STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Create a gate-fold card base with Basic White Thick card stock and the Paper Trimmer. Cut card stock to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Score at 2 1/8 and 6 3/8.
Layer and adhere a 1 5/8 x 5 piece of Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper to a 1 7/8 x 5 1/4 piece of Poppy Parade card stock with Stampin’ Seal. Repeat for the opposite side.
Adhere to the card base as shown with Stampin’ Seal.
Create a belly band by adhering a 9 1/2 x 1 1/2 piece of Basic White card stock to a 9 1/2 x 1 3/4 piece of Poppy Parade card stock.
Lay the card in the center and mark/score the belly band to wrap around the card. Leave a wee bit of room to allow it to slide on and off.
Use Stampin’ Seal + (extra strength) to adhere the belly band ends together, placing it where it will be covered by the sentiment die-cut.
Double wrap with white Baker’s Twine Essentials, securing on the right with a bow.
Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to crop the following:
- Mossy Meadow: 3 1/4 x 1 7/8 Seasonal Labels Die, Holly Berry Leaves Backing
- Poppy Parade: Holly Berry Berries (both detailed and bottom)
- Basic White: Holly Berry Label
Use a Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment (Boughs of Holly) in Poppy Parade Classic Ink onto Basic White die-cut label.
Adhere the berry pieces and leaves backing to the label as shown with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Adhere both die-cut labels together and to the belly band with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
POP OF PERSONALITY! Add Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to the berries as shown.
