Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and glimmer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- 2-1/4" x 3-3/4" of dark Starry Sky glimmer paper from 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper
- 1/2" x 3-1/4" from Lemon Lolly Cardstock
- 1-1/4" square from Lemon Lolly Cardstock
- 1-1/4" x 2-1/2" from Lemon Lolly Cardstock
- 1" square of dark Starry Sky glimmer paper from 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper
Pick out the lantern die from the Lighting The Way Dies. Put it on top of the large Starry Sky glimmer paper 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.
As you are ready to stamp using the Lighting The Way Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the largest rough circle image from the Lighting The Way Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Lemon Lolly Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small Lemon Lolly square.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut out the rough circle image by hand.
Put a tiny drop of Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen behind the crossed wires in the center of the lantern image. Adhere the cut out rough circle to the back of the lantern so the bottom edge is tucked under the top of the lantern pan and it is centered behind the crossed wires.
Use Stampin' Seal and/or Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the lantern with layered light ball to the front of a Tahitian Tide card from the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes so it is about 1/2" from the bottom and 3/4" from the left edge.
Unlock the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch. Slide one short edge of the thin Lemon Lolly strip into the right side of the punch (the side of the punch with the flatter edge) as far as it will go and get it centered. Punch.
Mount the "happy birthday" sentiment from the Something Fancy Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Starry Sky Ink Pad. Stamp the sentiment in the center of the punched Lemon Lolly strip so it is closer to the right edge with the punched edge on the right side.
Adhere the punched and stamped sentiment strip to the front of the card so the left, flat end of the strip is tucked under the right side of the lantern on the bottom as shown. Leave about 1/2" of cardstock showing between the right edge of the lantern and the left edge of the sentiment.
Mount the large firefly image from the Lighting The Way Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Starry Sky Ink Pad. Stamp it on one side of the 1-1/4" x 2-1/2" Lemon Lolly rectangle, leaving room to cut it out.
Mount the medium firefly image from the Lighting The Way Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Starry Sky Ink Pad. Stamp it on the other side of the 1-1/4" x 2-1/2" Lemon Lolly rectangle, leaving room to cut it out.
Pick out the matching large, open firefly die and the matching medium, open firefly die from the Lighting The Way Dies. Put them on top of the stamped firefly images on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so they are centered over the images. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals and Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the firefly cut outs to the front of the card as shown.
Pick out one of the solid, detailed, small firefly dies from the Lighting The Way Dies. Put it on top of the small Starry Sky glimmer paper 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.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the small, solid, detailed, glimmer paper firefly cut out to the front of the card as shown.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 2 large darker Starry Sky dots from a sheet of 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere one to the center of the crossed wires over the light on the lantern and the other to the space between the lantern and sentiment on the sentiment strip as shown.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 3 small darker Starry Sky dots from a sheet of 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them randomly to the card front amongst the firefly cut outs as shown.
