Step-By-Step Instructions
- Fold the Lemon Lime Twist cardstock in half at the 4-1/4" score line to create your card base.
- Adhere the 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock inside the card.
- Adhere the Celebratory Sips Designer Paper to the front of the card.
- Adhere the Lost Lagoon cardstock to the front of the card as shown in the sample. (Note: the Mini-Corrugated Embossing Folder that was used in this sample sold out and is no longer available.)
- Run the quarter sheet of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and cut out 2 or 3 of the fern dies from the Beautiful Motifs Dies. Adhere them as desired onto the Lost Lagoon cardstock. (Tip: I cut one of the ferns to create the different sizes to go behind the toadstools.)
- Stamp the sentiment onto the center of the 1/2" strip of Basic White cardstock using Secret Sea ink. Create a flag banner on the left side of the cardstock using your scissors. Adhere to the Lost Lagoon cardstock, as shown in the sample, using adhesive.
- Using the scrap of Basic White cardstock, stamp the large and medium toadstool caps using Secret Sea ink. Punch out using the Terrific Toadstools Builder Punch that comes in the Bundle. Ink up the small toadstool stem using Secret Sea ink, stamp off on your scratch paper, and then stamp onto the scrap of Basic White cardstock. Punch out using the Terrific Toadstools Builder Punch. Adhere the stem to the small toadstool cap and set aside.
- Ink up the large toadstool stem using Secret Sea ink and stamp off once on your scratch sheet. Fussy cut out using scissors. Adhere to the large toadstool cap from the previous step.
- Adhere the 2 toadstools to the front of the card, as shown in the sample, using Stampin' Dimensionals.
- To finish, add 3 of the Antique Pears as desired.
