As you are ready to stamp using the Sending Smiles 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 small stem with two leaves image from the Sending Smiles Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Soft Succulent Ink Pad. Stamp the image on the bottom of the vertical white rectangle so it is centered side to side and is about 1/4" from the bottom edge.
Mount the larger, flatter flower image from the Sending Smiles Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Orchid Oasis Ink Pad. Stamp it on the top of the previously stamped stem and leaves on the white strip.
Mount the simple oval flower center image from the Sending Smiles Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Soft Succulent Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the stamped flower.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle to the center of the 1-7/8" x 5-1/4" Soft Succulent strip. The top and bottom edges will be even.
Adhere the matted, stamped white strip to the Orchid Oasis floral designer paper rectangle so it is about 1/4" from the left edge. The top and bottom edges will be even.
Cut a 4-3/4" inch piece of the Soft Succulent 1/2" Satin Shimmer Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the bottom of the matted, stamped, and layered cardstock/designer paper rectangle so it is about 1/2" from the bottom. Fold the ends of the ribbon over and secure the ribbon in place on the back with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add Stampin' Seal to the back of the designer paper rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the front of the Orchid Oasis card.
Pick out the more solid "sending" word die from the Sending Dies. Put it on top of the 2" x 3-3/4" Soft Succulent rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Peel the protective backing off of the Adhesive Sheets rectangle. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets rectangle to the white side of the Orchid Oasis glimmer paper rectangle. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Pick out the more detailed "sending" word die from the Sending Dies. Put it on top of the Orchid Oasis glimmer paper rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the glimmer side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the detailed "sending" word glimmer cut out. Adhere it to the center of the more solid "sending" word cut out.
Mount the sentiment of choice from the Sending Smiles Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Orchid Oasis Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the skinny Soft Succulent strip slightly closer to the left side.
Pick out the longer, skinny label die from the Sending Dies. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the sentiment is centered top to bottom in the die and is closer to the left edge. Run through the machine.
Adhere the sentiment label cut out to the front of the card about 1-1/2" from the top edge so the left edge almost touches the left edge of the stamped white strip.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the layered "sending" word cut out to the front of the card so it is just above the sentiment label cut out and the tail of the "g" hangs over the right end of the sentiment label cut out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 small Starry Sky or Orchid Oasis dot from the sheet of 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the front of the card as the dot on the "i" in the word "sending" cut out.
Cut a 4" inch piece of the Soft Succulent 1/2" Satin Shimmer Ribbon.
Slide one end of the ribbon under the ribbon already on the card front. Tie in place with a half knot. Trim the ends. Center the knot over the stem.
