Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Calypso Coral Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock
- 2-3/4" square from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2" x 3" from Old Olive Cardstock
- scrap of Calypso Coral Cardstock
Insert the Pear Pizzazz rectangle into the Petal Burst Embossing Folder. Place the folder with the card stock inside on a Cutting Pad on the Big Shot Platform at the lowest possible setting. Place a Cutting Pad on top of the folder and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the dry embossed Pear Pizzazz rectangle to the front of the Calypso Coral card.
As you are ready to stamp using the Climbing Orchid 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 large veined orchid flower image from the Climbing Orchid Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Calypso Coral Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the large white square.
Mount the larger orchid "face" image from the Climbing Orchid Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it over the top of the previously stamped orchid image so it fills in the empty spaces where the "face" goes.
Pick out the large orchid die from the Orchid Builder Dies. Place the stamped orchid image on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the die on top so it is centered over the stamped image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Mount the smaller, veined leaf image from the Climbing Orchid Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the Old Olive strip.
Mount the larger, veined leaf image from the Climbing Orchid Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it on the other end of the Old Olive strip. Leave some space between the leaves.
Pick out the large and small leaf dies from the Orchid Builder Dies. Place the stamped leaf images on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the dies on top so they are centered over the corresponding stamped images. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Cut a 6” piece of Calypso Coral 1/8" Sheer Ribbon.
Adhere the ribbon to the back of the orchid cut out on the lower right side so a couple of small loops of ribbon will stick out on the lower left side when the image is correct side up. Hold the loops in place with pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive. Leave the protective backings in place on the adhesive.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the orchid cut out with ribbon attached to the lower left corner of the card front at a slight angle.
Adhere the leaf cut outs to the card front so they stick out from behind the orchid on the upper right side and overlap each other a bit.
Mount the sentiment of choice from the You’re Inspiring Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it on the scrap of Calypso Coral Cardstock.
Use Paper Snips to cut out the portion of the sentiment that you want to use.
Use SNAIL Adhesive and a Mini Stampin' Dimensional to adhere the sentiment cut out to the front of the card so the left end of the sentiment overlaps the lower right side of the flower.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick tool to pick up large clear droplet from a sheet of Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplets being sure to get the adhesive as well. Adhere it to the upper right corner of the card front.
