Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer and Paper Snips:
- card from Sweet Sugarplum Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Old Olive Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Soft Sky Cardstock
- 1-3/4" x 3" from Sweet Sugarplum Cardstock
Place a piece of Grid Paper on top of a Stampin' Pierce Mat to protect it from ink. As you are ready to stamp on the Soft Sky cardstock using the Lots of Lavender 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 outline lavender bouquet image from the Lots of Lavender Set on Block I. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it in the upper left corner of the Soft Sky rectangle so the blooms are pointing down at a slight angle to the right. Try not to stamp the bow and stems at the bottom of the bouquet. Leave the stamp on the block.
Re-ink the stamp with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it again just to the right of the first image and slightly higher. Leave the stamp on the block.
Re-ink the stamp with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it once more just to the right of the second image and slightly lower so the blooms are pointing almost straight down. Make sure not to stamp the bow and stems at the bottom of the bouquet image.
Mount the set of 4 solid leaves image from the Lots of Lavender Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it inside any of the set of four leaves on the previously stamped images. Re-ink the stamp and stamp it inside any more of the leaves as needed. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. If desired, after stamping some of the leaves, you can move the stamp slightly and stamp again without re-inking to get lighter colored leaves.
Mount the set of 2 solid leaves image from the Lots of Lavender Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it inside any of the set of two leaves on the previously stamped images. Re-ink the stamp and stamp it inside any more of the leaves as needed. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. If desired, after stamping some of the leaves, you can move the stamp slightly and stamp again without re-inking to get lighter colored leaves.
Mount the watercolor lavender flowers inside image from the Lots of Lavender Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Sweet Sugarplum Ink Pad and stamp it over one of the previously stamped flowers images. Re-ink the stamp and stamp over the other flowers images, remembering to re-ink the stamp each time.
Mount one of the small scattered leaf groupings images from the Lots of Lavender Set on Block A. Carefully ink up only a couple of the leaves at one end by pressing only them to the edge of the Perfect Plum Ink Pad. Stamp them near the tips of one of the previously stamped sugarplum flowers. Repeat on the tips of the other sugarplum flowers by carefully inking up only a couple of leaves at a time. Leave the stamp on the block.
Ink up the entire stamp with the Perfect Plum Ink Pad and stamp it randomly on top of some of the previously stamped sugarplum flowers. Repeat as desired, remembering to re-ink the stamp each time.
Place the stamped Soft Sky rectangle on the Simply Scored Scoring Tool so the stamped edge is on the right and the blank bottom edge is up against the left edge of the tool.
Use the stylus to dry emboss a line down the bottom of the stamped Soft Sky piece at the 7/8" mark. Then, draw two more lines down it with the stylus at the 1" and 1-1/8" marks.
Adhere the stamped and dry embossed Soft Sky piece to the Old Olive rectangle and then to the front of the Sweet Sugarplum card.
Mount the "Thinking of You" sentiment from the Heartfelt Blooms Set on Block B. Stamp it in the center of the Sweet Sugarplum rectangle.
Pick out the label framelit from the Rose Garden Thinlits. Place the stamped sentiment on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the label framelit on top so it is centered over the sentiment. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the sentiment label cut out to the bottom right of the card front so it is centered over the dry embossed lines.
Cut an 8" piece of Old Olive 1/8" Sheer Ribbon.
Tie a small bow. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the bow to the bottom of the sentiment cut out.
Carefully peel up two large circles from a sheet of Glitter & Clear Epoxy Shapes making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to either side of the sentiment label cut out.
