill Birthday |
I nteractive birthday card with windmill sails that spin. Made with Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock, designer paper, and Adhesive Sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from So Saffron Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Misty Moonlight Cardstock
- 2" x 5-1/4" of blue medallions on white background design from Heart & Home Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/4" x 3" from So Saffron Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3" from Cinnamon Cider Cardstock
- 2-1/8" x 2-7/8" from Adhesive Sheets
- 4-1/4" square from So Saffron Cardstock
- 1" x 3-1/2" from Basic White Cardstock
- 2-1/4" square from Pale Papaya Cardstock
- 2" square from Basic White Cardstock
- 1" x 2" from Pale Papaya Cardstock
Cut a 6" piece of the 3/8" Denim Ribbon.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the piece of Heart & Home Design Paper across the bottom of the Misty Moonlight rectangle. WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the piece of Denim Ribbon across the cardstock/designer paper rectangle so it covers the seam between the two pieces.
As you are ready to stamp using the Art Gallery 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 sentiment of choice from the Art Gallery Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Misty Moonlight Ink Pad. Stamp it on the right side of the Misty Moonlight rectangle just above the ribbon.
When happy with the stamping, adhere the piece of Heart & Home Designer Paper in place. Then, lay the ribbon across the stamped cardstock/designer paper rectangle so it covers the seam between the two pieces. Fold the ends of the ribbon over and secure the ribbon in place on the back of the rectangle using strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add Stampin' Seal to the back of the Misty Moonlight rectangle. Adhere to the front of the So Saffron card.
Pick out the large, open windmill building die from the Windmill Fields Dies. Put it on top of the 2-1/4" x 3" So Saffron rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Peel the protective backing off of the Adhesive Sheets rectangle. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets rectangle to one side of the Cinnamon Cider rectangle. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Pick out the large, detailed windmill building die from the Windmill Fields Dies. Put it on top of the Cinnamon Cider rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the Cinnamon Cider (brown) side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick and Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip to remove the pieces.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the detailed windmill building cut out. Adhere it to the top of the solid So Saffron windmill building cut out.
Pick out the large, detailed windmill sails die from the Windmill Fields Dies. Put it on top of the So Saffron square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick and Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip to remove the pieces.
Place the layered windmill building cut out on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Place the windmill sails cut out on top of it so the hole in the center of the sails lines up with the hole in the top of the detailed windmill building. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to poke a hole through the So Saffron layer of the windmill cut out.
Pick out a small, white, round brad from the Round & Square Brads.
Insert the prongs of the brad through the hole in the top of the windmill building and in the center of the windmill sails. Flip the windmill over and flatten out the prongs. You may need to bend them slightly down so they don't show on the sides of the windmill building top.
Put Stampin' Dimensionals on the back of the layered windmill cut out with sails attached. Remove the protective backings and adhere to the card front as shown.
Pick out the long and medium cloud dies from the Windmill Fields Dies. Put both dies on top of the white strip on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick if needed to remove the pieces.
Use the Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the clouds to the upper right side of the card front as shown.
