As you are ready to stamp using the Tulip Fields Set and 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. Put a piece of Grid Paper on top of the mat to protect it from ink.
Mount the long, thin line of stylized tulip flowers image from the Tulip Fields Set on Block I. Ink it up with the Pumpkin Pie Ink Pad. Stamp it along the left edge of the folded Mango Melody card so it is close to the fold line and the tops of the flowers are pointing to the left. Leave the stamp on the block.
Re-ink the long, thin line of stylized tulip flowers image on Block I with the Pumpkin Pie Ink Pad. Stamp it along the right edge of the Mango Melody card so it is close to the right edge and the tops of the flowers are pointing to the right.
Adhere the piece of Flowering Fields Designer Paper to the center of the Pumpkin Pie rectangle. The top and bottom edges will be even.
Adhere the matted designer paper to the front of the stamped card so it is centered between the stamped lines of stylized tulips. The top and bottom edges will be even.
Mount the small sentiment of choice from the Special Moments Set on an appropriate size block. Ink it up with the Pumpkin Pie Ink Pad. Stamp it in the upper right corner of the vertical white rectangle, leave room to cut things out with the die.
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 sentiment stamped rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the sentiment is in the upper right corner. Run through the machine.
One at a time, peel the protective backings off of the thin Adhesive Sheets strips. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets strips to one side of the two thin Pumpkin Pie strips and the thin Mango Melody strip. Be sure to leave the other protective backings in place for now.
Pick out the long, thin line of tulip flower tops die from the Windmill Fields Dies. Put it on top of one of the Pumpkin Pie strips on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the Pumpkin Pie (dark orange) side is face up. 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. Repeat with the other Pumpkin Pie strip and the Mango Melody strip.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the tulip line cut outs on the bottom of the sentiment rectangle cut out to get an idea for where they will go. Use Paper Snips Scissors to trim off excess flowers on the right edge.
Carefully remove the protective backing from one of the Pumpkin Pie tulip line cut outs. Adhere it to the bottom of the sentiment rectangle cut out so the right edge of the line is near the stitching on the right side. Make sure to leave room below for the remaining two tulip line cut outs. Repeat with the Mango Melody tulip line cut out letting it overlap the bottom of the Pumpkin Pie tulip line cut out. Repeat with the remaining Pumpkin Pie tulip line cut out letting it overlap the bottom of the Mango Melody tulip line cut out.
Adhere the sentiment rectangle cut out with tulip line cut outs attached to the front of the card so it is centered side to side and is about 1" from the top.
Mount the windmill image from the Tulip Fields Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Early Espresso Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Soft Suede rectangle.
Pick out the matching, small windmill die from the Windmill Fields Dies. Put it on top of the stamped windmill on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the image is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to attach the windmill cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the bottom left corner of the sentiment rectangle as shown.
Cut a 4" piece of the Evening Evergreen 3/8" Windowpane Check Ribbon.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card at a slight angle over the bottom right corner of the sentiment rectangle cut out.
