Pick A Season Spring Rosebush |
P retty spring card using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Granny Apple Green Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Daffodil Delight Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Basic White Cardstock
As you are ready to stamp using the Pick A Season Set or Storybook Life 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 "hello spring" sentiment from the Storybook Life Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Granny Apple Green Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the bottom of the vertical white rectangle as close to the bottom edge as possible.
Mount the smaller tree trunk image from the Pick A Season Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Wild Wheat Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white rectangle just above the previously stamped sentiment.
Mount the large tree top image with empty spaces from the Pick A Season Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Granny Apple Green Ink Pad. Stamp it on the white rectangle so it is centered over the top of the tree trunk and the large, double empty space is on the bottom.
Mount the group of three small roses image from the Pick A Season Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Daffodil Delight Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of one of the empty spaces in the tree top. Re-ink the stamp and fill in the rest of the empty spaces. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle to the center of the Daffodil Delight rectangle and then to the front of the Granny Apple Green card.
Cut a 16" piece of the Lemon Lolly twine included in the Baker's Twine Three Color Pack.
Fold the twine in half. Tie a small bow in the center of the folded twine. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the twine bow to the front of the card so it is centered over the tree trunk.
Put two tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the card front as shown.
Use the putty tip of the Take Your Pick to pick out two bee trinkets from the Tiny Bee Trinkets. Adhere them to the drops of liquid glue at a slight angle.
