Blessings Of Home Blackberry Beauty Blessing |
P retty card perfect for many occasions using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Rich Razzleberry Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" of light brown oak leaf clusters with gold accents on purple background design from Blackberry Beauty 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper
Adhere the Blackberry Beauty Designer Paper to the front of the Rich Razzleberry card.
Carefully remove one of the large tags with gold foil leaves and edging from the Blackberry Beauty Ephemera Pack.
Mount the "You are a real blessing..." sentiment from the Blessings Of Home Stamp Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Blackberry Bliss Ink Pad. Stamp it carefully in the center of the ephemera tag close to the top.
Cut a 4-1/2" piece of the Gold 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon and an 11" piece of the Linen Thread.
Feed one end of the ribbon through the hole in the top of the stamped tag. Pull through until the ribbon is equal. Use the Linen Thread to tie the ribbon in place using a small bow. Trim the ends of the ribbon and thread, but leave the ends of the thread long.
Carefully remove one of the delicate stems of gold leaves, one of the delicate stems of gold leaves and spiky tipped flowers, and one of the gold and white, small stems of leaves and flowers from the Blackberry Beauty Ephemera Pack.
Put some Stampin' Seal on the back of the stamped tag with ribbon attached. Adhere the gold and white, small stem of leaves and flowers to the back of the tag so they will stick out on the upper left side of the tag.
Adhere the delicate stem of gold leaves and spiky tipped flowers to the tag so part of the long stem is tucked behind the lower right corner of the tag and the small stem overlaps the top of the lower right corner of the tag.
Adhere the tag with stems to the front of the card at a slight angle as shown.
Put little drops of Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen on the backs of some of the flowers and leaves on the stems attached to the tag. Adhere them in place.
Put little drops of Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen on the back of some of the leaves on the remaining gold stem. Adhere it to the front of the card so it overlaps the bottom of the tag with the stem on the left side.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Gold 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon.
Tie a half-knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card so it covers the ends of the stems at the bottom of the tag and is in line with the bottom of the tag.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up two large gems from the sheet of Gilded Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the front of the card over the centers of the spiky tipped gold flowers on the stem.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up one medium gem from the sheet of Gilded Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the largest flower at the bottom of the gold and white flowers and leaves stem.
