Cut cardstock and Memories & More Card Pack pieces to the following sizes using a cutting and scoring tool:
- card from Crumb Cake Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" of black, tan, and white stripes large card from Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" from Crumb Cake Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 2" from Crumb Cake Cardstock
Mount the man giving a shoulder ride image from the A Good Man Set on Block I. Ink it up with the Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the larger Crumb Cake rectangle.
Pick out the stitched rectangle die from the Stitched Rectangles Dies that cuts out a 1-3/4" x 3-1/8" rectangle. Put it on top of the stamped man giving a shoulder ride image on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the image is centered. Run through the tool.
Mount the "being a good day..." sentiment from the A Good Man Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the smaller Crumb Cake rectangle.
Pick out the stitched rectangle die from the Stitched Rectangles Dies that cuts out a 1-3/16" x 1-5/8" rectangle. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the sentiment is centered. Run through the tool.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the rectangle cut outs on the cut down Memories & More card to get an idea of spacing.
Peel up a long brown rope sticker from one of the sheets in the Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack. Adhere it to the bottom of the cut down Memories & More card where it will run under the smaller sentiment rectangle. Trim off excess on the ends.
Adhere the larger man giving a shoulder ride rectangle to the cut down Memories & More card so it is about 1/2" from the left side and 1/2" from the top.
Adhere the smaller sentiment rectangle to the cut down Memories & More card so it overlaps the larger rectangle on the lower right just a tiny bit and overlaps the rope sticker a bit as well.
Place the card front on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to poke holes through all layers in the upper right corner and lower left corner. Try to line up the holes in the center of the stripes and/or rope sticker and centered over and below the rectangle cut outs.
Pick out a large, button-top, gold brad and a small, gold brad from the Basic Brads. Insert the prongs through the holes in the card front. Make sure the large brad is in the top hole and the small brad is in the bottom hole. Flip the card front over and bend the prongs of the brads flat.
Adhere the card front to the front of the Crumb Cake card.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of 3/8" Denim Ribbon.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot at a slight angle to the card front so it overlaps the upper left corner of the smaller sentiment rectangle.
