As you are ready to stamp using the Thanks A Bunch Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Put a piece of Grid Paper on top of the Mat to protect it from ink.
Mount the scattering of dots image from the Thanks A Bunch Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Pumpkin Pie Ink Pad. Stamp it randomly all around the outside edge of the vertical 4" x 5-1/4" Mango Melody 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. Don't worry about stamping in the center of the rectangle as that will be covered.
Adhere the stamped Mango Melody rectangle to the front of the Pumpkin Pie card.
Pick out the stitched rectangle die that cuts out a rectangle that is 3" x 4-3/8" from the Stitched Rectangles Dies. Put it on the orange plaid designer paper piece on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered. Run through the machine.
Adhere the plaid designer paper rectangle cut out to the front of the card so it is centered top to bottom and the left edge is about 1/2" from the left side of the card.
Pick out the stitched rectangle die that cuts out a rectangle that is 1-7/8" x 3-1/8" from the Stitched Rectangles Dies. Put it on the orange stars designer paper piece on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered. Run through the machine.
Adhere the stars designer paper rectangle cut out to the front of the card so it is centered top to bottom on the plaid designer paper rectangle and the left edge is about 1/2" from the left edge of the plaid designer paper rectangle.
Mount the large, more solid carrot image from the Thanks A Bunch Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Calypso Coral Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the vertical white rectangle so the bottom tip of the carrot is about 1/4" from the bottom.
Mount the large, more detailed carrot stripes image from the Thanks A Bunch Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Pumpkin Pie Ink Pad. Stamp it over the top of the previously stamped carrot image so the right edges line up.
Pick out the stitched rectangle die that cuts out a rectangle that is 1-3/4" x 3-3/4" from the Stitched Rectangles Dies. Put it on the carrot stamped white rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the carrot is centered side to side and the bottom tip is close to the bottom edge. Run through the machine.
Adhere the carrot rectangle cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the right edges of the designer paper rectangles with the right edge of the carrot rectangle being about 1/2" from the right edge of the card. The top of the carrot rectangle should be about 3/8" from the top of the plaid designer paper rectangle.
Unlock the Happy Labels Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of the thin Mango Melody strip into the right side of the punch (the side of the punch with the large, squared off indents) as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch. Repeat with the other end of the strip.
Mount the sentiment of choice from the Thanks A Bunch Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Pumpkin Pie Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the thin Mango Melody punched strip.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the punched sentiment strip to the front of the card so it overlaps the carrot rectangle and stars rectangle as shown. The bottom of the punched strip should be about 1" from the bottom of the plaid designer paper rectangle.
Mount the solid large leaf image from the Thanks A Bunch Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Garden Green Ink Pad. Stamp it on the long, skinny strip of white. Stamp it again without re-inking. Re-ink the stamp and stamp off onto Grid Paper before stamping again on the white strip. Leave room between the images so you can cut them out.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut out the leaves by hand.
Use a small amount of Stampin' Seal or Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen along the bottom edge of the leaves to adhere them to the top of the carrot so they overlap with the darker green leaf being on top in the center.
Cut a 10" piece of the Garden Green twine from the Three Twine Combo Pack.
Tie a small bow in the center of the twine. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the twine bow to the front of the card in the notch formed between the sentiment strip and the carrot rectangle cut out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large gold sequin from the sheet of Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins making sure you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the top of the carrot at the base of the leaves.
