Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Azure Afternoon Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 5-1/4" from Blueberry Bushel Cardstock
- 2" x 5-1/4" of white circles on Balmy Blue background design from Subtles 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
- 3/4" x 2-3/4" from Azure Afternoon Cardstock
Adhere the strip of circles on Balmy Blue Subtles Designer Paper to the center of the Blueberry Bushel strip. The top and bottom edges will be even.
Adhere the matted designer paper strip to the center of the vertical white rectangle. The top and bottom edges will be even.
Adhere the white rectangle with designer paper strip attached to the front of the Azure Afternoon card.
Carefully punch out one small, open wing butterfly and one large, open wing butterfly from a sheet of Paper Butterfly Accents.
Place the butterfly accents on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface.
Randomly tap the Dark and Light Blueberry Bushel Stampin' Blends and the Dark Azure Afternoon Stampin' Blends around on the butterfly accents.
Use the Light Azure Afternoon Stampin' Blends to color in all white spaces and blend the colors together.
Use the Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen on the back of the colored butterfly accents to adhere them to the card front as shown so they are centered over the designer paper strip and there is about 1/2" at the top over the small butterfly and about 1/2" at the bottom below the large butterfly.
Cut a 20" piece of the Balmy Blue twine from the Baker's Twine Three Color Pack.
Fold the twine in half. Tie a bow in the center of the folded twine. Trim the ends leaving them long.
Use a squished up Mini Glue Dot to adhere the twine bow to the front of the card as shown so it is centered over the designer paper strip and the tops of the bow almost touch the bottom wings of the small butterfly and the loose ends slightly overlap the top wings of the large butterfly.
Unlock the Happy Labels Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of the Azure Afternoon strip into the right side of the punch (the side of the punch with the smaller scallops) as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch. Repeat on the other end.
As you are ready to stamp using the Happy Little Things Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the script "you are incredible" sentiment from the Happy Little Things Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Blueberry Bushel Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the punched Azure Afternoon strip.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment strip to the front of the card as shown so it is centered over the bow.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 2 small and 3 large Balmy Blue dots from a sheet of Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them randomly to the front of the card as shown.
