P retty thank you card using Sale-A-Bration products from Stampin' Up!
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock, designer paper, and Adhesive Sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Fresh Freesia Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Blackberry Bliss Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Basic White Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-7/8" of closely packed various purple flowers design from Bloom Impressions 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/2" x 2-3/4" of mottled purple design from Bloom Impressions 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 2-3/8" x 2-5/8" from Adhesive Sheets
- 1" x 3-1/4" from Fresh Freesia Cardstock
- 1" square of closely packed various purple flowers design from Bloom Impressions 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
Insert the white rectangle into the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. Use the line printed on the front flap of the folder to make sure it is lined up straight. Place the folder with the cardstock inside on the platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.
Adhere the large piece of closely packed purple flowers Bloom Impressions Designer Paper on the left side of the dry embossed, horizontal white rectangle so the top, bottom, and left edges are even.
Cut a 4-3/4" piece of the Fresh Freesia 3/8" Seam Binding Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the dry embossed white/designer paper rectangle so it covers the seam between the designer paper and cardstock as shown. Fold the ends of the ribbon over and secure the ribbon in place on the back with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add Stampin' Seal to the back of the white rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the center of the Blackberry Bliss rectangle and then to the front of the Fresh Freesia card.
Peel the protective backing off of the Adhesive Sheets rectangle. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets rectangle to one side of the mottled purple Bloom Impressions Designer Paper rectangle. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Pick out the leaf vine heart die and the single flower die from the Heart Shaped Dies. Put them on top of the designer paper rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the designer paper side is face up. Leave room to cut out another flower from the center of the heart. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. Keep all the pieces. Repeat with the flower die only to cut out another flower from the heart center. Leave the flower die out.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the back of the purple vine heart cut out. Adhere it to the card front as shown so it is slightly closer to the top and just overlaps the left side of the ribbon a bit.
Pick out the long, skinny, open label die included in the Heart Shaped Dies. Put it on top of the strip of Fresh Freesia Cardstock on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
As you are ready to stamp using the Heart Shaped 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 "thank you" sentiment from the Heart Shaped Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Blackberry Bliss Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Fresh Freesia label cut out so it is about 1/2" from the right end.
Adhere the sentiment label cut out to the front of the card as shown so it is centered over the vine heart cut out.
One at a time, carefully remove the protective backings from the backs of the purple flower cut outs. Adhere them in place as shown on the card front so they overlap each other and the left end of the sentiment label cut out a bit.
Put the single flower die from the Heart Shaped Dies on top of the small closely packed purple flowers designer paper square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Use a small piece of Mini Stampin' Dimensionals cut down from the edges of the dimensionals sheet to adhere the flower flower cut out to the card front as shown so it overlaps the other two flowers and the left end of the sentiment label cut out a bit.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 3 small pearls from a sheet of Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the centers of the flower cut outs.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Fresh Freesia 3/8" Seam Binding Ribbon.
Tie a small 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 as shown at a slight angle just below the flower cut outs on the left side of the vine heart cut out.
