Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Boho Blue Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" of blue brushstrokes design from Fresh As A Daisy 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut so the brushstrokes are horizontal on the horizontal rectangle
- 3-1/4" x 4-3/4" from Boho Blue Cardstock
- 3" x 4-1/2" from Basic White Cardstock
Mount the "best wishes & happy thoughts" sentiment from the Nature's Prints Set on an Clear Block H. Ink it up with the Boho Blue Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the horizontal white rectangle slightly closer to the right edge.
Pick out the die from the Deckled Rectangles Dies that cuts out a rectangle that is 2-5/8" x 4". Put it on top of the sentiment stamped white rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered top to bottom and the right side of the sentiment is about 3/8" from the right edge of the die. Run through the machine.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the sentiment rectangle cut out on top of the horizontal Fresh As A Daisy Designer Paper.
Mount the large fern image from the Nature's Prints Set on Block E. Ink it up with the Boho Blue Ink Pad. Stamp it on the designer paper/white rectangle so the leaves are just above the sentiment and go off the right edges.
Re-ink the large fern image on Block E with the Boho Blue Ink Pad. Stamp it on the designer paper/white rectangle so the leaves are just below the sentiment and go off the bottom left edges.
Re-ink the large fern image on Block E with the Boho Blue Ink Pad. Stamp it on the designer paper so the leaves are in the lower right corner of the designer paper just below the white rectangle. Leave the block on the stamp.
Remove the stamped white rectangle from the designer paper.
Adhere the stamped designer paper to the front of the Boho Blue card.
Pick out the die from the Deckled Rectangles Dies that cuts out a rectangle that is 3" x 4-3/8". Put it on top of the Boho Blue rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. KEEP BOTH PIECES!
Re-ink the large fern image on Block E with the Boho Blue Ink Pad and stamp it repeatedly all around the edges of the Boho Blue rectangle cut out. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Change the angle of the stamp every so often. Let the images overlap.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle to the center of the stamped blue rectangle.
Use the Paper Trimmer and Paper Snips Scissors to cut an edge from the edge of the Boho Blue that had the rectangle cut out of it. The piece should be about 1/4" x 1-5/8".
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the small piece of Boho Blue edge to the front of the card so the rough edge is on the bottom and it is centered under the words "& Happy Thoughts."
Cut a 9" piece of the Boho Blue jute trim from the 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim.
Carefully tease one end of the jute trim apart and pull it apart so you have a piece that is one strand thick.
Tie a small bow in the center of the strand of Boho Blue jute trim. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the jute trim bow to the front of the card so it is centered at a slight angle over the bottom right corner of the strip of Boho Blue as shown.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 3 dots from the sheet of 2023-2025 In Color Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the front of the card as shown at the top left corner of the white rectangle in a rough triangle.
