Rustic Crate Vellum Poinsettia Greetings

Supplies needed:

Project Recipe:

1. Cut cardstock, designer paper, foil sheets, and vellum pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
   - card from Pretty Peacock Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
   - 4" x 5-1/4" from Poppy Parade Cardstock
   - 2-1/2" x 5-1/8" of mottled white design from Graceful Greenery Vellum 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper
   - 1-1/2" x 5-1/8" of mottled dark green design from Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper
   - 2-3/4" x 3-1/4" from Gold Foil Sheets
   - 1-3/4" x 3-1/4" of mottled white design from Graceful Greenery Vellum 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper
   - 1-1/4" x 3" from Pecan Pie Cardstock

2. As you are ready to stamp using the Rustic Crate Set or Greetings Of The Season Set, place the cardstock or vellum on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.

3. Mount the script "season's greetings" sentiment from the Greetings Of The Season Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Pretty Peacock Ink Pad. Stamp it on the vertical, large vellum rectangle so it is 3/4" from the top edge and about 1/4" from the right edge. Set aside to allow to dry.

4. Run a line of Stampin' Seal vertically down the vertical Poppy Parade rectangle about 1-5/8" from the left side.

5. Carefully adhere the stamped vellum rectangle to the Poppy Parade rectangle so the sentiment is on the right side and a small amount of Poppy Parade borders the top, right, and bottom edges. Be sure NOT to smudge the ink.

6. Adhere the strip of Perennial Lavender Designer Paper to the left side of the layered Poppy Parade/vellum rectangle covering the left side of the vellum and leaving a small amount of Poppy Parade bordering the top, left, and bottom edges.

7. Cut a 6" piece of the Pretty Peacock & Gold 3/8" Metallic Ribbon.

8. Lay the ribbon across the matted and stamped vellum/designer paper/cardstock rectangle so it coves the seam between the designer paper and the vellum. Fold the ends of the ribbon over and secure the ribbon in place on the back with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.

9. Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add Stampin' Seal to the back of the Poppy Parade rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the front of the Pretty Peacock card.

10. Unlock the 2-3/8" Circle Punch. Hold the punch upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the gold foil sheet into the punch and get it centered in the punching area. Punch.

11. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the gold foil circle punch out to the front of the card as shown so it overlaps the ribbon a bit and is just below the stamped sentiment.

12. Mount the crate image from the Rustic Crate Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Early Espresso Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Pecan Pie rectangle.

13. Pick out the matching crate die from the Rustic Crate Dies. Put it on top of the stamped crate image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the crate is centered in the die. Run through the machine.

14. Adhere the crate cut out to the front of the card as shown so it is centered side to side on the gold circle punch out and is about 3/8" from the bottom of the circle.

15. Mount the group of poinsettias and leaves image from the Rustic Crate Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Saddle Brown StazOn Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small vellum rectangle. Allow to dry for a few minutes.

16. Pick out the matching poinsettias die from the Rustic Crate Dies. Put it on top of the stamped image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the stamped image. Run through the machine.

17. Flip the poinsettia cut out upside down on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface.

18. Use the Dark and Light Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends to color in the flowers.

    Use the Dark and Light Pretty Peacock Stampin' Blends to color in the leaves.

19. Use small dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue behind the centers of the flowers on the colored side to adhere the poinsettia cut out to the front of the card as shown so it is centered side to side on the gold circle and overlaps the top of the crate a bit.

20. Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 2 large Pecan Pie dots from a sheet of Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the centers of the flowers.

21. Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Pretty Peacock & Gold 3/8" Metallic Ribbon.

22. Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.

23. Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card as shown so it is centered over the ribbon already on the card front at the base of the gold circle punch out.
