Flowers Of Beauty Green Leaves Wishes |
P retty card perfect for lots of occasions using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock, designer paper, and Adhesive Sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Shy Shamrock Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Summer Splash Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" of whitewashed wood design from Country Woods 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut so the woodgrain is horizontal on the vertical rectangle
- 1-3/4" x 3-1/4" from Shy Shamrock Cardstock
- 1-5/8" x 3-1/8" from Adhesive Sheets
- 1-3/4" x 3-1/4" from Basic Beige Cardstock
As you are ready to stamp using the Unbounded Love Set or Flowers Of Beauty 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. Put a piece of Grid Paper on top of the Mat to protect it from ink.
Mount the more detailed leaves with stems image from the Flowers Of Beauty Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Shy Shamrock Ink Pad. Stamp it on the vertical designer paper piece multiple times as shown leaving the lower right side unstamped. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Change the orientation of the stamp each time. Let some of the images go off the top, left, and bottom edges.
Mount the solid leaves image from the Flowers Of Beauty Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Summer Splash Ink Pad. Stamp it inside each of the previously stamped detailed leaves. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time, but stamp off on Grid Paper before stamping every so often.
Adhere the stamped piece of Country Woods Designer Paper to the center of the Summer Splash rectangle and then to the front of the Shy Shamrock card.
Mount the sentiment of choice that will fit inside the rectangle with leaves die from the Unbounded Love Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Shy Shamrock Ink Pad. Stamp the sentiment on the left side of the horizontal Basic Beige strip leaving room to cut it out with the die.
Pick out the rectangle label with leaves die from the Unbounded Love Dies. Put it on top of the Basic Beige strip on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the sentiment. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. Leave the die out.
Note: You are only using the Basic Beige solid rectangle with the rough right edge and the sentiment stamped on it for this project. If you want, save the outline rectangle with leaves for use on another project.
Peel the protective backing off of the Adhesive Sheets rectangle. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets rectangle to one side of the Shy Shamrock rectangle. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Put the rectangle label with leaves die from the Unbounded Love Dies on top of the Shy Shamrock strip on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the green (Shy Shamrock) side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Note: You are only using the Shy Shamrock outline rectangle with leaves for this project. If you want, save the solid rectangle with ragged right edge for use on another project.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the back of the Shy Shamrock outline rectangle with leaves cut out. Adhere it to the front of the card as shown so it is centered side to side and is about 1-1/4" from the bottom.
Put Stampin' Seal on the back of the Basic Beige sentiment cut out and adhere it inside the outline rectangle already on the card front.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 small and 2 large Shy Shamrock dots from a sheet of 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the card front as shown in a rough triangle above the sentiment rectangle.
Cut an 18" piece of the Linen Thread.
Fold the Linen Thread in half. Tie a small bow in the center of the folded thread. Trim the ends.
Use a squished up Mini Glue Dot to adhere the thread bow to the front of the card as shown so it is centered over the bottom right corner of the outline rectangle with leaves cut out.
