Mount the envelope image from the Sending Love Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Petunia Pop Ink Pad. Stamp it randomly all over the horizontal 4" x 5-1/4" Pretty In Pink rectangle. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Change the orientation of the stamp a bit each time. Let some of the images go off the edges of the cardstock.
Mount the "mail" sentiment from the Sending Love Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Petunia Pop Ink Pad. Stamp it randomly all over the horizontal 4" x 5-1/4" Pretty In Pink rectangle filling in the spaces between the previously stamped envelopes. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Change the orientation of the stamp a bit each time. Let some of the images go off the edges of the cardstock.
Adhere the 1-3/4" x 4" strip of Pretty In Pink to the center of the 1-7/8" x 4" strip of Petunia Pop cardstock.
Adhere the matted cardstock strip to the left side of the stamped, horizontal Pretty In Pink rectangle so it is even on the top and bottom edges and is about 3/4" from the left edge.
Adhere the stamped and layered Pretty In Pink rectangle to the front of the Petunia Pop card.
Pick out the die from the Sending Love Dies that cuts out an scores an envelope. Put it on top of the designer paper on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine a couple of times.
Fold the envelope cut out on all score lines. Adhere the two side flaps into the center. Adhere the bottom flap (with the more rounded point) over the side flaps into the center.
Adhere the folded together envelope cut out to the front of the card at a slight angle as shown so it is centered over the Pretty In Pink strip and is about 1-1/4" from the bottom of the card.
Peel the protective backing off of the Adhesive Sheets rectangle. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets rectangle to one side of the 1" x 3" Petunia Pop rectangle. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Pick out the thin ribbon and bow die and one of the sets of tiny, connected hearts dies from the Sending Love Dies. Put them on top of the Petunia Pop rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the Petunia Pop (pink) side is face up. Do NOT let the dies overlap. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to trim the top and bottom ribbon pieces from the thin ribbon and bow cut out.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the back of the trimmed ribbon and bow cut out. Adhere it to the front of the card as shown so it stretches across the bottom of the Pretty In Pink rectangle between the bottom of the envelope and the bottom of the card.
Carefully remove the protective backings from the backs of the tiny heart cut outs. Adhere them to the front of the card as shown over the top of the envelope on the Pretty In Pink strip.
Pick out one of the single, small heart dies from the Sending Love Dies. Put it on top of the small Petunia Pop square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Use a Mini Stampin' Dimensional to adhere the small heart cut out to the front of the card as shown so it overlaps the top of the envelope flap a bit.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large and 2 small Petunia Pop dots from a sheet of 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them randomly to the front of the card to the right of the matted Pretty In Pink strip.
