This stamp set utilises what is called 2 step stampin. Don't panic it's easy. Just follow the steps listed below to make your own.

To make this card you will need the following:

  • Botanical Blooms Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set
  • Short and Sweet Stamp Set
  • 1 of 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Chocolate Chip Card Stock
  • 1 of 5 1/2 x 3" So Saffron Cardstock
  • 2 of 5 1/2 x 1 Bashful Blue Card Stock
  • 3 of 1 1/2 Chocolate Chip Squares
  • Extra Bashful Blue Cardstock for stamping images and words
  • Bashful Blue Classic Ink
  • So Saffron Classic Ink
  • Chocolate Chip Classic Ink
  • Scallop Square Punch
  • Scallop Edge Punch
  • Word Window Punch
  • Approximately 6" each of 1/4" Chocolate Chip and Bashful Blue Grosgrain Ribbon
  • Stampin Dimensional (or something to "pop up" your middle image)
  1. Fold the chocolate chip cardstock in half
  2. Using the scallop edge punch, scallop one long edge of the so saffron card stock
  3. Now cut this same piece of so saffron card stock down to 2 1/2 inches from top edge to bottom of scallop
  4. Using the botanical blooms stamp set, stamp 2 solid images onto the bashful blue extra cardstock using so saffron classic ink
  5. Still using the botanical blooms stamp set, stamp 1 solid image onto the bashful blue extra cardstock using bashful blue classic ink
  6. Using chocolate chip classic ink, and the corresponding outline images from the botanical blooms stamp set, stamp over top of the images from steps 4 & 5 creating an outline around your solidly stamped image
  7. Using the scallop square punch, punch out your 3 stamped images, ensuring that the stem of the image is in one corner, so that it can be a diamond shape on your card
  8. Position these stamped out images, on your 3 chocolate chip squares
  9. Tape your 2 bashful blue 5 1/2x 1 to the underside of your so saffron scalloped piece, one on top long edge, and one on bottom long edge, so that you have approximately a 1/4" border showing
  10. Position this piece on your chocolate chip cardstock
  11. Take your 3 stamped images and position them on top of your so saffron piece, spacing them in a diamond shape evenly. The bashful blue image, will be in the middle, and will be popped up using your dimensional
  12. Using chocolate chip classic ink, stamp a saying using the short and sweet stamp set on your extra bashful blue cardstock, then punch out using the word window punch
  13. Stick to bottom right hand side of card
  14. Use your 2 colours of ribbon, tie a loose knot in the middle of each piece. Trim to an appropriate length, the glue to the bottom left hand edge of your card.
