P retty thank you card using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock and Foil Sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Misty Moonlight Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Seaside Spray Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Silver Foil Sheets
- 3" square from Misty Moonlight Cardstock
- 3" square from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" from Seaside Spray Cardstock
- scrap of Whisper White Cardstock
Insert the Silver Foil Sheets rectangle into the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder. Use the line drawn on the front of the embossing folder to help line the cardstock up straight. Place the folder with the paper inside on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine platform and run through the machine.
Adhere the dry embossed Silver Foil Sheets rectangle to the large Seaside Spray rectangle using strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Adhere the matted foil sheet rectangle to the front of the Misty Moonlight card.
As you are ready to stamp using the Country Home 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 "you are the happy to my day" sentiment from the Country Home Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Misty Moonlight Ink Pad. Stamp it on the white square so it is slightly right of center. Leave room to cut out the circle.
Pick out the smooth circle die that cuts out a smooth circle that is 2-3/8" diameter from the Layering Circles Dies. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the sentiment is centered top to bottom and is on the right side of the circle. Run through the tool.
Pick out the smooth circle die that cuts out a smooth circle that is 2-5/8" diameter from the Layering Circles Dies. Put it on top of the Misty Moonlight square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the tool.
Adhere the sentiment circle die cut out to the center of the Misty Moonlight circle die cut out.
Use strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the matted sentiment circle to the lower left side of the card front. The bottom of the circles should be about 3/4" from the bottom of the card and the left side of the circles should be about 3/4" from the left side of the card.
Mount the milk can image from the Country Home Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Misty Moonlight Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Seaside Spray rectangle.
Shake the bottle of Frost White Shimmer Paint while the lid is on tight. Remove the lid and place it on some Grid Paper on your work surface open end up. Poke a Sponge Dauber down into the lid to pick up some of the shimmer paint.
Daub the Sponge Dauber with Shimmer Paint on it all over the stamped milk can image on the Seaside Spray rectangle until you have the coverage you want. Get more Shimmer Paint on the Dauber as needed.
Use Paper Snips to cut out the milk can image by hand.
Mount the tiny oval label image from the Country Home Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Misty Moonlight Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white cardstock scrap.
Mount the tiny "hello," "enjoy," "love," or "thanks" sentiment from the Country Home Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Misty Moonlight Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the previously stamped oval tag image on the white cardstock scrap.
Use Paper Snips to cut out the sentiment oval tag by hand.
Adhere the sentiment oval tag cut out to the milk can cut out so it is centered over the band just below the handles.
Cut a 12" piece of the Misty Moonlight/silver Baker's Twine from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack.
Wrap the baker's twine around the top of the milk can cut out and tie it in place on the left side using a small bow. Trim the ends.
Adhere the milk can cut out with twine tied in place to the front of the card so it overlaps the left side of the matted sentiment circle and is even top to bottom.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a large Balmy Blue gem from a sheet of Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the front of the card so it overlaps the lower right corner of the milk can cut out.
