As you are ready to stamp using the Crafting With You 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 sentiment of choice from the Crafting With You Set on an appropriate size block. Ink it up with the Moody Mauve Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the horizontal 3-3/4" x 5" white rectangle so it is no more than 3/4" from the bottom edge.
Pick out the ruler die from the Crafting With You Dies. Put it on top of the 1" x 3" Wild Wheat rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is near the top edge. Run through the machine. Repeat cutting from the bottom edge so you have two ruler cut outs.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere one ruler cut out along the bottom of the stamped white rectangle so it is centered between the bottom of the sentiment and the bottom of the cardstock and as close as possible to the left edge. Adhere the other ruler cut out to the bottom of the cardstock so it is in line with the first ruler and as close as possible to the end of the first ruler. Use Paper Snips Scissors to trim off any excess on the right side.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle with rulers attached to the center of the 4" x 5-1/4" Wild Wheat rectangle and then to the front of the Moody Mauve card.
Mount the basket image from the Crafting With You Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Wild Wheat Ink Pad. Stamp it along the bottom of the vertical 2-1/4" x 4" Wild Wheat rectangle making sure to leave room to cut it out.
Pick out the matching, open basket die and the solid basket die from the Crafting With You Dies and the stitched square die that cuts out a 1-1/2" square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Put them all on top of the Wild Wheat rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Make sure the open basket die is centered over the stamped basket image. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces as needed. Set all the cut outs aside for now.
Mount the balls of yarn with knitting needles image from the Crafting With You Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Moody Mauve Ink Pad. Stamp it on one side of the horizontal 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" Moody Mauve rectangle making sure to leave room to cut it out.
Pick out the matching, open balls of yarn with knitting needles die, the set of two solid hearts die, and the small open heart die from the Crafting With You Dies. Put them all on top of the Moody Mauve rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Make sure the balls of yarn die is centered over the stamped balls of yarn image. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces as needed. Set all the cut outs aside for now.
Mount the paintbrushes image from the Crafting With You Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Wild Wheat Ink Pad. Stamp it along one end of the horizontal 2" x 4-1/2" white rectangle making sure to leave room to cut it out.
Mount the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine image from the Crafting With You Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Moody Mauve Ink Pad. Stamp it along the other end of the horizontal 2" x 4-1/2" white rectangle making sure to leave room to cut it out.
Pick out the matching, open paintbrushes die and the matching, open Cut & Emboss Machine die from the Crafting With You Dies. Put them both on top of the stamped images on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the dies are centered over the images. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine. Set all the cut outs aside for now.
Use the fine tip of the Moody Mauve Stampin' Write Marker to color in some of the ends of the paintbrushes.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the two baskets and square cut outs onto the top of the card to figure out spacing and placement. Make sure the square is turned to form a diamond.
When happy with the placement of the pieces, adhere the square in place to make a diamond. Adhere the balls of yarn and paintbrushes images to the card front so they will be tucked into the tops of the basket cut outs. Adhere the basket cut outs in place.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine cut out to the front of the card so it is centered over the diamond shape.
Use tiny pieces of Stampin' Dimensionals cut from the edges of the sheet to adhere the two small heart cut outs in place as shown.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the large, skinny heart in place so it overlaps the ruler as shown.
