HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS I USED TO MAKE THIS PROJECT

In this tutorial the name Seal is referring to the use of the Stampin' Seal Adhesive.

Cut a piece of Basic White 11" x 4¼”
Cut a slit from 2" to 6½" along the 11" side, turn over and repeat on the back side.
Using the picture below, score as directed on the 1", 2", 5½" and 6½
Fold ONLY the score lines as follows - 1" Mountain Fold, 2" Valley Fold, 5½" Mountain Fold and 6½" Mountain Fold.
Cut 2 pieces of Flirty Flamingo 4½" x 1".
Cut 2 pieces of Basic White 6½" x 1½" and using the long Irresistible Blooms die, run them thru the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine.
Carefully add Stampin' Seal lightly to the back of the 2 die pieces and holding the ends, center and lay over the Flirty Flamingo CS.
Use you finger and slide over the die piece to remove any remaining adhesive.
Trim the excess piece off both ends.
Adhere the 2 pieces between the valley and mountain folds along each side.
Cut a piece of Flirty Flamingo 4" x ¾".
Cut a 5" piece of ribbon and seal the end pieces on the back.
The tiny bow was made using a fork. Add a glue dot and add over the wrapped ribbon then adhere across the bottom of the card.
Using Memento Black Ink and Basic White CS, stamp and die cut the 2 flowers.
Color the flowers with the Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends.
Color the flower centers with the Dark Mango Melody.
Using Soft Succulent Ink and Soft Succulent CS, stamp and die cut the leaf pieces.

Add a dimensional to the back of each flower and adhere to the center piece.
Add a dimensional to the from edge of the leaves and tuck under the flowers.
Using Evening Evergreen Ink, stamp your greeting near the top of the card.
To add the final touches I used the Loose Frosted Dots on the center of the flowers in addition to the normal 3 on the front. This was a little tricky because there is no adhesive on the back of the dots so I put a drop of multipurpose liquid glue on my Silicone Craft Sheet then used a tooth pick to apply glue. Now enjoy your finished card!

Dimensionals #104430

HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS I USED TO MAKE THIS PROJECT

In this tutorial the name Seal is referring to the use of the Stampin' Seal Adhesive.

Cut a piece of Fresh Freesia or 2 Calypso Coral 11" x 4¼" and score at 5½". (This will be the Card Base).
Cut a piece of Favored Flowers DSP 5" x 3¾" or cut 2 pieces of Dandy Designs DSP 5" x 3¾". Take notice of direction if pattern paper.
Cut the Favored Flower piece or cut both pieces of the Dandy Designs together leaving a little not cut at both ends of all cut lines as follows:
On the 3¾" side cut in half at 1⅞", On the 5" side cut in half at 2½", place diagonal corners in the trimmer and cut, then place the other diagonal corners in the trimmer and cut.
Carefully finish cutting the lines and lay all the pieces as they were cut.
Because we are using both sides of the Favored Flower DSP we will get one card. Because we are using 2 different pieces of the Dandy Designs DSP we will get 2 cards.
On the Favored Flower 4 rectangles, remove the 4 right pieces or every other triangle, turn them over place then place in the appropriate place.
On the Dandy Designs, remove one of each of the right rectangles and trade place. Repeat till all 4 right triangles have been traded.
Place your Fresh Freesia CS in the trimmer and on the lower front piece of the 4¼" side, place a pencil in the blade track at 2⅛" and make a 2" to 3" line in the center. Turn it 90 degrees and on the 5½" side, place a pencil in the blade track at 2¾" and make a 2" to 3" line in the center. Now take one of the lower corners and put the diagonal score line in the trimmer and make another pencil mark, then repeat on the other diagonal corner.
Place or tack each piece on the card for placement. Start by aligning each corner using the pencil marks for the point placement. Adhere all 8 pieces, then erase the pencil marks.
For the Fresh Freesia card, I fussy cut a larger flower from the Favored Flowers DSP. I then stamped the greeting with Fresh Freesia Ink on a Scrap of Basic White then ran it through the Stampin Cut and Emboss Machine using a Stylish Shapes die.
For the Calypso Coral cards, I stamped the greeting with Calypso Coral Ink on a Scrap of Basic White then ran it through the Stampin Cut and Emboss Machine using the Beautiful Shapes dies.

Add dimensionals to the flower and died cuts and adhere to the front of the cards.
To put the final touches to the card, add Champagne Rhinestones to the front of the cards
