Adhere the strip of green and blue brushstrokes on white Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper to the large rectangle of Soft Sky Cardstock.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of Emerald Envy 5/8" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the designer paper and cardstock piece about 3/4" up from the bottom. Flip the designer paper/cardstock over and fold the ends of the ribbon over. Adhere the ends of the ribbon in place with pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strips and add more SNAIL to the back of the cardstock. Adhere it to the left front flap of the Emerald Envy card.
Cut a 4" piece of Emerald Envy 5/8" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. Tie it to the ribbon already on the card front with a half knot in the center. Trim the ends.
Pick out the scalloped square framelit from the Layering Squares Framelits that cuts out a 2" wide scalloped square. Place the Emerald Envy square on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the scalloped square framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Pick out the square framelit from the Layering Squares Framelits that cuts out a 1-5/8" wide square. Place the Soft Sky square on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the square framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Leave the 1-5/8" wide square framelit out as you will be using it again on a later step.
Adhere the Soft Sky square to the center of the scalloped Emerald Envy square. Then, adhere the squares to the left front flap of the Emerald Envy card about 1" from the top and centered side to side on the flap.
Mount the "celebrate you" sentiment from the Birthday Blossoms Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Emerald Envy Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white square.
Place the stamped sentiment square on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the 1-5/8" square framelit on top so it forms a diamond around the sentiment with the sentiment as close to the top of the diamond as possible. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Use the edge of the brush tip of the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to paint some shimmer on the edges of the sentiment square.
Pick out the square framelit from the Layering Squares Framelits that cuts out a 1-7/8" wide square. Place the Lemon Lime Twist square on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the square framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the sentiment diamond to the center of the Lemon Lime Twist diamond (square).
Adhere the matted sentiment diamond to the left front flap on the card so it is centered over the squares already there.
Pick out one of the Emerald Envy x shapes from the 2016-2018 In Color Glitter Acrylic Shapes. Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere it to the card front over the tail of the "y" in the word "you."
If you haven't already done so, carefully cut out one of the large diamond gemstones from the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper using Paper Snips.
Use the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to paint some shimmer onto the cut out gemstone.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the cut out diamond gemstone to the lower right side of the sentiment diamond.
