Project Recipe
Cut cardstock, designer paper, and Foil Sheets pieces to the following sizes using a cutting and scoring tool:
- card from Old Olive Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Granny Apple Green Cardstock
- 3-1/4" square of lines of shiny vines on Old Olive background from Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper
- 3" square of Granny Apple Green Cardstock
- 2" x 3-1/4" of Old Olive foil from Noble Peacock Foil Sheets
- 1-1/2" x 3-3/4" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 5" from Whisper White Cardstock
Pick out the detailed fern die from the Tropical Dies. Put it in the upper right corner of the large Granny Apple Green rectangle on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the stem is pointing towards the center of the rectangle and the top of the fern die almost touches the upper and right edges. Run through the tool. Use the Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tools on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. Keep the die out for use on later step.
Tip: Keep the cut out fern for use on a later project.
Insert the large Granny Apple Green rectangle with the fern cut out of the right corner into the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. Use the line drawn on the front flap of the folder to help you line the cardstock up straight. Run the folder with the cardstock inside through your die cutting and embossing tool.
Put the Old Olive Foil Sheets rectangle on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool with the shiny foil side facing up.
Pick out the open fern die from the Tropical Dies. Place it in the center of the foil sheets rectangle. Put the detailed fern die inside the open fern die. Run through the tool. Use the Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tools on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. Keep both pieces.
Pick out the square tropical leaves die from the Tropical Dies. Put it in the center of the Granny Apple Green square on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Run through the tool. Use the Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tools on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Using SNAIL, adhere the tropical leaves square cut out to the center of the Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Paper square.
Lay the foil fern cut out pieces on top of the large, cut and dry embossed Granny Apple Green rectangle so the outline foil fern cut out overlaps the fern cut into the Granny Apple Green rectangle and the detailed foil fern cut out is in the lower right corner.
Use Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the designer paper square to adhere it to the left side of the large Granny Apple Green rectangle. This will hold the foil fern cut outs in place.
Unlock the Delightful Tag Topper Punch. Slide one short end of the 1-1/2” x 3-3/4” white strip in as far as it will go. Punch. Repeat with the other side.
Mount the “You are the greatest” or “thank you” sentiment from the Tropical Chic Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Granny Apple Green Ink Pad. Stamp it just to the right of center in the center of the punched white strip.
Cut a 6" piece of Old Olive/Pretty Peacock 3/8" Reversible Ribbon.
Thread the ribbon through the holes in the sentiment banner so the ribbon runs behind the cardstock.
Adhere the sentiment banner with ribbon threaded through it to the card front so it is about 1” from the bottom and ½” from the right side.
Fold the ends of the ribbon over and adhere them in place with Tear & Tape Adhesive strips.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape strips and add SNAIL to the back of the Granny Apple Green rectangle. Adhere it the front of the Old Olive card.
Mount the hibiscus image from the Tropical Chic Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Flirty Flamingo Ink Pad. Stamp on one end of 1-1/2” x 5” strip of white cardstock. Clean the stamp with the Simply Shammy and/or Stampin' Mist and Stampin' Scrub, but leave it on the block.
Ink up the hibiscus stamp with the Lovely Lipstick Ink Pad. Stamp it twice on the white strip of cardstock. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Leave space between the flowers so you can cut them out with the die.
Pick out the open hibiscus flower die from the Tropical Dies. Put it on top of one of the stamped hibiscus flowers on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Run through the tool. Repeat until all three flowers are cut out.
Using SNAIL, adhere the Flirty Flamingo flower cut out in the lower left corner of the sentiment banner.
Using Stampin' Dimensionals, adhere the Lovely Lipstick flower cut outs in the upper left and lower right corners of the sentiment banner.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of Old Olive/Pretty Peacock 3/8" Reversible Ribbon.
Slide the piece of ribbon under the ribbon on the front of the card on the left side of the sentiment banner. Tie it in place with a half knot. Trim the ends.
