STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Begin with a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 Crumb Cake card base.
Use a Clear Block D to stamp the background in Soft Suede Classic Ink onto the edge of a 4 1/2 x 3 1/4 piece of Crumb Cake card stock.
Adhere to a 4 3/4 x 3 1/2 piece of Soft Suede card stock with Stampin’ Seal.
Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
STAMPED LEAVES: Use a Stamparatus to stamp the leaves in your choice of the following colors onto Crumb Cake card stock: Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry.
Crop the leaves with the coordinating Intricate Leaves Dies and a Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
DIE-CUT LEAVES: Use a Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to crop the leaves using the Intricate Leaves Dies and the following card stock colors that have been adhered to a Foam Adhesive Sheet: Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry.
Remove the protective backing and adhere as shown.
Use a Stamparatus to stamp the sentiments (In Your Words Stamp Set) in Versamark Ink onto Soft Suede card stock.
Cover with White Basics Embossing Powder and set with a Heat Tool.
Use a Paper Trimmer to trim the sentiment to the desired size (mine range from 3/8″ – 5/8″ wide by 4″ long).
Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
POP OF PERSONALITY! Embellish with Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots!

Mary, I love your cards. However, when I tried to cut out the intricate leaves using the foam adhesive sheets I was faced with a nightmare. I couldn’t easily get the tiny pieces out. I have used the foam adhesive sheets before, but not with such intricate dies. I ran everything through the die cutter twice, which didn’t help. Do you have any tips that would make this process easier?
Thank you for your email, happy to help!
I will admit that the intricate dies take a little more work than others. Here are a couple of tips that I can share with you:
• Use the piercing end of a Take Your Pick Tool or Piercing Tool to help pull or push the pieces out.
• Remove the adhesive backing and place it on a Silicone Mat. Apply pressure on the pieces you want to remove and pull up on the piece you want to keep. It may take two or more attempts to get them all, but it does help.
Happy Cropping, Mary
Oh, my! These are gorgeous!
I simply ADORE what you created with this sketch my friend.
