B right, sunny hello card using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Pumpkin Pie Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Daffodil Delight Cardstock
- 2-3/4" x 3-5/8" from Basic White Cardstock

- 1-1/4" x 3-3/4" of orange and lemon slices scattered over white background from design from Fruit Salad 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
- 1-1/2" x 2-1/4" from Daffodil Delight Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 2-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
Mount the large group of three oranges with leaves and flowers image from the Citrus Blooms Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Pumpkin Pie Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the large, vertical white rectangle. Work on top of some Grid Paper to protect your work surface since the image will go off the left and right edges of the rectangle.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle to the upper right corner of the vertical, large Daffodil Delight rectangle so about 1/8" of yellow shows on the top and right edges.
Adhere the mottled orange Fruit Salad Designer Paper strip to the upper left corner of the vertical, large Daffodil Delight rectangle so about 1/8" of yellow shows on the top and left edges and between the right edge of the designer paper and the left edge of the citrus stamped white rectangle.
Adhere the orange and lemon slices Fruit Salad Designer Paper strip to the bottom of the vertical, large Daffodil Delight rectangle so about 1/8" of yellow shows on the bottom, left, and right edges and between the top of it and the bottom of the other two rectangles.
Adhere the Daffodil Delight rectangle with the other rectangles attached to the front of the Pumpkin Pie card.
Pick out the postage stamp rectangle die that measures 1-1/8" x 1-7/8" from the Perennial Postage Dies. Put it on top of the small, remaining Daffodil Delight rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Mount the "hello" sentiment from the Citrus Blooms Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Pumpkin Pie Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the remaining small white rectangle.
Pick out the postage stamp rectangle die that measures 5/8" x 1-1/2" from the Perennial Postage Dies. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the sentiment. Run through the machine.
Wrap the Lemon Lolly twine included in the Baker's Twine Three Color Pack around your fingers a few times. Cut the twine loose from the spool.
Put a small strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive horizontally across the center of the horizontal yellow postage stamp cut out. Remove the protective backing. Adhere the loops of twine to the adhesive. Put another strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the white sentiment postage stamp cut out. Remove the protective backing and adhere it over the loops of twine so it is centered over the yellow postage stamp cut out.
Adhere the layered postage stamp cut outs to the front of the card as shown so it covers the point where the three small rectangles on the card front meet.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large and 2 small Cajun Craze dots from a sheet of Faux Glass Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the upper left corner of the card front on the strip of mottled orange designer paper in a rough triangle as shown.
