Heart Shaped Clover Luck |
S parkly good luck card using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock, glimmer paper, and Adhesive Sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Old Olive Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 3 pieces each 2-1/2" x 2-3/4" of Granny Apple Green glimmer paper from Festive 12" x 12" Glimmer Paper
- 3 pieces each 2-3/8" x 2-5/8" from Adhesive Sheets
- 1" square from Calypso Coral Cardstock
As you are ready to stamp using the Heart Shaped Set or Unbounded Love Set, place the cardstock 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 vine heart image from the Heart Shaped Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it in the upper left corner of the vertical vanilla rectangle so it is as close to the top and left edges as possible. Without re-inking stamp it a couple more times slightly off set so you have a very full leaf heart image.
Re-ink the stamp and stamp it just to the right of the first heart overlapping things a bit. The top right lobe of this heart should be right on the right edge of the rectangle. Without re-inking stamp it a couple more times slightly off set so you have a very full leaf heart image.
Re-ink the stamp again and stamp it just below the first heart overlapping things a bit. The top right lobe of this heart should be right on the left edge of the rectangle. Without re-inking stamp it a couple more times slightly off set so you have a very full leaf heart image.
Mount the "best of luck" sentiment from the Unbounded Love Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it in the lower right corner of the vanilla rectangle.
Adhere the stamped vanilla rectangle to the front of the Old Olive card.
One at a time, peel the protective backings off of the Adhesive Sheets rectangles. Adhere one of the Adhesive Sheets rectangles to the white, non-glimmer side of each Granny Apple Green glimmer paper rectangle. Be sure to leave the other protective backings in place for now.
Pick out the leaf vine heart die from the Heart Shaped Dies. Put it on top of one of the rectangles on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the glimmer side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. Keep all the pieces. Repeat with the other 2 rectangles.
Pick out the leaf stem die from the Heart Shaped Dies. Put it on top of one of the center glimmer paper heart cut outs on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the glimmer side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
One at a time, carefully remove the protective backings from the back of the glimmer paper vine heart cut outs. Adhere them to the front of the card as shown so they are centered over each of the stamped vine heart images.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the back of the glimmer paper leaf stem cut out. Adhere it to the front of the card as shown so it makes a stem for the clover.
Pick out the single flower die from the Heart Shaped Dies. Put it on top of the Calypso Coral square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the flower cut out to the center of the clover as shown.
Cut a 10" piece of the gold ribbon from the Gold & Silver 1/8" Trim Combo Pack.
Tie a small bow in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon bow to the front of the card as shown at a slight angle just below the flower in the center of the clover.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a large Pecan Pie dot from a sheet of Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the flower cut out.
