I learned how to create this project from Ruth Snyder  SU Manager @ East Coast Embossers Gathering August 2014

   

Supplies:

Stamp Set:  Butterfly Basics
Inks:  Old Olive, Tangelo Twist, StazOn Jet Black
Ribbon:  White Satin
Punches:  Scallop Tag, Bitty Butterfly
Cardstock:  Mossy Meadow- 5 ½”x 10 11/16”, Whister White (2) 4”x5 ¼” front and inside,  

4 ½” x 2” for bookmark layer, scrap piece of velum
Accessories:  Stampin' Trimmer, Stampin' Trimmer Rotary Attachment, Perforating Blade (blade is now retired; project was submitted to me before it retired), Clear Block E , Glue dots

Instructions:

1.  Score Meadow Moss at 4 ¼” and use the Stampin Trimmer and Perforating Blade (ret) at 8 ½” using the Stampin’ Trimmer Rotary Attachment.

                                                

2.  Slide the card all the way into the Scallop Tag Punch.  Line the edge of the perforated score line.  Punch.  (**hint** sometimes it is easier to turn the punch upside down to make sure the perforated line is lined up with the edge of the punch)

 

3.  Take Clear Block E, add Tangelo Twist ink directly to the top third of the block.  Use the Old Olive ink and add directly to the bottom two thirds of the block. Then mist the block with alcohol.

Stamp the block to directly to 4 x 5 ¼” white cardstock. 

4.  Next ink the flower, post mark image and striped image from the Butterfly Basics stamp set with StazOn Jet Black Ink and stamp over with background image.  Adhere to the front of card. 

5. One the second piece of 4 x 5 ¼” whisper white cardstock, stamp the Happy Birthday image with Tangelo Twist ink.  Adhere to the inside of the card.

6.  On the 4 ½ x 2” piece of whisper white, stamp the caterpillar verse with StazOn Jet Black.  Stamp the fern image in Old Olive ink.  Stamp the small butterfly image in Tangelo Twist.  Without reinking stamp a second image of the butterfly on scrap vellum.  Punch the vellum with the Bitty Butterfly punch.  Layer the vellum butterfly to the one on the cardstock with a glue dot.   Adhere to the bookmark section of the card.

7.  Run the ribbon through the opening of the scallop punched bookmark.  Place a small glue dot on each side to hold the ribbon in place.  This will also keep the card flat for mailing.

Thank you, Stace, for this Make and Take!
