Slide the upper right corner of the white rectangle into the angle of the Detailed Trio Punch that punches the trio of pointy ovals on top of the small dot. Use the guides on the base of the punch to line up the corner in the punch. Press down firmly on the center of the punch to punch.
One at a time, slide each corner of the white rectangle into the angle of the Detailed Trio Punch that corner rounds. Use the guides on the base of the punch to line up the corner in the punch. Press down firmly on the center of the punch to punch.
Fold the Highland Heather card closed. One at a time, slide each corner of the card into the angle of the Detailed Trio Punch that corner rounds. Use the guides on the base of the punch to line up the corner in the punch. Press down firmly on the center of the punch to punch.
As you are ready to stamp using the Daisy Delight 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 "thank you" sentiment from the Daisy Delight Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Highland Heather Ink Pad. Stamp it on the punched white rectangle in the lower right corner. Get the end of the sentiment as close as possible to the right edge of the cardstock. Make sure the corner with the fancy design punched in it is in the upper right corner.
Mount the solid leaf image from the Daisy Delight Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Pear Pizzazz Ink Pad. Stamp once onto Grid Paper. WITHOUT re-inking, stamp the solid leaf image on the white rectangle just above the sentiment at a slight angle with the stem on the left.
Re-ink the stamp. Stamp once onto Grid Paper. WITHOUT re-inking, stamp it again in the lower left corner of the white rectangle so the tip of the leaf almost touches the rounded the corner and the stem is pointing at a slight angle to the right and up.
Re-ink the stamp. Stamp once onto Grid Paper. WITHOUT re-inking, stamp it one more time in the upper left corner of the white rectangle so the tip of the leaf is about 1/2" from the top and the left side of the leaf is about 1/2" from the left side of the white rectangle and the stem is pointing at a slight angle to the right and down.
Mount the outline leaf image from the Daisy Delight Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Pear Pizzazz Ink Pad and stamp it over one of the previously stamped solid leaves. Stamp it two more times over the other two solid leaves remembering to re-ink the stamp each time.
Mount the group of thin stems image from the Daisy Delight Set on Block B at a slight angle so it fits. Ink it up with the Pear Pizzazz Ink Pad. Stamp it on the white rectangle so the tops of the stems are pointing towards the upper right corner and are about 1" from the top of the white rectangle and about 2-1/4" from the right side. The bottoms of the stems should be near the center of a triangle formed by the previously stamped leaves.
Mount the spray of tiny buds image from the Daisy Delight Set on Block A. Ink up the stamp with the Highland Heather Ink Pad. Stamp it repeatedly over the ends of the stems. Stamp some of the images without re-inking. Adjust the angle of the stamp slightly each time.
Adhere the stamped and punch white layer to the front of the corner rounded Highland Heather card.
Unlock the Daisy Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide one side of the Gingham Gala Designer Paper into the punch. Get the punch as close to the edge of the paper as possible. Punch.
Tip: If you have trouble removing the punched daisy without tearing the designer paper, then before removing the designer paper from the punch, slide a piece of copy paper into the punch. Then, slide the designer paper and the copy paper out at the same time. This will keep the pointy edges of the punched piece from catching on the punch and tearing.
Punch another daisy from the other side of the designer paper.
Adhere the two daisy punch outs on top of each other so they are slightly offset to make one big, full daisy.
Adhere the full daisy to the front of the card so it covers the stems of the leaves and the bottom of the stems of lavender.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up one large and one medium Gorgeous Grape dot from a sheet of Glitter Enamel Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere the large dot to the center of the daisy. Adhere the other dot over the dot in the fancy punch out in the upper right corner.
