Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and foil sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Granny Apple Green Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Melon Mambo Cardstock
- 2-7/8" x 4-1/8" from Granny Apple Green Cardstock
- 2-3/4" x 4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 3/16" x 3-1/2" from Crumb Cake Cardstock
- 1" x 6" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1/4" x 2-1/4" of Granny Apple Green foil from Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green 12" x 12" Foil Sheets
- 1" square of Melon Mambo foil from Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green 12" x 12" Foil Sheets
Place the Dots & Spots Die cutting side up on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Place the 4" x 5-1/4" Melon Mambo rectangle on top making sure it is straight and that you'll cut out as many whole dots/circles as possible. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces as needed.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the dotted Melon Mambo rectangle to the front of the Granny Apple Green card.
Adhere the large white rectangle to the center of the Granny Apple Green rectangle and then to the front of the card so it is centered.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the thin Crumb Cake strip to the center of the white rectangle on the card front.
As you are ready to stamp using the Merry & Bright 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 "merry" in a solid block sentiment from the Merry & Bright Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Granny Apple Green Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the thin white strip leaving room to cut it out.
Mount the "& bright" in a solid block sentiment from the Merry & Bright Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Melon Mambo Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the thin white strip leaving room to cut it out.
Mount the "Christmas" in a solid block sentiment from the Merry & Bright Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Granny Apple Green Ink Pad. Stamp it on the other end of the thin white strip leaving room to cut it out.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut out the word blocks by hand.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the cut out word blocks and the thin strip of Granny Apple Green foil on the front of the card so they are centered over the Crumb Cake trunk at slight angles as shown. Once happy with the layout and placement, adhere the pieces in place on at a time using Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen.
Pick out the small star die from the Merry & Bright Dies. Put it on top of the Melon Mambo foil square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the pink foil side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere star cut out to the top of the tree as shown.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 3 small and 2 large Old Olive sequins from the sheet of Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the card front as shown.
