P retty card perfect for lots of occasions using Stampin' Up! products including some that can be earned for free during Sale-A-Bration 2022.
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Flirty Flamingo Cardstock
- 2" x 6" from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock
- 3 small squares of different small flowers cut from rows of different small flowers on white background design from Wonderful World 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut using small square die from Stylish Shapes Dies
- 2-3/4" x 3-1/4" from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock
- 2-3/4" x 3-1/4" from Flirty Flamingo Cardstock
- 1" x 2" from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock
- 1" x 1-1/4" from Melon Mambo Cardstock
Put the large Flirty Flamingo rectangle into the Gingham Embossing Folder. Use the line printed on the front flap of the folder to make sure it is lined up straight. Place the folder with the cardstock inside on the platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.
Adhere the dry embossed Flirty Flamingo rectangle to the front of the Pear Pizzazz card.
Pick out the square die that cuts out a 1-1/2" square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Put it on top of one end of the 2" x 6" Pear Pizzazz strip on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Leave room to cut out two more squares. Run through the machine. Repeat until you have cut out 3 squares.
If you haven't already done so, pick out the square die that cuts out a 1-1/16" square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Put it on top of a small flower on white background from the Wonderful World Designer Paper on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the flower is centered in the square. Run through the machine. Repeat until you have cut out 3 different flower squares.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the three Pear Pizzazz squares down the left side of the card front so they are evenly spaced and are 1/2" from the left side. When happy with the placement and spacing, adhere them in place one at a time.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the small flower square cut outs to the center of the Pear Pizzazz squares.
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. Put a piece of Grid Paper on top of the Mat to protect it from ink.
Mount the floral bouquet image from the Art Gallery Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 2-3/4" x 3-1/4" Pear Pizzazz rectangle. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Mist and Stampin;' Scrub and/or Simply Shammy, but leave it on the block.
Re-ink the floral bouquet image on Block D, but use the Melon Mambo Ink Pad instead. Stamp it in the center of the 2-3/4" x 3-1/4" Flirty Flamingo rectangle.
Pick out the matching floral bouquet die from the Floral Gallery Dies. Put it on top of one of the stamped bouquet images on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the image is centered in the die. Run through the tool. Repeat with the other stamped bouquet image.
Adhere the green floral bouquet cut out to the front of the card at an angle as shown so the top flower is about 3/8" from the right edge of the card and the bottom of the stem tucks under the upper right corner of the bottom green square cut out. The berries on the left side of the bouquet will overlap the center green square cut out a bit.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to carefully cut the flowers off of the leaves and stems of the Melon Mambo/Flirty Flamingo floral bouquet cut out.
Adhere the cut off flowers over the tops of the same flowers on the green bouquet cut out on the card front using Stampin' Seal, Stampin' Dimensionals, and Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.
Mount the short sentiment of choice from the Art Gallery Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the skinny Pear Pizzazz rectangle leaving room to cut it out.
Pick out the short, wavy edge, banner die from the Floral Gallery Dies. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the sentiment is centered in the die. Run through the tool.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment cut out to the front of the card as shown so it is just below the floral bouquet cut out and centered between the bottom square and the right side of the card.
Pick out the smaller, more closed in butterfly die from the Daffodil Dies. Put it on top of one of the small Melon Mambo rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces if needed.
Slightly bend the wings of the butterfly cut out up.
Use a small dot of Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen in the center of the back of the butterfly cut out to adhere it at a slight angle to the upper right corner of the card.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up one small Calypso Coral gem from the sheet of Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the butterfly cut out on the card front.
