Simply Succulents Shimmer Succulents |
P retty, shimmery thank you card using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock, designer paper, and glimmer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Parakeet Party Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Garden Green Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" of Parakeet Party plaid design from 2022-2024 In Color 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Assortment
- 3-1/2" x 4-1/2" of Parakeet Party glimmer paper from 2022-2024 In Color 6" x 6" Glimmer Paper
- 1-3/4" x 2-1/4" from Crumb Cake Cardstock
- 1-1/2" square from Garden Green Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 2" from Parakeet Party Cardstock
DO THIS NEXT STEP FIRST! This will allow the ink time to dry on the glimmer paper.
Mount the large grouping of succulents image from the Simply Succulents Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Garden Green Ink Pad and stamp it in the center of the glimmer paper rectangle. Set aside to allow to dry.
Adhere the Parakeet Party plaid designer paper to the center of the large Garden Green rectangle. Then, adhere it to the front of the Parakeet Party card.
Pick out the set of 4 photo corners with scroll work die from the Fabulous Frames Dies. Put it on top of the Garden Green square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so you will cut out one set of two photo corners. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces if needed.
Note: You are using only one of the photo corner cut outs for this project. Keep the other photo corner cut out for use on another project.
Adhere one photo corner cut out to the upper left corner of the designer paper rectangle as shown.
Mount the flower pot image from the Simply Succulents Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Soft Suede Ink Pad and stamp it in the center of the Crumb Cake rectangle.
Adhere the flower pot cut out to the bottom of the card front so it is about 1-1/8" from the right edge and about 5/8" from the bottom edge.
Pick out the large grouping of succulents die from the Potted Succulents Dies. Put it on top of the stamped grouping of succulents on the glimmer paper on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the image is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Adhere the succulents cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the top of the flower pot cut out and is about 3/4" from the right edge.
Mount the "thanks" sentiment from the Simply Succulents Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Garden Green Ink Pad and stamp it in the center of the small Parakeet Party rectangle.
Pick out the small label die from the Potted Succulents Dies. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the sentiment is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment label cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the center of the right edge of the flower pot cut out as shown.
Cut a 6-1/2" piece of the Parakeet Party 1/8" Metallic Woven Ribbon.
Fold the ribbon in half. Tie a half knot in the center of the folded ribbon. Trim the ends and fray them.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card so it is centered over the lower left corner of the flower pot cut out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up three brass or champagne flowers from the sheet of Flowers Trinkets. Adhere them to the front of the card over the centers of some of the larger succulents in the grouping as shown.
