This stamp set and punch can be purchased as a bundle, saving you 15%. It is on page 31 of the Stampin'Up! Holiday catalog. I first punched out of scrap paper, then placed my photopolymer stamps inside the negative punched area with the flat side up. After getting it all aligned, then I placed a clear block on top. Now I can just stamp once and punch! This is a great perk with photopolymer stamps and punches. I also did this with the Acorny Thank You stamp set and coordinating punch. The background technique is inspired by Rachel Tessman, who got the idea from a Cheryl Lee. You need to use the diagonal plate on the Simply Scored Scoring Tool, page 164 of the annual catalog. My layer is 4 x 5.25. This was placed on the diagonal plate and scored every inch. Turn 90 degrees, and score again, every 1 inch. Then just sponge on both sides of every fold. So fold along the score lines, sponge, and sponge again so you get both sides of each fold. Here my layer is Mint Macaron and I sponged with the same color. My flower is Real Red, stamped with Real Red Ink. My sentiment which is included in this stamp set, is die cut with the Tags & Labels Framelits, page 173. I used a mini brad to hold my flower together but you can use glue. I did punch a 1 3/8" circle for my base and started my biggest flowers on that. I did use snail until I got to the top petals. I finished it off with the Dazzling Details glitter adhesive on each sponged "intersection".
