Short & Sweet Saturday - Happy Wishes

It's Saturday, and that means another Short & Sweet Saturday card! This week, I'm featuring the Happy Wishes Stamp Set from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. This is one of the Level Two items. With a $100 order (before shipping & tax), you can get this stamp set for FREE until March 31, 2018! Below is the picture of the stamp set. As you can see, it's a great set. It's a red rubber set, and you can choose wood-mount (mounted on wood blocks) and clear-mount (mounted on clear acrylic blocks).

Happy Wishes Stamp Set - Sale-A-Bration Level 2 Set

Dimensions:

Calypso Coral: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" (card base) & 3-3/4" x 2-1/4" (greeting mat)
Basic Black: 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" (base layer)
Old Olive: 3-1/2" x 1-3/4" (leaves)
Whisper White: 3-3/4" x 5" (embossed layer) & 3-3/4" x 2" (greeting layer)
Sweet Soiree Designer Series Paper (DSP): 2" x 5"
Petal Passion Embellishments: 1 flower
Delicate White Doilies: 1 doily

Instructions:

Emboss the largest Whisper White piece by running it through the Big Shot with the Ruffled Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF). Use the following "sandwich" when using a Dynamic TIEF: (starting from the bottom) Big Shot Platform, Dynamic TIEF with the cardstock inside, and Standard Cutting Pad.
Attach the DSP piece to the left side of the embossed piece. Attach the piece to the center of the Basic Black piece. Fold the largest Calypso Coral piece in half (fold on the left) to form the card base. Attach the Basic Black/Whisper White/DSP piece to the card base.
Attach a Delicate White Doily to the center of the card. SNAIL Adhesive only needs to be put onto the back of the solid doily center.
Ink the "Happy" stamp from the Happy Wishes Stamp Set with the Daffodil Delight Classic Stampin' Pad. Using the Calypso Coral Classic Stampin' Pad, put ink onto a sponge dauber, and then sponge the flower part of the stamp with it. Keep adding ink until all of the flower section is inked up. Stamp it onto the top, center of the smallest Whisper White piece. Stamp the "wishing you a" stamp above the "Happy" using the Basic Black Archival Stampin' Pad. Stamp the "birthday" stamp under the "Happy" using the same Basic Black ink pad. Attach the piece across the center of the smallest Calypso Coral piece.
Punch out two sets of leaves out of the Old Olive piece using the Leaf Punch. Attach the bottom stem of one of the leaf sets underneath the top, left corner of the "Happy" piece. Attach the other leaf set underneath the bottom, right corner of the same piece the same way. Attach the whole thing across the center of the doily. Note: The adhesive does need to be put onto the back of the leaves, as well as the "Happy" piece.
Attach a flower from the Petal Passion Embellishments to the bottom, right of the "Happy" piece, directly above the bottom leaf set, using a Mini Glue Dot.

All attaching was done with SNAIL Adhesive, unless stated otherwise.
