Painted Seasons Card Tutorial

Hi Friends! Today’s card was created by Stella MacKay, for our Leader’s Project Sheet group. Stella used our new “Painted Seasons Bundle”, which is available for FREE with a $120 order until March 31st. As you could tell from my previous post, I am just smitten with both the stamp set and the Designer Series Paper in this bundle!!!! The coordinating dies for the “Painted Seasons” will be available on March 1st. The sentiment on this card is from “Part of My Story”, which is another free stamp set during Sale-a-bration, with a $60 order.  I hope you enjoy today’s tutorial!

1. Stamp
   Crackle Paint on card base with Crumb Cake ink.
2. Adhere
   Designer Series Paper to Early Espresso layer with SNAIL Adhesive.
3. Using
   SNAIL horizontally across Designer Series Paper piece about 1-1/2”
   from bottom then press ribbon into it and wrap around back and affix
   ends with SNAIL.
4. Stamp
   one pinecone in Crumb Cake and two in Early Espresso on Shimmery
   White card stock then die cut with pinecone die using Big Shot.
5. Stamp
   sentiment from Part of My Story in Early Espresso onto Crumb Cake
   card stock. Punch out. Punch again from smaller Early Espresso. Cut
   the Early Espresso in half width-wise using Paper Snips and adhere
   to back of sentiment with SNAIL Adhesive so it creates a layer. Two
   Early Espresso halves will not meet in back.
6. Create
   a spray of three pinecones by adhering them at their bottom with
   Mini Glue Dots. If you have a household stapler, stapling once at
   the bottom so all three pinecones are captured will keep it very
   secure when handling.
7. Fold
   over the shorter ribbon piece in half. Trim ends. Spread them apart
   and adhere at joint with one Mini Glue Dot. Using another Mini Glue
   Dot, attach to spray of pinecones.
8. Using
   Mini Glue Dots again, adhere sentiment piece to bottom of pinecones
   so they display to left of sentiment.
9. With
   Stampin’ Dimensionals, adhere Designer Series Paper piece to card
   base then sentiment to DSP piece.
10. Add
    two Share What You Love Artisan Pearls to sides of sentiment.
