Project Recipe:

   - 1-1/4" x 5" from Basic White Cardstock
   - 1-1/2" x 4" from Old Olive Cardstock
   - 1-3/8" x 3-7/8" from Adhesive Sheets

2. As you are ready to stamp using the Delightful Wishes Set or Storybook Life Set, place the cardstock or designer paper on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.

3. Mount the "Easter Blessings" sentiment from the Storybook Life Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it on the bottom of the vertical, diagonal stripes Floral Delight Designer Paper rectangle so it is centered side to side and is about 3/8" from the bottom.

4. Adhere the stamped designer paper rectangle to the front of the Daffodil Delight card.

5. Pick out the group of connected four-petal flowers die from the Delightful Wishes Dies. Put it on top of the vertical yellow gingham Floral Delight Designer Paper rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered side to side near the top. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. Put the die back on top of the designer paper rectangle so it is centered side to side and is just below the previously cut area. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.

6. Peel the protective backing off of the Adhesive Sheets rectangle. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets rectangle to one side of the Old Olive rectangle. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.

7. Pick out the tall, thin branch die from the Delightful Wishes Dies. Put it on top of the Old Olive rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the Old Olive (green) side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.

8. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off the bottom branch completely and to cut down the other three branches so they aren't as long.

9. Carefully remove the protective backing from the back of the branch cut out. Adhere it to the center of the cut designer paper rectangle so it is centered side to side and the top branch is about 1/2" from the top. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off excess stem along the bottom edge as needed.

10. Using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin' Seal, adhere the cut designer paper rectangle with stem attached to the front of the card as shown so it is centered side to side and centered between the top of the card and the top of the sentiment.

11. Mount the more solid single flower image from the Delightful Wishes Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Delightful Daffodil Ink Pad. Stamp off on Grid Paper.

12. Mount the more detailed single flower image from the Delightful Wishes Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Daffodil Delight Ink Pad. Stamp it over the top of the previously stamped flowers. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.

Put them on top of the corresponding images on the white strip on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Do NOT let the dies overlap. Run through the machine. Repeat with the flower die and remaining two flower images.

15. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the flower cut outs to the ends of the branches on the card front as shown.

16. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the leaves cut out to the left side of the stem near the bottom as shown.

17. Cut an 8" piece of the Daffodil Delight 1/8" Satin Ribbon.

18. Tie a small bow in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.

19. Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon bow to the front of the card as shown so it is centered over the bottom of the stem.
