SUPPLIES:

Ink Pad: Sweet Sorbet #159216
Cardstock: Petal Pink #146985
Sweet Sorbet #159268
Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine: Splendid Stems dies (part of Bundle)

INSTRUCTIONS:
1-Cut Your Papers:
~Petal Pink Card Base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. Score and fold at 4-1/4″.
~Sweet Sorbet Layer: 4-1/2″ x 4-5/16″ (same size as Foam Adhesive Sheet)
2-Stamping:
~Use Sweet Sorbet ink to stamp both your Words and lots of Bees on your Card Base. Clean the Bee stamp after every few Bees to avoid “Ring Around the Rubber” marks.
3-Plants:
~Peel off one side from your Foam Adhesive Sheet.
~Attach your Sweet Sorbet Layer to the sticky side of your Foam Adhesive Sheet.
~Lay your Two Plant Dies on your Sweet Sorbet Layer.
~Run through your Cut & Emboss Machine. The Foam Adhesive Sheet squishes down so turning the handle is still easy.
~To remove the Plant die cuts from the Foam Adhesive Sheet: Make sure the paper backing is all the way die cut. I used my fingernails to poke through the paper backing and remove the die cuts. Be careful so the Leaf Centers stay attached.
4-Finish Your Card:
~Lay your Plant die cuts where you want them.
~Carefully remove the backing and attach your Plants. As you will notice, one plant stayed together better than the other. They both add texture and dimension to card, even the one that isn’t perfect.
~Add several Brushed Brass Butterflies to your Card Front.
