Recipe: Live, Laugh, Love

Ingredients:

Neenah Classic Crest Cover 100lb, Solar White/White or cardstock of choice

Blue cardstock

Altenew Dainty Swiss Dots Stamp

Altenew Parrot Tulips Stamp and Die Set

Altenew Fresh Dye Inks: Morning Frost, Silver Stone, and Industrial Diamond

Altenew Mixed Media Ink: Sapphire

Silver Diamond Dots

Instructions:

Create a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card base, a 4” x 5 ¼” panel and 5 ¼” x 1 ½” sentiment strip from white

cardstock. From blue cardstock, cut a 4 ½” x 5 ½” panel and adhere panel to card base.

Stamp the 4 x 5 ¼” white cardstock panel with Dainty Swiss Dots and Silver Stone ink. On a separate piece of

white cardstock, stamp two tulips from the Parrot Tulips Stamp set. The Parrot Tulips Stamp is a layering

stamp set, the Tulip has three stamps, layer one is the background, layer two has more detail than layer one,

but covers less space and layer three puts on the final touches. For the first Tulip, stamp with the third layer in

Sapphire ink. For the second Tulip, stamp with the second and third layer stamps using Morning Frost and

Industrial Diamond. Use the die to cut out the stamped Tulips.

Adhere the die cut Tulips on the card panel stamped with Dainty Swiss Dots; the card will be in landscape

orientation, place the Tulips on the bottom of the card panel, adhering the grey Tulip directly to the card to the

right side and the Sapphire on the left side, popped up with foam tape. Trim excess as needed. Adhere the

card panel to the card base.

Stamp the sentiment strip with “live”, “laugh”, and “love” sentiments from the Parrot Tulips Stamp Set, spacing

them so the sentiments are equidistant from the sides and each other. Adhere sentiment strip, using foam

tape, to the top of the card, about ¼” down from the top. Add the Silver Diamond Dots between the words.
