Winter Owls Floating Moon Owl Thanks |
P retty thank you card using the floating circle technique and Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock, designer paper, and Window Sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Basic White Thick Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Balmy Blue Cardstock
- 3" square from Window Sheets
- 2 pieces each 7/8" x 3" of white snow dots on blue background design from A Walk In The Forest 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 7/8" x 3" of white snowflakes on blue background design from A Walk In The Forest 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 3-1/4" square from Basic White Cardstock
- 2-1/8" x 2-3/4" from Basic White Cardstock
As you are ready to stamp using the Season Of Chic Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the "thanks" sentiment from the Season Of Chic Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Balmy Blue Ink Pad. Stamp it on the bottom of the vertical Balmy Blue rectangle in the center.
Adhere the stamped blue rectangle to the front of the Basic White Thick card.
Adhere the strips of A Walk In The Forest Designer Paper across the Window Sheets square so they have a small gap between the strips and the two strips with the white snow dots are on the top and bottom.
Pick out the circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies that cuts out a 2-9/16" diameter circle. Put it on top of the Window Sheet square with strips attached on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine a few times. You may need to use Paper Snips Scissors to finish cutting the circle cut out loose.
Adhere the floating strips circle cut out to the front of the card so it is 7/8" from the top and about 3/8" from the left side.
Pick out the large, detailed, flying owl die from the Winter Owls Dies. Put it on top of the white square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool and Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Pick out both of the large, detailed, wing dies from the Winter Owls Dies. Put them on top of the white strip on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool and Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the wing cut outs to the back of the owl cut out so they stick out from behind the wings as shown.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals and Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the owl cut out with wing cut outs attached to the front of the card as shown so it overlaps the lower right side of the floating strips circle.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 5 small and large blue sequins from the sheet of Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the card front as shown.
