STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Begin with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base of Basic Black card stock.
Use a Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment (Love & Happiness) in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink as shown onto a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic White card stock.
Use Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends to color the hearts (dark on the left, light on the right) on a 1 x 5 1/4 piece of All Together 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.
Layer and adhere the following as shown with Stampin’ Seal:
- 1/2 x 5 1/4 piece of All Together 6×6 Designer Series Paper
- 1 x 5 1/4 piece colored in step 3
- 1 3/4 x 5 1/4 piece of Flirty Flamingo card stock
- 2 1/4 x 5 1/4 piece of Real Red card stock
Wrap with a Real Red 1/8″ Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, securing with a knot.
Adhere to the card as shown with Stampin’ Seal.
Crop a piece of Basic Black and Basic White card stock using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) and the largest Layering Circles Dies.
Adhere together with Stampin’ Seal and to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Crop a piece of Real Red and Flirty Flamingo card stock with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) and the hearts from the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder dies.

Use a Stamparatus to position and stamp the ladybug in Tuxedo Black Memento and Real Red Classic Ink.

LOVE THIS! I share steps to create a template to help save time and card stock when using a Stamparatus and images that coordinate with a Builder Punch. You can see it here.
Adhere together and to the card 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 All Together Designer Series Paper to the outside flap of a Basic White Medium Envelope. You can see my video demonstration with tips on adding designer paper to an envelope flap here.
