STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Begin with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base of Polished Pink card stock.
Use a Clear Block D to stamp the background image (Nature’s Harvest Stamp Set, available August 3) in Smoky Slate Classic Ink (stamped off on scrap paper first) onto a 3 3/4 x 5 piece of Basic White card stock.
Adhere to a 4 x 5 1/4 piece Polished Pink Designer Series Paper and to the card base with Stampin’ Seal.
Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to crop the following:
- Frame: Basic Black card stock cropped with the 3 3/16 X 1 13/16 and 3 1/2 x 2 1/4 Stitched Rectangle Dies.
- Medium Leaf: Polished Pink card stock and Stitched Leaves Dies
- Small Leaf: Basic Gray card stock and Stitched Leaves Dies
Layer and adhere as shown with snipped-to-size (frame) Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment (Biggest Wish Stamp Set, one of My Favorite Things) in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto Basic White card stock.
Crop with a Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Tasteful Labels die.
Adhere a bow of Black/White Baker’s Twine (Playful Pets Trim Combo) to the back of the sentiment with a Mini Glue Dot.
Adhere to the card as shown with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
POP OF PERSONALITY! Embellish with Matte Black Dots.
PERFECT POLISH! Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere a 2 1/4 x 5 3/4 piece of Polished Pink Designer Series Paper to a Basic White Medium Envelope outside flap. Trim to size with Paper Snips. You can see my video demonstration with tips on adding designer paper to an envelope flap here.
