In The Moment Relax and Read |
P retty card for a get well card using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Highland Heather Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Night Of Navy Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8' from Basic White Cardstock
- 2" x 5" of blue medallions on white background design from Heart & Home 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 2-5/8" x 2-7/8" from Night Of Navy Cardstock
- 2-1/2" x 2-3/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 3" of Fresh Freesia design of choice from 2021-2023 In Color 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Assortment
- scraps of 2 other Fresh Freesia designs of choice from 2021-2023 In Color 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Assortment
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the piece of Heart & Home Designer Paper across the bottom of the horizontal 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" white rectangle so about 1/8" of white shows on the left, right, and bottom edges. WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the 2-5/8" x 2-7/8" Night Of Navy rectangle on the left side of the white/designer paper rectangle so it is about 1/8" from the top and left sides.
Mount the "relax" sentiment from the In The Moment Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Night Of Navy Ink Pad. Stamp it just above the designer paper just to the right of the Night Of Navy rectangle. The right edge of the sentiment should be about 1/2" from the right edge of the cardstock and the top of the sentiment should be about 1/2" from the top of the cardstock.
Now, adhere the piece of Heart & Home Designer Paper to the bottom of the stamped white rectangle.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle with designer paper attached to the center of the 4" x 5-1/4" Night Of Navy rectangle.
Cut a 6" piece of the Highland Heather 1/2" Grosgrain Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the matted, stamped cardstock/designer paper rectangle so it covers the seam between the designer paper and cardstock. Flip the rectangle over and secure the ends of the ribbon in place with small strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape and add more adhesive to the back of the Night Of Navy rectangle. Adhere it to the front of the Highland Heather card.
Mount the lady and dog snuggled up with a book image from the In The Moment Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it on the vertical 2-1/2" x 2-3/4" white rectangle in the center. Leave the stamp on the block.
Place the stamped white rectangle on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. You need to make sure that you protect your work surface with paper as the Stampin' Blends Markers do bleed through.
Use the Light and Dark Night Of Navy Stampin' Blends to color in the woman's jeans.
Use the Light and Dark Highland Heather Stampin' Blends to color in the woman's socks, the cover of the book, and the mug.
Use the Light and Dark Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blends and the Dark Highland Heather Stampin' Blends to color in the blanket.
Use the Natural Tones Stampin' Blends of choice to color in the woman's face, neck, fingers, and hair and the dog.
Use the Color Lifter Stampin' Blends as needed to remove excess ink.
Re-ink the lady and dog snuggled up with a book image on Block D with the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp the bottom of the image with the lady's feet and sheets on the top of the 1-1/2" x 3" Fresh Freesia Designer Paper piece. Leave the stamp on the block.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut along the top of the sheet line and around the lady's feet.
Adhere the cut out sheet designer paper image to the bottom of the stamped and colored lady reading image so all the lines match up. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off excess designer paper on the bottom, left, and right edges.
Re-ink the lady and dog snuggled up with a book image on Block D with the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp the edge of the image with the pillows on the 2 scraps of Fresh Freesia Designer Paper so you get the pillows. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut along the edges of the top pillow and around the lady's hair.
Adhere the cut out top pillow designer paper image to the top pillow of the stamped and colored lady reading image so all the lines match up.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut along the edges of the bottom pillow and around the blanket.
Adhere the cut out bottom pillow designer paper image to the bottom pillow of the stamped and colored lady reading image so all the lines match up.
Adhere the stamped, colored, and paper pieced white rectangle to the center of the smaller Night Of Navy rectangle.
Adhere the matted white rectangle in place to the left side of the card.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up one large and two small Fresh Freesia jewels from the sheet of 2021-2023 In Color Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them one over the other in the upper right corner of the card front so the larger jewel is in the center and they are evenly spaced.
