Cut the next larger Lots of Labels Framelit from Sweet Sugarplum card stock. Sponge with Sweet Sugarplum ink. Attach two labels together with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Attach to card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
6. Cut two sets of the Flower Leaves” – one in Sweet Sugar Plum and one in Rich Razzleberry. Separate the Leaves leaving a stem. Arrange as desired. Put Glue only on the part of the leaf that touches the Whisper White label. I attached the Rich Razzleberry Leaves first, then the Sweet Sugarplum Leaf. I also sponged the Sweet Sugarplum Leaf with Sweet Sugarplum ink.

1. Cut your Early Espresso card base at 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. Score and fold at 4-1/4″.
2. Cut your Copper Foil Sheet at 4″ x 5-1/4″. Run through your Big Shot with the Petal Burst embossing Folder. Cut your Ribbon at about 5″. Run Fast Fuse along the back where you want to attach your Ribbon. Lay Ribbon across the front and fold ends over and attach to Fast Fuse on the back. Attach Embossed Copper Sheet to card base.
3. Stamp your words and cut out with the Layering Circle Framelit that best fits. Choose a slightly larger Scallop Layering Circle Framelit and cut out of Cajun Craze card stock. While you are at it, cut the Flower Leaves from Cajun Craze card stock at the same time. Attach the two circles together with Fast Fuse.
4. Stamp your two leaves on Whisper White card stock. Use the Rock and Roll Technique to get the two colors on each leaf. Ink up the Leaf Stamp with Daffodil Delight ink just as you always do, BUT before stamping take your stamp and gently roll the edges of the stamp in Cajun Craze ink. Each leaf will look different. When you have two leaves you like, Cut them out with the Leaf Framelit.
5. Attach the four leaves to the back of the Circles with Tombow Glue. Attach the Leaf & Circles to your card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
