Cut cardstock, foil sheets, vellum, and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Bermuda Bay Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" of multicolored bubbles on white background design from Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper
- 2 pieces each 1-1/2" x 6" from Calypso Coral Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 6" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 4" from Vellum Cardstock
- 1-1/4" x 1-1/2" of stars on blue background design from Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper
- 1-1/2" x 3-3/4" from Bermuda Bay Cardstock
- scrap from Whisper White Cardstock
- scrap from Silver Foil Sheets
Make sure you have some Grid Paper on your work surface to protect it from ink. Place the piece of vellum in the center of the Grid Paper.
Cut a Stamping Sponge into quarters so you have more sponges to work with. Rub the rounded side of the sponge quarter across the open Calypso Coral Ink Pad to get it inky. Then, rub it onto the bottom 3" inches of the piece of vellum. Get more ink on the sponge as needed. Keep adding ink until you have the color saturation you want. Leave about 1" of vellum at the top without ink!
Tip: I just clean my sponges when I'm done using them by running them under water until no more color is coming off. Then, I let them air dry. They may be stained, but they are clean enough to use with any color of ink in the future.
Mount the set of bubbles image from the Bubble Over Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Calypso Coral Ink Pad. Stamp it randomly all over the colored portion of the vellum. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Let some of the bubbles go off the edge. Set the vellum aside to let it dry while you work on the rest of the card.
Mount the "May your day Bubble Over with happiness." sentiment from the Bubble Over Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Bermuda Bay Ink Pad. Stamp it on the long white strip of cardstock so it is about 1/4" from the top and about 1" from the right edge.
Pick out the long, thin scallop edge thinlit from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits. Place one long strip of Calypso Coral cardstock on a Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the long, thin scallop edge thinlit on top as close to a long edge as you can get it. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the stamped white sentiment strip to the scalloped Calypso Coral strip so the scallops just peek out from behind the white strip on the bottom.
Adhere another long, thin Calypso Coral strip to the top of the stamped sentiment white strip so only about 1/16" of Calypso Coral shows along the top.
Adhere the matted sentiment strip to the large piece of Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper at a slight upward angle from the left to the right. Use Paper Snips to trim off excess cardstock on either side.
Cut a 6" piece of Lemon Lime Twist 1/4" Ombre Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the cardstock and designer paper so it is about 1/4" below the stamped sentiment on the white layer. Flip the cardstock/designer paper 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 designer paper. Adhere it to the large Bermuda Bay rectangle and then to the front of the Lemon Lime Twist card.
Pick out one of the bottle cap framelits from the Bottles & Bubbles Framelits. Place the Silver Foil Sheets scrap on the Precision Base Plate on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the bottle cap framelit on top. Place a Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot a couple of times. Use the Die Brush to remove the pieces.
Use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen or a Mini Glue Dot (slightly squished) to adhere the bottle cap cut out at a slight angle to the lower right side of the stamped sentiment.
Pick out the small bottle framelit from the Bottles & Bubbles Framelits. Place the sponged and stamped vellum on a Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the small bottle framelit on top so the top of the bottle will be plain vellum. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Pick out the larger six-sided label framelit from the Bottles & Bubbles Framelits. Place the stars on blue piece of Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper on a Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the label framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the label cut out to the center of the bottle cut out.
Pick out the straw framelit that bends to the right from the Bottles & Bubbles Framelits Dies. Place the small Bermuda Bay rectangle on the Precision Base Plate on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the straw framelit on top. Place a Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot a couple of times. Use the Die Brush to remove the pieces.
Put some SNAIL on the back of the bottle cut out where it is hidden by the label. Adhere the straw cut out to the center of the back of the bottle using the SNAIL behind the label and a Mini Glue Dot on the front of the straw near the top of the bottle. Make sure the straw is still bending to the right.
Add more SNAIL to the back of the bottle where it is hidden by the label and some squished Mini Glue Dots to the back of the straw. Adhere the bottle to the card front so it is tilted to the right and is on the left side of the sentiment strip.
Mount the "for you" circle sentiment on Block A. Ink it up with the Calypso Coral Ink Pad. Stamp in the center of the scrap of Whisper White Cardstock.
Pick out the matching small jagged edge circle framelit from the Bottles & Bubbles Framelits. Place the stamped "for you" sentiment on a Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the small jagged edge circle framelit on top so it is centered over the image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Use a Mini Stampin' Dimensional to adhere the "for you" cut out to the center of the label on the bottle.
Cut a 3" piece of Lemon Lime Twist 1/4" Ombre Ribbon. Slide one end under the ribbon on the card front near the right side of the bottle. Tie it in place with a half knot. Trim the ends.
Carefully peel up one large glittery circle and one small glittery circle from a sheet of Glitter & Clear Epoxy Shapes making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere them to the upper part of the bottle. Carefully peel up one more large glittery circle being sure to get the adhesive as well. Adhere it to the center of the one of the bubbles on the designer paper on the right side over the sentiment strip.
