Project Recipe
Cut cardstock, vellum, and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Soft Succulent Cardstock 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Soft Succulent Cardstock
- 3-1/2" x 5" from Night Of Navy Cardstock
- 3-1/4" x 4-1/2" of watery blue and green design from Rings Of Love 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 3-1/2" square from Soft Succulent Cardstock
- 1-3/4" square from Vellum Cardstock
As you are ready to stamp using the Friends Are Like Seashells Set, place the cardstock or vellum on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the "for you" sentiment from the Friends Are Like Seashells Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Evening Evergreen Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the vellum square. Set the vellum square aside to allow the ink to dry.
Pick out the die that is 3" x 3-7/8" from the Layering Diorama Dies. Put it on top of the vertical 4" x 5-1/4" Soft Succulent rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is vertical and is about 1/2" from the right edge and about 3/4" from the bottom edge. Run through the machine.
Note: You are using the large horizontal rectangle with the cut out in the corner for this project. Save the cut out piece for use on a future project.
Put the 4" x 5-1/4" Soft Succulent rectangle with the hole cut out of it into the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder so the hole is closer to the bottom and right sides vertically. Place the folder with the cardstock inside on the platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.
Pick out the die that is 2-5/8" x 3-3/8" from the Layering Diorama Dies. Put it on top of the Night Of Navy rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered inside the rectangle. Run through the machine.
Note: You are using the large rectangle with the cut out in the center for this project. Save the cut out piece for use on a different project.
Adhere the Night Of Navy rectangle with the hole cut out of it to the back of the dry embossed Soft Succulent rectangle so a bit of Night Of Navy shows around the rim of the hole. Use Paper Snips Scissors as needed to cut off excess Night Of Navy Cardstock showing past the edges of the Soft Succulent rectangle.
Adhere the piece of Rings Of Love Designer Paper to the back of the layered Soft Succulent/Night Of Navy rectangle so the designer paper shows through the hole. Use Paper Snips Scissors as needed to cut off any excess designer paper showing past the edges of the Soft Succulent rectangle.
Adhere the layered, cut, and dry embossed rectangle with designer paper attached to the front of the Soft Succulent card.
Mount the conch image from the Friends Are Like Seashells Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Evening Evergreen Ink Pad. Stamp it vertically along the left side side of the Soft Succulent square leaving room to cut it out.
Place the large, detailed shells and seaweed die from the Seaside Seashells Dies on top of the stamped conch image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the conch image is centered in the corresponding area of the die. Run through the tool. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces if needed. Keep all the pieces!
Use Paper Snips Scissors as needed to cut the conch image loose from the rest of the die cut and trim down any of the seaweed cut along the right edge of the square.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the trimmed down seaweed to the front of the card so it is along the left side of the hole cut out as shown and the base of the seaweed touches the Night Of Navy rim of the hole on the lower left side.
If the ink on the vellum is dry, proceed with the next step.
Pick out the smooth circle die that cuts out a 1-1/8" circle from the Layering Circles Dies. Put it on top of the sentiment stamped vellum square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the sentiment is centered in the die. Run through the machine.
Put a thin line of Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen on the back of the vellum circle cut out along the edge under and to the right of the word "you" when face up.
Adhere the vellum sentiment circle cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the lower left side of the hole as shown.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the conch shell cut out to the front of the card as shown so it overlaps the bottom right side of the vellum circle cut out and the bottom of the hole.
Cut a 4" piece of the Soft Succulent 1/2" Satin Shimmer Ribbon.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card at a slight angle as shown so it overlaps the bottom of the vellum circle cut out and the tip of the conch shell a bit.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up one large and two small Soft Succulent opals from the sheet of 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them in a rough triangle to the upper right side of the designer paper inside the hole.
