Cut card stock and designer series paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Flirty Flamingo Card Stock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Whisper White Card Stock
- 1-1/2" x 5-1/4" of white dots on marbled pink background design from Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper
- 1-1/2" x 8" from Whisper White Card Stock
Mount the "May all your tomorrows be as happy as today." sentiment from the Colorful Seasons Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Peekaboo Peach Ink Pad. Stamp it on the top of the large Whisper White rectangle at a slight angle so that the left side of the sentiment is about 1/2" from the left side of the card stock.
Adhere the Fruit Stand Designer Paper strip to the bottom of the stamped white layer.
Cut a 6" piece of the Flirty Flamingo 3/8" Ruched Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon piece across the card front so it hides the seam between the designer paper and the card stock. Flip the card front over and fold the ends of the ribbon over. Adhere them in place with pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive across the ends.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strips and add more SNAIL to the back of the card front. Adhere the card front to the front of the Flirty Flamingo card.
Cut a 4" piece of the ribbon. Slip it under the ribbon on the card front on the left side. Tie it in place using a half knot. Trim the ends.
Mount the small solid leaf image from the Colorful Seasons Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the white strip. Without re-inking, stamp it again on the white strip leaving a little bit of space between the two images.
Mount one of the small solid flower images on Block A. Ink it up with the Peekaboo Peach Ink Pad. Now, carefully roll the edges of the stamp across the open Flirty Flamingo Ink Pad. This is the "rock & roll" technique. Stamp the flower on the white strip leaving some space between it and the light leaf.
Mount another of the small solid flower images on Block A. Ink it up with the Peekaboo Peach Ink Pad. Now, carefully roll the edges of the stamp across the open Flirty Flamingo Ink Pad. Stamp the flower on the white strip leaving some space between it and the first stamped flower.
Mount the last of the small solid flower images on Block A. Ink it up with the Peekaboo Peach Ink Pad. Now, carefully roll the edges of the stamp across the open Flirty Flamingo Ink Pad. Stamp the flower on the end of the white strip leaving some space between it and the second stamped flower.
Pick out the matching flower framelits and small leaf framelit from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits. Place the stamped white strip on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the flower framelits on top of the stamped flowers so they are centered over the stamped images. Place the small leaf framelit over one of the stamped leaves so it is centered over the stamped image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Remove the images from the framelits. Put away the flower framelits.
Place the stamped white strip back on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the small leaf framelit over the remaining stamped leaf so it is centered over the stamped image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Remove the leaf from the framelit and put the framelit away.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals (or small pieces cut from the side of a Dimensionals sheet) to adhere the flowers in a bunch just to the right of the stamped sentiment on the card front. Let the flowers overlap a bit.
Adhere the leaves to the card front using SNAIL. Tuck the ends of the leaves under the right side of the flower bunch and let the leaves overlap a bit.
