STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Begin with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base of Basic Black card stock.
Layer and adhere a 3 3/4 x 5 piece of Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper to a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Gold Foil Sheet together with Snail Adhesive and to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Cut a striped piece of Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper to 1 3/8 x 4.
Adhere to the center as shown with Snail Adhesive.
Use the largest Stitched Be Mine heart die along with a die-cutting and embossing machine to crop a piece of Gold Foil.
Adhere the two cropped heart pieces together and to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Crop a piece of Basic Black card stock with the detailed bee from the Detailed Bee Dies. Adhere as shown with bits of Snail Adhesive.
Use a Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment in Versamark Ink onto a piece of Basic Black card stock that has been rubbed with an Embossing Buddy.
Cover with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Flick to remove the excess and set with a Heat Tool.
Crop to size with a Paper Trimmer and Paper Snips.
Adhere with Snail Adhesive.
POP OF PERSONALITY! Add a gold Metallic Pearl to the center of the bee.
