This is such an easy card to create thanks to the Stampin’ Up! Cut & Emboss Machine! It makes quick work of all those fabulous die-cuts and that spectacular background.
To really show off this card, I decided to go with one of my favorite color combinations:

Project Measurements
- Mango Melody: 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, scored at 4-1/4” and 2” x 4” for die-cutting
- Basic White: 4” x 5-1/4” (2) and 3-1/4” x 5-1/2”

Project Instructions
1. Fold Mango Melody cardstock in half at score line; burnish well with Bone Folder.

3. Run the 3-1/4” x 5-1/2” piece of Basic White cardstock through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Splatters 3D Embossing Folder. Adhere to the Melon Mambo cardstock and adhere to front of card.
4. Using the 2” x 4” scrap of Mango Melody cardstock, cut out the sentiment using the Sending Dies that come in the Bundle. Set aside.
5. Using the other piece of 4” x 5-1/4” Basic White Cardstock, stamp the sentiment using Melon Mambo ink.
6. Stamp the 2 flowers using Melon Mambo ink and stamp the center of each flower using Crushed Curry ink. Stamp the stem using Granny Apple Green ink.
7. Using the Cut & Emboss Machine and the Sending Dies that come in the Bundle, cut out the sentiment using the Tag Die, and cut out the flowers and stem using the appropriate dies.
8. Adhere the flower/stem to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals, leaving room at the bottom for the 2 sentiments.
9. Adhere the sentiment die from Step #4 to the card, just below the flower stem, using little dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue adhesive.
