- 4" x 5-1/4" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 2-1/2" x 3-3/4" of outlined leaves on green background design from Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" from Very Vanilla Cardstock

- 1-3/4" x 3-1/4" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
As you are ready to stamp using the Magnolia Blooms Photopolymer Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Put some paper (Grid Paper works great) on top of the mat to protect it from ink.
Mount the open magnolia bloom image from the Magnolia Blooms Photopolymer Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Mossy Meadow Ink Pad. Stamp in the upper left and bottom right corners of the 4" x 5-1/4" vanilla rectangle. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Change the orientation of the stamp. Let some of the images go off the edges. Leave the stamp on the block.
Mount the magnolia bud with leaves image from the Magnolia Blooms Photopolymer Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Mossy Meadow Ink Pad. Stamp in the upper left corner of the 4" x 5-1/4" vanilla rectangle around the previously stamped bloom a couple of times. Then, stamp it once in the lower right corner above the previously stamped bloom. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Change the orientation of the stamp. Let some of the images go off the edges.
Adhere the stamped vanilla rectangle to the front of the Mossy Meadow card.
Re-ink the open magnolia bloom image on Block D with the Mossy Meadow Ink Pad. Stamp it on the left side of the 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" vanilla rectangle at an angle.
Re-ink the magnolia bud with leaves image on Block B with the Mossy Meadow Ink Pad. Stamp it in the upper right corner of the 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" vanilla rectangle so the stem touches the right side of the previously stamped magnolia bloom.
Adhere the stamped vanilla rectangle to the center of the Magnolia Lane Designer Paper rectangle.
Unlock the Timeless Label Punch. Slide in the Mossy Meadow strip and punch.
Adhere the Timeless Label punch out to the matted vanilla/designer paper rectangle in the lower right corner so the bottom edge of the punch out is even with the bottom edge of the designer paper and the right edge of the punch out is even with the right edge of the designer paper.
Cut a 4-1/4" piece of Very Vanilla 3/8" Scalloped Lace Trim.
Lay the trim across the bottom of the matted vanilla rectangle/designer paper so it is centered across the Timeless Label punch out. Secure in place on the back with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add SNAIL to the back of the designer paper. Adhere to the front of the card in the center.
Mount the "thank you" or "happy birthday" sentiment from the Magnolia Blooms Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Mossy Meadow Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 1-3/4" x 3-1/4" strip of vanilla cardstock on one end.
Unlock the 1-1/2" Circle Punch. Hold the punch upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide in the stamped sentiment, get it centered in the punching area, and punch.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment circle punch out to the front of the card so it is centered over the trim over the Timeless Label punch out.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of Very Vanilla 3/8" Scalloped Lace Trim.
Slide one end of the small piece of trim under the ribbon already on the card front on the right side of the sentiment circle punch out. Tie in place using a half knot. Trim the ends.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick tool to pick up a small Gold Faceted Gem being sure to get adhesive as well. Adhere to the magnolia bloom center.
Pick out a single, silver leaf from the Leaves Trinkets. Adhere it to the card front using a Mini Glue Dot so the stem of the trinket is tucked under the lower right side of the sentiment circle punch out.
