F un card using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Real Red Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Blushing Bride Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 4" from Real Red Cardstock

- 2-3/4" square from Basic White Cardstock
- 1" x 1-1/2" from Blushing Bride Cardstock
Mount the small circle of rubber popped out from the center of the speech/thought bubble image from the Snailed It Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it randomly all over the large Blushing Bride rectangle. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Let some of the images go off the edges of the cardstock.
Adhere the strip of Snailed It Designer Paper to the center of the long strip of Real Red cardstock.
Adhere the matted strip of designer paper to the vertical, polka dotted Blushing Bride rectangle about 1" from the bottom.
Adhere the polka dotted Blushing Bride rectangle with matted designer paper strip attached to the front of the Real Red card.
Mount the mushroom group image from the Snailed It Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white square.
Pick out the large square postage stamp die from the Snail Dies. Put it on top of the stamped mushroom group image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the image is centered side to side in the die and slightly closer to the top edge. Run through the machine.
Put the mushroom group square postage stamp cut out on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. You need to make sure that you protect your work surface with paper as the Stampin' Blends Markers do bleed through.
Use the Dark and Light Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends to color in the tall, skinny mushroom and stem.
Use the Dark and Light Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blends to color in the top of the small mushroom and the leaves.
Use the Dark Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blends to outline the grass.
Use the Dark and Light Real Red Stampin' Blends to color in the polka dots and stem on the large mushroom.
Use the Light Real Red Stampin' Blends to outline the curving tendril on the right side of the image.
Use the Dark and Light Petal Pink Stampin' Blends to color in the rest of the large mushroom.
Use the Color Lifter Stampin' Blends if needed to remove excess color.
Adhere the colored mushroom group square postage stamp cut out to the front of the card so it is centered over the left side of the matted designer paper strip about 1/2" from the left edge of the card.
Pick out the small, solid, stitched rectangle die from the Snail Dies. Put it on top of the smal rectangle of Blushing Bride cardstock on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Mount the "hello" sentiment from the Snailed It Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small Blushing Bride rectangle cut out.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the stamped sentiment rectangle cut out to the front of the card so it is centered over the bottom edge of the mushroom group square postage stamp cut out.
