Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a cutting and scoring tool and Paper Snips:
- 2 pieces each 4 1/4" x 11" from Mint Macaron Cardstock scored at 5-1/2" and cut on an angle as outlined below
- 4" x 5" piece of mosaic roses, leaves, and butterflies in yellow and green from Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper, cut in half on diagonal
- 3-1/4" x 5-1/4" from Blushing Bride Cardstock
- 3-1/8" x 5-1/8" of Very Vanilla Cardstock
- pink rose cut from mosaic roses, leaves, and butterflies in yellow, pink, and green from Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper using Paper Snips
- hummingbird cut from hummingbirds on yellow background from Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper using Paper Snips
Take one large Mint Macaron scored piece and cut it diagonally from the center top at the score line to the bottom left corner.
Take the other large Mint Macaron scored piece and cut it diagonally from the center top at the score line to the bottom right corner.
Adhere the solid rectangle bases together using Tear & Tape Adhesive. Make sure the straight edge of each angled flap is on the bottom and that they will crisscross.
Fold the angled ends in but do NOT adhere yet. Adhere one angled piece of designer paper to each angled flap.
Put a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive across the straight edge of the back of the angled flap you want to have on the bottom. Remove the protective backing and adhere it to the rectangle card backing.
Put a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive across the straight edge of the back of the angled flap you want to have in the front. Remove the protective backing and adhere it to the rectangle card backing over the top of the other angled flap.
If you haven't already done so, use Paper Snips to cut out a pink rose from a piece of the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Paper.
Adhere the rose cut out to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals so it overlaps the two flaps in the center near the top edges. Make sure NO adhesive goes over the tops of the flaps.
If you haven't already done so, use Paper Snips to cut out a hummingbird from a piece of the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Paper.
Adhere the hummingbird cut out to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals so it overlaps one flap and the rose cut out a bit.
Use the corner rounding part of the Detailed Trio Punch to corner round the top two corners of both the Very Vanilla and the Blushing Bride rectangles. Punch only one piece of cardstock at a time. Make sure the edges of the cardstock butt firmly up against the guides on the sides of the punch and press down firmly in the CENTER of the punch.
As you are ready to stamp using the Beautiful Bouquet Photopolymer 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 sentiment of choice from the Beautiful Bouquet Set on an appropriately sized block. Ink it up with the Garden Green Ink Pad. Stamp it on the left side of the corner rounded vanilla piece so it is about 1” from the top.
Adhere the stamped, corner rounded vanilla piece to the corner rounded Blushing Bride piece.
Unlock the Circle Tab Punch. Slide the strip of Blushing Bride Cardstock into the punch and punch.
Fold the circle tab punch out in half.
Mount the small, six-petal flower image from the Beautiful Bouquet Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Blushing Bride Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the circle at the top of the circle tab punch out on one side.
Use Tear & Tape Adhesive pieces to adhere the stamped, circle tab punch out to the matted vanilla rectangle on the left side. Make sure the stamped flower is facing forward.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to adhere a Call Me Clover enamel dot from the Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots to the center of the flower on the circle tab punch out.
Slide the insert into the card pocket.
