Rooted In Nature Gold Leaf Thoughts |
T hinking of you card using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock, designer paper, specialty paper, and foil sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Old Olive Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Natural Touch Specialty Paper, cut so the grain is vertical on the vertical rectangle
- 2-3/4" square of swirly gold medallions on green background design from Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/4" square from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 1-1/4" x 2" from Gold Foil Sheets
Adhere the piece of Natural Touch Specialty Paper to the front of the Old Olive card.
Mount the "thinking of you" sentiment from the Rooted In Nature Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Old Olive Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the vanilla square.
Mount the larger, single leaf image from the Rooted In Nature Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Cinnamon Cider Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the vanilla square at an angle over the stamped sentiment so the stem of the leaf is pointing to the bottom left corner.
Adhere the stamped vanilla square to the center of the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper square.
Adhere the matted sentiment square to the front of the card so it is equally distant from the top, left, and right edges.
Pick out the solid, single, small leaf die from the Nature's Roots Dies. Place it on top of the Gold Foil Sheet piece on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine,
Note: This die will only emboss the image of the leaf. It does NOT cut anything out.
Pick out the open, single, small leaf die from the Nature's Roots Dies. Place the previously embossed Gold Foil leaf rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Place the leaf die on top so it is centered over the embossed leaf image. Run through the machine.
Use a small bit of Tear & Tape Adhesive to adhere the leaf cut out to the front of the card at a slight angle so it overlaps the bottom right corner of the matted sentiment square a bit and hangs down and slightly to the right.
Cut a 4" piece of the Fine Art 3/8" Ribbon.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card at a slight angle over the stem of the leaf cut out.
