P retty tag to add to a gift using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- 2" x 4" from Calypso Coral Cardstock
- 2" x 4" from Petal Pink Cardstock
- 2" x 4" of diagonal pink stripes with tiny yellow and pink lemons with green leaves design form Delightfully Eclectic 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut so the lemons are vertical on the vertical rectangle
- 2" x 4" of tiny strawberries on dark pink background design form Delightfully Eclectic 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut so the berries are vertical on the vertical rectangle
- 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" from Basic White Cardstock
- 2-3/4" square from Basic White Cardstock
Adhere the pieces of Delightfully Eclectic Designer Paper to one side of the Calypso Coral and Petal Pink rectangles so the base color of the designer paper piece matches the color of the cardstock.
Pick out the largest, rounded top tag die from the Tailor Made Tags Dies. Put it on top of one of the layered designer paper/cardstock rectangles on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Repeat with the other layered designer paper/cardstock rectangle.
Tip: Make sure the fruits are right side up when the top of the tag is at the top.
Adhere the tags together at a slight angle as shown. Make sure the holes at the top of the tags line up and that no adhesive sticks out past the edge of the top tag.
As you are ready to stamp using the So Refreshing Set or Heartfelt Hexagon Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Put a piece of Grid Paper on top of the Mat to protect it from ink.
Mount the single-line, dotted edge tag outline from the Heartfelt Hexagon Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Crushed Curry Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" horizontal white strip leaving room to punch it out.
Mount the "time spent together is the sweetest" sentiment from the So Refreshing Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Calypso Coral Ink Pad. Stamp it inside the stamped tag outline on the white strip so the words "time spent" are centered in the top bump of the outline and the whole sentiment is closer to the right edge. Some of the last "t" in the word "sweetest" may hang over the edge of the stamped outline.
Unlock the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. Hold the punch upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the stamped tag image into the punch and get it centered in the punching area. Punch.
Adhere the sentiment label punch out to the right edge of the layered tags near the center so about 5/8" hangs over the right edge of the tags. Make sure no adhesive goes over the right edge of the tags.
Mount the full, outline only pitcher image from the So Refreshing Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Crushed Curry Ink Pad. Stamp it on one side of the 2-3/4" white square leaving room to cut the image out.
Mount the solid, liquid in the bottom of the pitcher image from the So Refreshing Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Petal Pink Ink Pad. Stamp it inside the bottom of the previously stamped outline pitcher image.
Mount the solid, set of two small lemons image from the So Refreshing Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Crushed Curry Ink Pad. Stamp it on Grid Paper once. WITHOUT RE-INKING, stamp it in a blank space on the white square leaving room to cut it out.
Mount the outline, set of two small lemons image from the So Refreshing Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Crushed Curry Ink Pad. Stamp it over the top of the previously stamped set of two solid lemons.
Mount the small, circular citrus slice image from the So Refreshing Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Crushed Curry Ink Pad. Stamp it in a blank area on the white square leaving room to cut it out.
Pick out the matching open pitcher die; the matching open small set of two lemons die; and the small circle die from the So Refreshing Dies. Put them all on top of the white square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so they are all centered over the matching stamped images.. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut a small slit half way into the lemon slice cut out.
Slide the cut lemon slice cut out onto the top of the lemonade pitcher cut out as shown.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the lemonade pitcher with lemon slice attached to the front of the tag as shown so the handle of the pitcher hangs out over the left edge of the tags and the pitcher overlaps the left side of the sentiment label punch out a bit. Make sure no adhesive goes over the left edge of the tags.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the set of two little lemons cut out to the front of the tag as shown so it overlaps the bottom right side of the pitcher and the bottom of the sentiment tag punch out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large and 2 small Calypso Coral gems from the sheet of Iridescent Pastel Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the front of the tag as shown.
Cut a piece of Calypso Coral 3/16" Braided Linen Trim long enough to tie around your gift with a bow.
Thread one end of the ribbon trim through the holes in the tops of tags. Tie around your gift with a bow. Trim the ends.
