Using the Spruced Up stamps and dies

 Hello fellow stampers, crafters, and friends!  Today I have made a card using the Spriced Up stamps and dies.  It is Christmas-y but could certainly be maid into a birthday card!  


Let's get started with today's project.

Items needed for this card: (in no particular order)

* Spruced Up stamp set
* Spruced Up Outline dies
* Pained Texture 3D embossing folder
* Thick Basic White card stock
* Basic Black card stock 
* Pool Party card stock
* Celebrate Everything DSP (**Host item)
* Memento Black ink pad 
* Lovely Labels Pick a Punch
* Blocks A, B, D 
* Adhesive(s) of choice
* Stampin' Dimensionals
* Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine
* Paper trimmer
* Paper Snips
* Stampin' Scrub (or something to clean your stamps)
* Stampin' Mist


                                          

Dimensions: 

* 8.5" x 5.5" Thick Basic White card stock, folded in half at 4.25"
* 4" x 2 1/4" Pool Party (to emboss)
* 4" x 3" DSP (Celebrate Everyhing)
* 4" x 1/2" Pool Party card stock 
* 3" x 1/2" Pool Party card stock (for sentiment)
* 1/4 of a full sheet of Basic Black card stock (for die cutting and backing of die cut pieces)


How to:

Remember to check the photo or video if needed.

* Cut all of your card stock and DSP as stated in the dimensions
* Fold your card base in half at 4.25". You will be making a vertical card today.
* Die cut three presentsusing your choice of DSP and another three using basic black. Keep the inside pieces of the DSP ones and the outline pieces of the basic black ones.
* Emboss the lagest piece of Pool Party using the Painted Texture 3D folder
* Stamp the sentiment onto the center of the smaller strip of Pool Party card stock in your Memento Black ink then punch each end using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch
* Take the embossed piece of Pool party and the large piece of DSP and on the backside, butt the two pieces up against each other and tape or attach together in some way (I just used scotch tape)
* Adhere these two pieces, that are now together like one, onto the card base.
* Adhere the longer of the two Pool Party strip pieces along the center of the "line" where the DSP and embossed piece meet up  (as though you are using this piece like ribbon to cover up the "line")
* Adhere the black outlines of the presents to some Basic Black card stock.  When doing this, it works best to not cover up the piece that represents the ribbon, so use that edge to be right against the end of the piece you are glueing to.
* Adhere the center pieces of the presents.  IMPORTANT: the center pieces may look the same in size but they are not!  Make sure you put the correct piece into the correct spot or it won't look right.
* Trim around the presents as needed 
* Adhere stampin' dimensionsals to the back of the presents and the sentiment piece.  
* Add the presents to the center of the Pool party strip (see picture)and the sentiment underneath the presents
* Stamp the inside as you see fit  (I stamped a few of the small presents that are in the stamp set and the other part of the sentiment)







Your card is complete!
