So Refreshing Sweetest Gingham Picnic

Supplies needed:

Project Recipe:

1. Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
   - card from Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
   - 4" x 5-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
   - 2" x 5-1/4" from Blueberry Bushel Cardstock
   - 1-7/8" x 5-1/4" of larger Lemon Lime Twist plaid design from Glorious Gingham 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
   - 1-3/4" x 4-1/4" of small Blueberry Bushel gingham design from Glorious Gingham 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
   - 3-1/2" square from Basic White Cardstock
   - 2-3/4" x 3-1/2" from Basic White Cardstock

2. As you are ready to stamp using the So Refreshing Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Put a piece of Grid Paper on top of the Mat to protect it from ink.

3. Mount the sentiment of choice from the So Refreshing Set on an appropriate size block. Ink it up with the Calypso Coral Ink Pad. Stamp the sentiment in the upper right corner of the vertical 4" x 5-1/4" white rectangle so it is as close as possible to the right edge and is about 1/2" from the top.

4. Adhere the strip of Lemon Lime Twist Glorious Gingham Designer Paper to the center of the Blueberry Bushel strip. The top and bottom edges will be even.

5. Adhere the matted designer paper strip to the left side of the stamped white rectangle so about 1/8" of white shows on the left side. The top and bottom edges will be even.

6. Adhere the stamped white rectangle with matted designer paper attached to the front of the Lemon Lime Twist card.

7. Pick out the solid blanket with tassels die from the So Refreshing Dies. Put it on top of the Blueberry Bushel Glorious Gingham Designer Paper rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces as needed.

8. Adhere the blanket cut out to the front of the card so it is centered side to side and the bottom of the bottom tassel is about 3/8" from the bottom of the card.

9. Mount the stem image from the So Refreshing Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad. Stamp it on one side of the 3-1/2" white square leaving room to cut the image out. Re-ink the image and stamp it on the other side of the square leaving room to cut it out.

10. Pick out the matching open stem die from the So Refreshing Dies. Put it on top of the white square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over one of the stem images. Run through the machine. Repeat with the other stem image.

11. Mount the outline, bunch of lilies image from the So Refreshing Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Calypso Coral Ink Pad. Stamp it over the top of one of the stem cut outs filling in the spaces at the top. Repeat with the other stem cut out remembering to re-ink the stamp.

12. Mount the solid, bunch of lilies image from the So Refreshing Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Calypso Coral Ink Pad. Stamp once on Grid Paper. WITHOUT RE-INKING, stamp it over the top of one of the previously stamped outline lilies images at the top of a stem. Repeat with the other stem cut out remembering to re-ink the stamp and stamp once on Grid Paper before stamping on the stem..

13. Adhere the lily stem cut outs to the front of the card as shown so they overlap each other and the top of the blanket cut out and are just below the sentiment. The stems should stick off to the left side.

14. Mount the full, outline only pitcher image from the So Refreshing Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Blueberry Bushel Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the horizontal 2-3/4" x 3-1/2" white rectangle leaving room to cut the image out.

15. Mount the solid, liquid in the bottom of the pitcher image from the So Refreshing Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad. Stamp it inside the bottom of the previously stamped outline pitcher image.

16. Mount the solid, set of two small lemons image from the So Refreshing Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad. Stamp it in a blank space on the white rectangle leaving room to cut it out.

17. Mount the outline, set of two small lemons image from the So Refreshing Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad. Stamp it over the top of the previously stamped set of two solid limes.

18. Mount the small, circular citrus slice image from the So Refreshing Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad. Stamp it in a blank area on the white rectangle leaving room to cut it out.

19. Pick out the matching open pitcher die; the matching open small set of two lemons die; and the small circle die from the So Refreshing Dies. Put them all on top of the white rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so they are all centered over the matching stamped images.. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine.

20. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut a small slit half way into the lime slice cut out.

21. Slide the cut lime slice cut out onto the top of the limeade pitcher cut out as shown.

22. Adhere the limeade pitcher with lime slice attached to the front of the card so it is on the upper left corner of the blanket cut out and covers the stems of the flowers.

23. Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the set of two little limes cut out to the front of the card as shown so it overlaps the bottom right side of the pitcher and the bottoms of the flowers.
