Lay A4 THICK Whisper White in Paper Trimmer, landscape format, cut at 14.8cm.
Rotate cut piece to landscape and score at 10.5cm. Fold and burnish on the scoreline with a bone folder to make your A6 Standard card blank.
Cut the following...
Magenta Madness : 12.8cm x 8.5cm
Whisper White : 12.3cm x 8cm
Whisper White : 1/2 inch wide strip - long enough for desired sentiment PLUS 1/2 inch either side*
BumbleBee : 1 inch wide strip - at least 1 inch longer than Whisper White strip*
DSP : 3/4 inch wide strip, leave at 6 inches*
* I'll give you a tip on punching these strips to your perfect lengths later.
Using the Stampin' Write Markers, colour directly onto the stamps... TIP : I use the side of the brush tip for quicker coverage.
Huff / Breathe on the stamp before you stamp it on the card.
I stamped my floral arrangement in a vague 'C' formation.
Glue this stamped panel onto the Magenta Madness panel, and then onto the front of the card blank.
Insert the Whisper White 1/2 inch strip into the punch and punch desired 'end'. KEEP THE 'WASTE' PIECE.
Stamp the desired Sentiment - I used the Magenta Madness marker with the 'Heartfelt' stamp.
*Place the WASTE piece on the non-punched end, line up to give an equal 'border' around the sentiment - with a pencil, mark down the STRAIGHT edge of the WASTE piece.
Trim the strip along the line drawn. Insert into the punch to punch a matching 'end'
Punch the end of the DSP strip. KEEP THE WASTE PIECE.
Lay the Whisper White sentiment on top of the DSP strip, and line up the waste piece to mark the other end, as before, and punch.
Repeat technique with the BumbleBee strip.
Add a small piece of Tear n Tape adhesive onto the BumbleBee strip and add a foded strip of Magenta Madness ribbon, snip the ends to points
Layer up the 3 strips with dimensionals.
Add the enamel dots into the centres of the Magenta Madness flowers - I used 4.
Glue the sentiment strip into place.
If desired, stamp the envelope.
