Catching Butterflies Blue Marbled Thoughts |
C ute card to let someone know you are thinking of them using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Balmy Blue Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Misty Moonlight Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" of darker blue marbled design from Simply Marbleous 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
- 1-3/4" x 3-1/2" from Basic White Cardstock
Mount the girl with net image from the Catching Butterflies Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Misty Moonlight Ink Pad. Stamp it on the left side of the horizontal blue marbled Simply Marbleous Designer Paper rectangle so her one foot is pointing straight down and is about 1/2" from the bottom edge and her other foot is sticking out to the left and is about 1/2" from the left edge.
Mount the grouping of butterflies image from the Catching Butterflies Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Misty Moonlight Ink Pad. Stamp it on the horizontal blue marbled Simply Marbleous Designer Paper rectangle so it is near the top edge and just to the right of the girl's net.
Adhere the stamped designer paper rectangle to the center of the Misty Moonlight rectangle.
Cut an 18" piece of the Misty Moonlight/silver Baker's Twine from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack.
Fold the twine into thirds.
Lay the folded twine across the bottom of the designer paper/cardstock rectangle so it is about 1/2" from the bottom. Fold the ends of the folded twine over and secure the twine in place on the back with 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 it to the front of the Balmy Blue card.
Mount the "collecting sweet thought of you" sentiment from the Catching Butterflies Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Misty Moonlight Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white rectangle.
Unlock the Cloud Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped sentiment into the punch and get it centered in the fatter end of the cloud. Punch.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment cloud punch out to the front of the card so it is centered side to side and centered over the twine. It should overlap the lower right side of the stamped girl image a bit.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large Balmy Blue gem from a sheet of Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the cloud punch out just to the left of the sentiment near the top of the cloud.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 more large Balmy Blue gem and three small gems from a sheet of Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them randomly to the front of the card as shown.
Cut an 8" piece of the Misty Moonlight/silver Baker's Twine from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack.
Tie a small bow in the center of the twine. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the twine bow to the left edge of the cloud punch out at a slight angle.
