Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Mossy Meadow Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock
- 2-1/2" x 4" of daisies and daffodils and greenery on black background design from Daffodil Afternoon 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut so the greenery is vertical on the horizontal rectangle
- 2-3/4" x 4" from Mossy Meadow Cardstock
- 2" x 3" from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock
- 3-1/2" square from Daffodil Delight Cardstock
- 3-1/2" square from Crushed Curry Cardstock
Adhere the piece of Daffodil Afternoon Designer Paper to the bottom of the large Pear Pizzazz vertical rectangle.
Cut a 4-1/2" piece of the White 3/4" Frayed Ribbon.
Put a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive horizontally across the cardstock/designer paper rectangle along the seam between the two pieces. Remove the protective backing and adhere the ribbon piece horizontally across the rectangle.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off excess ribbon on the right and left edges.
Adhere the designer paper/cardstock/ribbon rectangle to the front of the Mossy Meadow card.
Pick out the scalloped, stitched rectangle die that cuts out a rectangle that is 2-1/2" x 3-5/8" from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Put it on top of the Mossy Meadow rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Pick out the scalloped, stitched rectangle die that cuts out a rectangle that is 1-5/8" x 2-3/4" from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Put it on top of the small Pear Pizzazz rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
As you are ready to stamp using the Special Moments 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 "with sympathy" sentiment from the Special Moments Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Mossy Meadow Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the horizontal Pear Pizzazz rectangle cut out.
Adhere the sentiment rectangle cut out horizontally across the center of the vertical Mossy Meadow rectangle cut out.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the layered rectangles to the front of the card so the small, sentiment rectangle cut out is centered over the ribbon on the card front.
Pick out the solid daffodil petals base, one of the solid daffodil flutes, and the solid daffodil bud dies from the Daffodil Dies. Put them all on top of the Daffodil Delight square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine.
Pick out the detailed daffodil petals base, one of the detailed daffodil flutes, and the detailed daffodil bud dies from the Daffodil Dies. Put them all on top of the Crushed Curry square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces if needed.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the detailed daffodil cut out pieces to the corresponding solid daffodil cut out pieces.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to trim down the bump at the top of the layered daffodil petals base so it won't show behind the flute.
Adhere the layered daffodil flute to the top of the layered daffodil petals base.
Adhere the layered daffodil flower to the front of the card so it overlaps the top right corner of the small Pear Pizzazz sentiment rectangle cut out as shown.
Adhere the layered daffodil bud to the front of the card so it tucks under the top of the small Pear Pizzazz sentiment rectangle cut out and the left petal on the base of daffodil flower as shown.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large and 2 small Mint Macaron gems from a sheet of Genial Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the lower left corner of the Mossy Meadow rectangle cut out as shown.
