Charming Sentiments Everything Leaves |
S pring themed birthday card made with Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Granny Apple Green Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 2-3/4" from Granny Apple Green Cardstock
Mount the Leaf Collection stamp on Block F. Leave the stamp rubber side up on your work surface and press the open Granny Apple Green Ink Pad all over it.
Leave the stamp inky rubber side up on your work surface. Carefully place the Lemon Lime Twist rectangle on top of the inky stamp so it is centered. Place a piece of Grid Paper on top of the cardstock/inky rubber and rub firmly all over. Remove the Grid Paper and the inked up cardstock rectangle.
Adhere the stamped Lemon Lime Twist rectangle to the front of the Granny Apple Green card.
Cut a 12" piece of the Lemon Lime Twist ribbon included in the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack.
Lay the ribbon on the card front and fold it into thirds so you have two loops (one on either end) and two loose ends of ribbon (one on either end). Use a small piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive across the center of the folded ribbon to hold it in place so it is about 2" from the top of the card. Leave the protective backing in place.
As you are ready to stamp using the Charming Sentiments 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 "wishing you everything wonderful" sentiment from the Charming Sentiments Set on Clear Block D. Ink it up with the Granny Apple Green Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small Granny Apple Green rectangle.
Pick out the matching die from the Sentiment Silhouettes 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 machine.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the card front so it is centered over the folded ribbon as shown. Make sure you completely cover the Tear & Tape strip used to hold the ribbon in place.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 2 large and 3 small gold sequins from a sheet of Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them randomly to the card front.
