S imple, pretty hello card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and Masking Paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Starry Sky Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Soft Succulent Cardstock
- 2" square from Starry Sky Cardstock
- 2" square from Soft Succulent Cardstock
- 2" square from Masking Paper
- 1-1/4" square from Starry Sky Cardstock
Pick out the smooth circle die from the Layering Circles Dies that cuts out a smooth circle that is 1-3/8" diameter. Put it on top of the Masking Paper square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Leave the die out.
Peel off the protective backing from the Masking Paper circle. Adhere the Masking Paper circle to the center of the large horizontal Soft Succulent rectangle.
Mount one of the small, leafy stem images from the Forever Fern Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Soft Succulent Ink Pad. Stamp it on the Soft Succulent rectangle so the base of the stem goes over the Masking Paper circle at the 12 o'clock position. Re-ink the stamp and stamp it at the 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 9 o'clock positions. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Make sure the base of the stem goes over the Masking Paper circle each time. Leave the stamp on the block.
Re-ink the small, leafy stem image on Block B with the Soft Succulent Ink Pad. Stamp it just to the left and right of each previously stamped image letting the images overlap a bit. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Make sure the base of the stem goes over the Masking Paper circle each time.
Mount the other small, leafy stem image from the Forever Fern Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Soft Succulent Ink Pad. Stamp it between the previously stamped images as needed letting the images overlap a bit and filling in the wreath. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Make sure the base of the stem goes over the Masking Paper circle each time.
Carefully remove the Masking Paper circle.
Tip: If you have trouble removing the Masking Paper, try heating it lightly with the Heat Tool to soften the adhesive.
Adhere the stamped Soft Succulent rectangle to the front of the Starry Sky card.
Cut a 5" piece of the Soft Succulent 1/2" Satin Shimmer Ribbon so it has a sharp angle on each end.
Adhere a 4" strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive horizontally down the center of the horizontal card front. Remove the protective backing and adhere the ribbon horizontally to the Tear & Tape.
Mount the "hello" sentiment from the Forever Fern Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Starry Sky Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Soft Succulent square.
Put the 1-3/8" smooth circle die on top of the stamped sentiment square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the sentiment is centered in the circle. Run through the machine.
Pick out the smooth circle die from the Layering Circles Dies that cuts out a smooth circle that is 1-5/8" diameter. Put it on top of the 2" Starry Sky square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Adhere the sentiment circle cut out to the center of the Starry Sky circle cut out.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the matted sentiment circles to the center of the stamped wreath on the card front.
Pick out the set of three little flowers die from the Flowers Of Home Dies. Put it on top of the Starry Sky 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 the Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the two smaller flower cut outs to the left and right edges of the wreath above the ribon as shown.
Use the Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the larger flower cut out to the card front so it just hangs over the lower left side of the matted sentiment circles as shown.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large and 2 small Starry Sky dots from the sheet of 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the centers of the flower cut outs as shown.
