Project Recipe
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Crumb Cake Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Pool Party Cardstock
- 2-5/8" x 2-7/8" from Crumb Cake Cardstock
- 2-1/2" x 2-3/4" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1" x 2-1/2" from Pecan Pie Cardstock
- 1" x 2-1/2" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1" x 2" from Basic White Cardstock
Insert the Pool Party rectangle into the So Swirly Embossing Folder. Use the line printed on the front flap of the folder to make sure it is lined up straight. Place the folder with the cardstock inside on the platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.
Cut a 4-3/4" piece of the Natural 3/8" Polka Dot Trim.
Lay the trim across the bottom of the vertical, dry embossed Pool Party rectangle so it is about 1" from the bottom edge. Fold the ends of the trim over and secure the trim in place on the back with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add Stampin' Seal to the back of the Pool Party rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the front of the Crumb Cake card.
As you are ready to stamp using the Friendly Seagulls Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Put a piece of Grid Paper on top of the Mat to protect it from ink.
Mount the seagull with fries in his beak image from the Friendly Seagulls Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it on the horizontal, 2-1/2" x 2-3/4", white rectangle so it is about 3/8" from the left and top edges.
Put the stamped white rectangle on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface because the Stampin' Blends do bleed through.
Use the Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends to color the feathers on the wings and tail of the bird as shown.
Use the Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends to color the bird's feet and beak.
Use the Crumb Cake and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends to color the french fries in the bird's beak.
Mount the flying birds image from the Friendly Seagulls Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Pool Party Ink Pad. Stamp it in the upper right corner of the stamped and colored white rectangle.
Mount the pile of sand image from the Friendly Seagulls Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Crumb Cake Ink Pad. Stamp it repeatedly across the bottom of the stamped white rectangle. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Let the images overlap and let some of the images go off the bottom, left, and right edges.
Adhere the stamped and colored white rectangle to the center of the small Crumb Cake rectangle and then to the front of the card so it is centered side to side and is about 3/4" from the top.
Pick out the log die from the Otterly Amazing Dies. Put it on top of the Pecan Pie rectangle 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.
Adhere the log cut out to the front of the card so it is centered side to side on the stamped and colored white rectangle and it appears that the bird's feet are resting on the top of the log as shown.
Mount the box of french fries image from the Friendly Seagulls Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it twice on the remaining, vertical white strip leaving room to cut the images out. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.
Put the stamped white strip on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface because the Stampin' Blends do bleed through.
Use the Crumb Cake and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends to color the french fries.
Use the Dark Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends to color the bun on the boxes.
Use the Dark Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends to color the hamburger patty on the boxes.
Use the Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends to color the boxes.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut out the colored french fries boxes by hand.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the cut out french fries boxes to the front of the card as shown.
Unlock the Happy Labels Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of the 1" x 2-1/2" white strip into the right side of the punch (the side of the punch with the smaller scallops) as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch. Repeat on the other end.
Mount the "I love you more than" sentiment from the Friendly Seagulls Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it on the punched strip so it is close to the top and is centered side to side.
Mount the "french fries" sentiment from the Friendly Seagulls Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Crumb Cake Ink Pad. Stamp it on the punched strip so it is centered below the previously stamped sentiment.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment strip to the front of the card so it is centered over the ribbon just below the main image as shown.
