Sending Smiles – Fence/Lattice Split Card

Stamp Set: Sending Smiles (Carrying Over), Celebrating You (Retiring Soon)

Cardstock: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Melon Mambo

Ink: Garden Green, Melon Mambo

Other: Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Paper Trimmer, Bone Folder, Sending Dies, Banners Pick-a-Punch or Paper Snips, Sticky Notes Post Pad, Silicone Mat, Paper Piercing Mat, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals

1. The base of the card is Thick Basic White cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.

2. Use the Bone Folder to burnish the scored mark.

3. Using the Paper Trimmer to cut off six 1/2” strips from the bottom. Set aside two.

4. Use the Sticky Notes to the underside of the card so that you can lay the strips across starting with the bottom of the card front, lining it up along the bottom edge.

5. Add the other strips leaving space in between.

6. The two that you set aside, use the Banners Pick-a-Punch to make caps for the fence post or use the Paper Snips, if it is quicker for you.

7. Add small drops (dot-dot-dot; not a lot) of Multipurpose Glue along the two sides of the card for the fence posts. Let dry! Then carefully remove the Sticky Notes. Cut off excess off the bottom posts with the Paper Snips.

8. Now you are ready to stamp the stems and leaves with Garden Green ink on the bottom of the 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” Basic White cardstock. Ink up the two flowers with Melon Mambo ink above leaving space for the sentiment at the very top with Melon Mambo ink too. The centers of the flowers are stamped with Crushed Curry ink using the Stampin’ Spot or ink pad.

9. Die-cut all at once (if you wish) in the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine using post-it note tape to hold them in place.

10. Add the stems and leaves with Multipurpose Glue to the right fence post. Add the flowers with Dimensionals. Add the leaves/bush to the left fence post with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Use the Silicone mat when using the Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

11. The sentiment can be cut with the Paper Snips, but banner die is the right size for the width. Layer onto the ½” x 2-1/8” of Melon Mambo.
