Place A4 THICK Whisper White in portrait format on trimmer and cut in half at 10.5cm.
Rotate 1 half to Landscape format and score at 14.8cm.
Fold and burnish card - this is an A6 tent-fold, but we are using it in landscape format.
Cut a piece of Lovely Lipstick card to 13.8cm x 9.5cm.
Cut a piece of Whisper White card to 13.5cm x 9.2cm.
Die cut...
Foliage dies from Soft Sea Foam card.
Small flowers, set of 4, from Flirty Flamingo card.
No.3 Scallop Oval* from Lovely Lipstick.
No.3 Smooth edge Oval* from Whisper White.
* I number my ovals from Smallest 1 to Largest 7/8.
Cut a piece of Window Sheet to the same size as your Stamparatus Deluxe mat 18.7cm square. - set to one side... (This piece of Window Sheet should be kept with your Stamparatus and can be re-used many, many times)
Using Stamparatus, place the base infront of you, ensuring logo is right way up.
Now insert the deluxe mat/foam mat into the base, ensuring it is snug to the top right corner and site 'square' Now place a piece of Stamparatus Grid paper on top of the foam mat or deluxe mat (or cut a piece of scrap/copy paper to 18.7cm square and use that) Ensure snug into top right corner and anchor down with magnets (away from bottom left corner)
Lay the large Floral stamp on top of the grid paper in the bottom left corner, vertically, the smooth backside of the stamp should be facing upward. Insert the 1st plate into the top hinge and lower / close onto the stamp to pick it up. Ink up the stamp and lower/close the plate to 'stamp' the image onto the grid paper. Lift the plate up to reveal the 'stamped' image.
Now lay the Foliage stamp directly on top of the FLORAL STAMPED IMAGE ON THE GRID PAPER - again, smooth back of stamp facing UP, line up the stamp, so the 'Foliage' will stamp in the 'gaps' butting right up to the flowers. Once happy with the position, place the 2nd plate into the hinge and lower down over the stamp to pick it up. Open the plate, ink up the stamp and lower the plate again, stamping the image over the Floral image on the grid paper. - ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THE PLACEMENT? If YES, great! Proceed with next step.... If NO, rotate grid paper 90degrees in Stamparatus and repeat the stamping, FLORAL first - LEAVE THIS STAMP IN PLACE ON THE PLATE!
Remove the FOLIAGE stamp from the 2nd plate, and line up again... repeating until happy with placement.
Now insert the window sheet, over the grid paper, again, ensure snug into top right corner of Stamparatus. Anchor with magnets. Stamp BOTH images onto the Window Sheet,
BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE IMAGE ON THE WINDOW SHEET AS IT WILL SMUDGE EASILY.
Insert the cut piece of Whisper White in between the Window Sheet and the Grid paper. You are aiming to stamp across the bottom right corner at an angle ( a lot of the stamped image will be 'off the edge') - To 'stamp', remove the Window sheet and stamp BOTH plates/images as normal.
*** Now, rotate the Whisper white to stamp the next image 'randomly' next to the 1st image, place the window sheet over the Whisper White to 'see' that the new stamped image is next to BUT DOESN'T OVERLAP the 1st - when in the correct position, remove the Window Sheet, and stamp as normal.***
Repeat from *** until you have 'randomly stamped the 2-step floral/foliage image across the bottom 1/3 to 2/3rds of the Whisper White panel - DON'T WORRY if you have white 'gaps' you are going to 'fill' them with the '3 hearts' stamp freehand in Lovely Lipstick Ink.
Glue the stamped panel onto the Lovely Lipstick panel and then directly onto the card front.
Stamp the desired sentiment onto the oval in Lovely Lipstick ink. Place a folded piece of Polka trim behind the White Oval, so it points out from the lower right edge - glue the Lovely Lipstick scalloped Oval behind the White ova; - effectively 'sandwiching' the ribbon trim.
Arrange the foliage/flowers, glue on with tiny dots of Tombow glue.
Finally add the Oval to card front with dimensionals and add rhinestones to the flower centres.
