Dressed To Impress Sparkly Mint Shoes |
F un card using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Mint Macaron Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" of white shoes on light green background design from Best Dressed 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
- 3" square from Seaside Spray Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" from Silver Foil Sheets
- 1" x 3" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2 pieces each 1-1/2" square from Mint Macaron Cardstock
- 2 pieces each 1" x 3" from Mint Macaron Cardstock
Pick out the skinny, filigree line die from the Painted Labels Dies. Put it on top of one of the 1" x 3" Mint Macaron rectangles on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Run through the tool. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. Repeat with the other 1" x 3" Mint Macaron rectangle.
Adhere the two filigree line cut outs to the bottom edge of the Best Dressed Designer Paper strip so only the half circles show along the bottom edge of the designer paper. Make sure the edges of the filigree line cut outs are flush with the left and right edges of the designer paper strip. Don't worry that there is a small gap between the two filigree line cut outs near the center, it will be covered in a later step.
Adhere the designer paper strip with filigree line cut outs attached to the top of the 4" x 5-1/4" white rectangle so only about 1/16" of white shows on the top, left, and right edges.
Cut a 6" piece of Seaside Spray 1/4" Metallic Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the designer paper/white rectangle so it covers the seam between the designer paper and the filigree line cut outs. Secure the ribbon in place on the back with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add SNAIL to the back of the white rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the front of the Mint Macaron card.
Pick out the large scribble circle die from the Painted Labels Dies. Put it on top of the Seaside Spray square on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Run through the tool. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Unlock the 2" Circle Punch. Slide the Silver Foil Sheets strip into the punch. Punch.
Adhere the silver foil circle punch out to the center of the scribble circle cut out using strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
As you are ready to stamp using the Dressed To Impress Photopolymer 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 "Life is short, buy the shoes." sentiment from the Dressed To Impress Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Mint Macaron Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 1" x 3" white strip,
Pick out the long, skinny label die from the All Dressed Up Dies. 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.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment cut out to the center of the matted silver foil circle.
Adhere the matted sentiment circle to the front of the card so the sentiment label is centered over the ribbon on the right side of the card.
Cut a 3" piece of Seaside Spray 1/4" Metallic Ribbon.
Slide one end of the ribbon under the ribbon already on the card just to the left of the matted sentiment circle. Tie in place with a half knot. Trim the ends.
Mount the high heel shoe image from the Dressed To Impress Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Mint Macaron Ink Pad. Stamp it once on each of the Mint Macaron squares. Remember to re-ink the stamp with the Mint Macaron Ink Pad each time.
Pick out the high heel shoe die from the All Dressed Up Dies. One at a time, put it on top of a stamped shoe image on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the image is centered. Run through the tool. Repeat with the other shoe image.
Use the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to paint some glitter onto the shoes.
Adhere one shoe cut out flat to the front of the card in the lower left corner.
Use Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the other shoe cut out to the front of the card so it slightly overlaps the first shoe cut out on the left side and slightly below.
