Directions
1) Cut a piece of Whisper White Card Stock to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8".
2) Cut three pieces of Certainly Celery Card Stock to 2 1/4 x 2 1/2" each.
3) Build a sandwich of Multipurpose Platform with Tab 2 open, one Standard Cutting Pad, Little Leaves Sizzlits Die with single piece of card stock on top, and the other Standard Cutting Pad. Run through the Big Shot. Repeat with the other two pieces of celery card stock.
4) Cut the leaves apart as needed and adhere them to the right side of the white rectangle using the 2-Way Glue Pen. Let the stems go off the edge and trim off the excess.
5) Use the small scallop flower punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack to punch several flowers from scraps of Bashful Blue and Pretty in Pink Card Stock.
6) Adhere the flowers to the leaves on the white rectangle using the 2-Way Glue Pen.
7) Build a sandwich of Multipurpose Platform with Tab 2 open, one Standard Cutting Pad, Embossing Folder with white card stock inside, and the other Standard Cutting Pad. Make sure the side of the card stock with the glued on leaves and flowers is facing the top of the folder (you should be able to read the Sizzix and Stampin' Up! logos). Run through the Big Shot.
8) Cut a piece of Certainly Celery Card Stock to 4 x 5 1/4".
9) Adhere the textured white rectangle to the celery rectangle.
10) Adhere a piece of Pretty in Pink 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon to the back top side of the rectangles about 1 1/2" inches in from the left side.
11) Leave the bottom of the ribbon loose and trim it at an angle.
12) Cut a piece of Pretty in Pink Card Stock to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2". Score and fold in half to make a card.
13) Adhere the matted white rectangle to the card front.
14) Cut a piece of Certainly Celery Card Stock to 2 1/4 x 2 1/2".
15) Build a sandwich of Multipurpose Platform with Tab 2 open, one Standard Cutting Pad, large flourished oval die from the Lots of Tags Sizzlits 4-Pack with celery card stock on top, and the other Standard Cutting Pad. Run through the Big Shot.
16) Stamp the bird in a frame image from the Four Frames Set in Bashful Blue Ink onto a scrap of Bashful Blue Card Stock.
17) Punch the frame image out using the Decorative Label Punch.
18) Adhere the punched out frame image to the oval die cut piece.
19) Adhere the matted frame image to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals so it is centered over the ribbon.
20) Stamp the word from the Fabulous Phrases Set on a scrap of Certainly Celery Card Stock using Certainly Celery Ink.
21) Punch out the word using the 3/4" x 15/16" Oval Punch.
22) Adhere the word oval to the top right side of the frame image.
23) Use the small scallop flower punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack to punch a flower from a scrap of Pretty in Pink Card Stock.
24) Adhere the flower to the top right side of the word oval using the 2-Way Glue Pen.
25) Tie a small piece of white embroidery thread through the holes of a scallop flower button from the Bitty Buttons. Trim the ends.
26) Adhere the button to the punched out flower using a Mini Glue Dot.
Tips
You can purchase the Four Frames Set as a sneak peek item during April after placing an order of at least $20 worth of merchandise. This Set is only available during April and then will be offered again in the new Idea Book & Catalog effective July 1.
I got the white embroidery thread that I used in the Cute as a Button Simply Sent Kit that I earned as a Hostess Level 3 selection.
Do NOT try to cut more than one piece of card stock or Designer Series Paper at a time with a Sizzlits Die. These dies are chemically-etched and aren't strong enough to cut more than one layer at a time.
If your Standard Cutting Pads are really scratched up, then the scratches can impress themselves into the card stock as you cut something with a Sizzlits Die. You might want to consider buying a new pair of Standard Cutting Pads (page 204, $8.95).
