Mount the "Says, "Thanks!"" sentiment or the "Loves You" sentiment from the This Little Piggy Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Berry Burst Ink Pad. Stamp it on the left side of the small rectangle of Whisper White Cardstock.
Mount the dancing pig with a flower image from the This Little Piggy Set on Block D. Use the Smoky Slate Marker to carefully ink up only the flower, leaf, and stem. Ink up the stem only to just above the pig's hoof. Make a little mark on the block itself with the Marker at the bottom of the stem. Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink. Stamp the flower image on the right side of the small white rectangle beside the sentiment you already stamped. Leave the stamp on the block. You'll use it again soon.
Use the Powder Pink Marker to color in the flower. Use the Pear Pizzazz Marker to color in the center of the flower, the stem, and the leaf.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle to the small rectangle of Berry Burst Cardstock.
Mount the pig lips/hearts/pig tracks image from the This Little Piggy Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Berry Burst Ink Pad. Stamp it across the front of the Whisper White inner card front at a wandering angle from the left to right side. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.
Adhere the mounted sentiment and flower rectangle to the center of the white inner card front.
Fold the Powder Pink outer card using a Bone Folder.
Adhere the stamped white inner card to the center of the back flap of the outer Powder Pink card.
Adhere the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper strip to the short flap on the Powder Pink outer card.
Ink up the dancing pig with flower stamp on Block D with the Basic Gray Archival Ink Pad. Stamp the image in the center of the remaining rectangle of white cardstock so the flower is close to the top of the rectangle.
Mount the sitting pig image from the This Little Piggy Set on Block D. Carefully ink up only the words "This little piggy" using the Berry Burst Marker. Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink and stamp the sentiment on the bottom of the white layer in the center just under the dancing pig image.
Use the Powder Pink Marker to color in the pig. Use the Smoky Slate Marker to color in the pig's hoofs. Use the Pear Pizzazz Marker to color in the grass, flower stem, and leaf. Use the Berry Burst Marker to color in the flower.
Adhere the stamped and colored pig image to the larger rectangle of Berry Burst Cardstock.
Put SNAIL Adhesive on the top ONLY on the back of the Berry Burst rectangle. Adhere to the flap of the outer Powder Pink card so that the matted image covers the sentiment on the inner card. Make sure NOT to get adhesive on the lower parts where it will stick to the inner card.
Add a small Old Olive circle from the Brights Enamel Shapes to the center of the flower.
Cut a 2-1/4" piece of Old Olive 3/8" Mini Chevron Ribbon. Fray one end of the ribbon a bit. Grab one of the straight threads that runs horizontally through the ribbon and gently pull to make the ribbon start to bunch up on itself. Be careful not to pull the thread all the way out.
Adhere one end of the ruffled ribbon to the left side of the pig using a tiny piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Place another piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive across the pig's belly to the right side. Remove the protective backing and adhere the other end of the ruffled ribbon to it so it is folded over on the right side of the pig's body. Press the ruffled ribbon firmly into place.
