Let’s Create

  1. Affix all stamps to Acrylic Blocks.
  2. Fold the Card Base in half using a Bone Folder to sharpen the crease.
  3. Run the 5 Ā½ā€ h x 4 Ā¼ā€ w Basic White panel through the Stampinā€™ Cut & Emboss machine with the Dots and Spots Die. Then place it on a piece of scrap paper. 
  4. Dab a spare acrylic block onto the Balmy Blue stamp pad to lift off some ink. In a circular motion run a Blending Brush over the ink on the block. 
  5. Hold the panel firmly on the scrap paper and starting on the scrap paper, in a circular motion with the Blending Brush, apply ink to the paper and panel. Repeat as needed until youā€™ve achieved the desired color saturation on the panel. 
  6. Then adhere the panel to the Card Base with Stampinā€™ Dimensionals.
  7. Die cut two Cloud strips from Basic White cardstock with the Basic Borders Dies and attach to bottom with Stampinā€™ Seal. 
  8. Die cut three Balloons from the DSP and attach to inked Dots and Spots panel – two with Stampinā€™ Seal and one with Stampinā€™ Dimensionals. 
  9. Stamp three baskets in Crumb Cake ink on Crumb Cake cardstock. Attach a small bit of Adhesive Sheets behind two of the baskets and then die cut and attach. Attach the third basket with a bit of Stampinā€™ Dimensional to the Balloon you adhered with Stampinā€™ Dimensionals.
  10. Stamp sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink on a scrap Basic White Cardstock. Trim to size and attach with Stampinā€™ Dimensionals. 
  11. Create a junk bow with ribbon and twine. 
  12. Sprinkle on Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots.
  13. Stamp and decorate the inside
