I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies along with the new Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle (Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set & Sunflowers Dies) to make todays thank you card. I glued the rectangular sentiment across the center of the flower. This is another card on which I used Press n Seal plastic wrap to keep all the little die cut pieces in place while I transferred them from the die cut machine to the card.

Here’s what I made:
You can’t tell in the photo, but the sentiment is heat embossed in gold, so it’s shiny and metallic.

Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:
- Cinnamon Cider card stock (CS) cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″, then scored in half at 5-1/2″
- So Saffron CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside of the card base
Stamped with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set:
- sentiment in Versamark ink onto a scrap of Vellum, then heat embossed in gold
Cut using the Sunflowers Dies:
- detailed sunflower from a scrap of So Saffron CS
- 2 detailed leaves from a scrap of Just Jade CS
- Before lifting the die cut pieces from the die cutting machine, I pressed a piece of Press n Seal plastic wrap over each one so the pieces would stay in place.
Cut using the Stitched Rectangles Dies:
- sentiment
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- glue applied onto the backs of the die cut flower (petals only) then the Press n Seal flipped over and the flower petals glued onto the front of the card base
- slowly and carefully peeled the Press n Seal away from the petals
- glue applied onto the backs of the die cut leaves (inner pieces only) then the Press n Seal flipped over and the leaf pieces glued onto the front of the card base
- slowly and carefully peeled the Press n Seal away from the leaves
- sentiment glued over the flower (I spread glue over the entire back of the vellum so no globs would be visible
- So Saffron CS glued onto the inside of the card base

Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
I love your beautiful card. Using Press N Seal makes quick work of making it look like a stencil was used. Great job and a great tip. I haven’t used this technique in a while, but you’ve inspired me to try it again. Enjoy your day!
