Linked Together Enjoy Butterflies |
P retty card perfect for lots of occasions using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Berry Burst Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Bubble Bath Cardstock
- 2-1/2" x 3-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-1/4" x 3" from Berry Burst Cardstock
Rub a Sponge Dauber across the open Berry Burst Ink Pad to get it inky. Rub the inky dauber onto the large butterfly image on the inside of the front flap (side with the logo and line printed on it) of the embossing folder included in the Beautiful Butterflies Hybrid Embossing Folder. Get more ink on the Sponge Dauber as needed.
Carefully insert the Bubble Bath rectangle into the inky folder so the butterflies are horizontal on the horizontal rectangle and the large, inky butterfly is as close to the upper right corner as possible. Use the line printed on the front flap of the folder to make sure it is lined up straight. Place the folder with the cardstock inside on the platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.
Note: When you are done, run the embossing folder and the Sponge Dauber under running water until all the ink is washed off/out and allow to air dry.
Adhere the dry embossed Bubble Bath with large inked butterfly to the front of the Berry Burst card.
As you are ready to stamp using the Linked Together Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the "enjoy" sentiment from the Linked Together Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Berry Burst Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the horizontal white rectangle.
Pick out the large oval die from the Linked Together Dies. Put it on top of the sentiment stamped rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the sentiment. Run through the machine.
Adhere the sentiment oval cut out to the lower left corner of the card front as shown.
Pick out the set of four connected smaller flowers die from the Linked Together Dies. Put it on top of the Berry Burst strip 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 as needed.
Adhere three of the flowers to the card front as shown using liquid glue. Adhere the fourth in place using a Mini Stampin' Dimensional.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 4 small Bubble Bath sequins from a sheet of Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the centers of the flower cut outs.
