Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Coastal Cabana Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 3-3/8" x 4-5/8" from Pool Party Cardstock
- 3-1/4" x 4-1/2" from Basic White Cardstock
- 3-1/4" x 4-1/2" of small rounded squares and tiny dots of different shades of blue on white background design from Dandy Designs 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/4" square from Coastal Cabana Cardstock
- 2-1/4" square from Pool Party Cardstock
- 1" square from Basic White Cardstock
Pick out the long, skinny, bottom of a speech bubble die from the Conversation Bubbles Dies. Put it on top of one long side of the designer paper rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the right end of the die just hangs over the right side of the designer paper and you will cut about 1/2" of the designer paper off along the bottom edge. Run through the machine.
Note: There will be some designer paper not cut along the bottom left edge. You will take care of that in the next step.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut along the same slightly upward curve to cut the left edge of the bottom of the designer paper free.
Adhere the cut designer paper piece to the large, horizontal white rectangle so there is about 1/8" of white showing along the top edge. The right and left edges should be even.
Adhere the white/designer paper rectangle to the center of the large Pool Party rectangle.
Cut a 10-1/2" piece of the Coastal Cabana twine from the Three Twine Combo Pack. Fold the twine in half.
Lay the folded twine across the layered rectangle so it covers the seam between the cardstock and designer paper. Fold the ends of the folded twine over and secure the ends of the folded twine in place with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape strips and add Stampin' Seal to the back of the rectangle as needed. Adhere to the front of the Coastal Cabana card in the center.
Mount the "thank you" speech bubble image from the Conversation Bubbles Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Coastal Cabana Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Pool Party square.
Pick out the matching, slightly rounded square speech bubble with some hash marks along the edges and the point sticking off to the right die from the Conversation Bubbles Dies. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the sentiment is centered in the opening of the speech bubble. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces as needed. Leave the die out.
Note: You are using the solid sentiment speech bubble cut out for this project. Keep the hatch marked speech bubble frame cut out in Pool Party for use on another project.
Put the same speech bubble die on top of the Coastal Cabana square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces as needed.
Note: You are using the speech bubble frame cut out for this project. Keep the solid Coastal Cabana speech bubble cut out for use on another project.
Adhere the solid sentiment speech bubble cut out to the front of the card so the tail is just above and slightly to the left of the tail cut into the designer paper.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the Coastal Cabana speech bubble frame cut out to the front of the card so it frames the solid speech bubble cut out.
Mount the "oh!" speech bubble image from the Conversation Bubbles Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Coastal Cabana Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small white square.
Pick out the matching, small speech bubble die from the Conversation Bubbles Dies. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the sentiment is centered in the opening of the speech bubble. Run through the machine.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the tiny "oh!" speech bubble cut out to the front of the card at a slight angle so it overlaps the upper left corner of the large "thank you" speech bubble as shown.
Cut an 8" piece of the Coastal Cabana twine from the Three Twine Combo Pack.
Slide one end of the twine under the twine already on the card front on the right side. Tie in place with a small bow. Trim the ends of the twine.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 3 small Balmy Blue gems from a sheet of Iridescent Pastel Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the card front as shown in a slightly curving line from the bottom of the tail at the bottom of the designer paper.
