Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Petunia Pop 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
- 3-3/4" x 4-1/2" of pink stripes design from Unbounded Beauty 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut so the stripes are vertical on the vertical rectangle
- 3" x 4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1" x 3-1/2" from Granny Apple Green Cardstock
- 1-1/2" square from Crumb Cake Cardstock
- 1-1/4" x 1-3/4" from Basic White Cardstock
Adhere the piece of Unbounded Beauty Designer Paper vertically to the vertical 4" x 5-1/4" Granny Apple Green rectangle so the left sides are even.
As you are ready to stamp using the Crafting With You 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 easel image from the Crafting With You Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Crumb Cake Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the large white rectangle.
Mount the large group of flowers and leaves image from the Crafting With You Set on Block B. Using the brush tip of the Petunia Pop Stampin' Write Marker, ink up only the flowers. Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink. Stamp the image in the center of the canvas area on the previously stamped easel image. Clean the stamp using the Simply Shammy and/or Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and Stampin' Scrub, but leave it on the block.
Re-ink the large group of flowers and leaves image on Block B using the brush tip of the Granny Apple Green Stampin' Write Marker to ink up only the leaves. Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink. Stamp the image in the center of the canvas area on the previously stamped easel image so the flowers and leaves line up. Clean the stamp using the Simply Shammy and/or Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and Stampin' Scrub and put it away.
Pick out the matching, open easel die from the Crafting With You Dies. Put it on top of the stamped easel image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine.
Use Stampin' Seal and Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the easel cut out to the layered cardstock/designer paper as shown so it is about 1/4" from the left side of the designer paper and about 1/4" from the top of the designer paper.
Unlock the Happy Labels Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of the Granny Apple Green strip into the right side of the punch (the side of the punch with the smaller scallops) as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch.
Mount the "you inspire me" or "with love" sentiment from the Crafting With You Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Jet Black StazOn Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the punched strip.about 1/2" from the right edge with the punched edge on the right.
Cut a 7" piece of the Petunia Pop 3/8" Bordered Ribbon.
Wrap the ribbon around the stamped and punched sentiment strip about 1/4" to the left of the stamped sentiment. Tie in place with a knot. Trim the ends.
Adhere the sentiment strip with ribbon attached to the layered cardstock/designer paper so it covers the bottom of the easel, is about 1/4" from the bottom of the designer paper, and there is about 1/4" of green between the left edge of the layer and the left edge of the ribbon. Trim off excess cardstock on the left side using Paper Snips Scissors.
Adhere the layered cardstock/designer paper with easel, sentiment strip, and ribbon attached to the front of the Petunia Pop card so the left sides are even and there is a bit of Petunia Pop showing on the remaining three sides.
Mount the basket image from the Crafting With You Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Crumb Cake Ink Pad. Stamp it on the Crumb Cake square
Pick out the matching, open basket die from the Crafting With You Dies. Put it on top of the stamped basket image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the basket cut out to the front of the card as shown so it just overlaps the right edge of the punched sentiment strip a bit. Try to leave the top of the basket free of adhesive so you can slide the paintbrushes image underneath in a later step.
Mount the paintbrushes image from the Crafting With You Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Jet Black StazOn Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the remaining white rectangle.
Pick out the matching paintbrushes die from the Crafting With You Dies. Put it on top of the stamped paintbrushes image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine.
Use the fine tips of the Granny Apple Green and Petunia Pop Stampin' Write Markers to color in the white areas of the brushes on the paintbrushes cut out.
Adhere the colored paintbrushes cut out to the front of the card as shown so the bottoms are tucked under the top of the basket.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 3 Granny Apple Green discs from the sheet of Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the front of the card as shown in a straight line down in the upper right corner of the designer paper..
