Leaf Collection Soft Leaves Thanks |
S oft thank you card using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock and glimmer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock
- 2" x 2-3/4" of Granny Apple Green glimmer paper from Festive 12" x 12" Glimmer Paper
Mount the Leaf Collection stamp on Block F. Leave the stamp rubber side up on your work surface and press the open Soft Sea Foam Ink Pad all over it.
Leave the stamp inky rubber side up on your work surface. Carefully place the white rectangle on top of the inky stamp so it is centered. Place a piece of Grid Paper on top of the cardstock/inky rubber and rub firmly all over. Remove the Grid Paper and the inked up cardstock rectangle.
Place the stamped white rectangle on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface.
Rub a Blending Brush across the open Soft Sea Foam Ink Pad to get it inky. Lightly rub the inky Blending Brush all over the stamped white rectangle. Get more ink on the Blending Brush as needed.
Adhere the stamped and blended white rectangle to the front of the Soft Sea Foam card.
Pick out the larger rectangle with notched corners label die from the Something Fancy Dies. Put it on top of the Soft Sea Foam rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Adhere the label cut out to the front of the card in the center.
Pick out the connected sentiments die from the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder. Put it inside the Embossing Folder from the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder so it fits into the grooves around the corresponding sentiments cut into the inside of the top flap (the one with the line and logo printed on it) of the Embossing Folder. Place the glimmer paper rectangle into the layered dies/embossing folder so it is centered over the "thank you" sentiment area and the glimmer side is face up when you close the folder and can see the line and logo printed on the front flap. Close the folder and put it on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. This will cut out and emboss the word image at the same time.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment cut out to the center of the label cut out on the front of the card.
Cut a 10" piece of the Petal Pink ribbon included in the Petal Pink & White 1/4" Diagonal 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 to the front of the card at a slight angle as shown so it overlaps the bottom left corner of the label cut out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large and 2 small Pretty In Pink gems from a sheet of Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the card front as shown in a rough triangle in the upper right corner.
