Cut card stock and glimmer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Cucumber Crush Card Stock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Pacific Point Card Stock
- 2" x 3" from Gold Glimmer Paper
- 2-1/2" x 3-3/8" from Whisper White Card Stock
- 1" x 4" from Cucumber Crush Card Stock
Place the Pacific Point rectangle into the Seaside Embossing Folder so the lines are running horizontally across the card stock. Place the folder with the card stock inside on top of a Cutting Pad on your Big Shot Platform at the lowest possible setting. Place another Cutting Pad on top of the folder and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the dry embossed Pacific Point rectangle to the front of the Cucumber Crush card.
Open the Banner Triple Punch. Slide one short edge of the Gold Glimmer Paper strip into the punch as far as it will go. Punch. Slide the other end into the punch and punch again. Cut the punched glimmer paper strip in half down the middle using Paper Snips.
Put pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the two notched pieces of glimmer paper. Remove the protective backings and adhere the notched glimmer paper pieces to the center of the card front so the points on each are right up to the sides of the Pacific Point layer. Make sure the two pieces line up horizontally.
Mount the dragonfly wings image from the Dragonfly Dreams Photopolymer Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Cucumber Crush Ink Pad. Stamp it across the top of the white rectangle. Let the ink dry for a few minutes.
Once the ink of the wings is dry, rub the Embossing Buddy across the white rectangle.
Mount the complete dragonfly image on Block E. Ink it up with the VersaMark Pad. Stamp it over the top of the stamped wings.
Give the container of Emerald Envy Glitter Stampin' Emboss Powder a good shake to make sure the glitter and embossing powder are well mixed. Sprinkle some of the powder on the white rectangle and tap off excess. Return the excess to the jar.
Use the Heat Tool to completely melt the embossing powder. It will be very shiny when it is completely melted and should not rub off when lightly touched.
Mount the grouping of dots image on Block H. Ink it up with the Pacific Point Ink Pad. Stamp it across the bottom of the stamped and embossed white rectangle a couple of times, re-inking each time. Then, ink up the stamp again and stamp off onto scratch paper before stamping a little higher on the white rectangle. Repeat a few times remembering to stamp off each time. Then, repeat it again a couple of times a little higher and stamping off twice each time.
Put SNAIL Adhesive on the back of the stamped and embossed white rectangle. Add some loops of Gold Metallic Thread to the back of the rectangle, adhering it to the SNAIL as you go.
Adhere the stamped and embossed white rectangle with metallic thread looped around it to the center of the card front.
Mount a sentiment of choice on Block H. Ink it up with the Pacific Point Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Cucumber Crush strip.
Pick out the pointy-ended label framelit from the Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits. Place the stamped sentiment on a Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on your Big Shot. Place the label framelit on top so the sentiment is centered. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the sentiment label to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals so it goes across the bottom of the dragonfly tail and is centered side to side over the dragonfly.
