M asculine card using no stamping but lots of Stampin' Up!
|
|
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Balmy Blue at 6-1/4" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- lines of vertical dark blue anchors on lighter blue background cut from side of small card from the Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack
- large "Let's Go Somewhere and Do Something" card from Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack, trimmed down to 5-1/2" long
Note: This card is bigger than the usual card to accommodate the Memories & More card. You will need to use a larger envelope to mail it.
Adhere the cut off piece of anchors from the small Memories & More Card to the left side of the large trimmed down "Let's Go Somewhere and Do Something" card so the completed piece is 6-1/4" long.
Cut a 4-1/2" piece of 3/8" Denim Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the card pieces so it covers the seam between the two pieces. Secure in place on the back with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add SNAIL to the back of the cards. Adhere to the front of the Balmy Blue card so it is centered top to bottom.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of 3/8" Denim Ribbon.
Slide one end of the small piece of ribbon under the ribbon already on the card front near the top. Tie in place using a half knot. Trim the ends.
Peel up a white letters on blue "You & Me" sticker from one of the sheets in the Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack. Adhere it to the card front so it sticks out to the right from the knotted on ribbon piece.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick tool to pick up a Clear Faceted Gem being sure to get adhesive as well. Adhere to the center of the compass rose on the right side of the card front.
