Cut cardstock 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 Pool Party Cardstock
- 3-1/4" x 3-3/4" of green and blue succulents on white background design from Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper
- 2" x 3-3/4" of large Lemon Lime Twist plaid design from Gingham Gala 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/4" square from Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock
- 2" square from Whisper White Cardstock
As you are ready to stamp using the More Than Words Set, place the designer paper on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the full word "wishes" image from the More Than Words Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Call Me Clover Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Gingham Gala Designer Paper strip about 3/8" from the bottom edge.
Mount the "birthday" sentiment from the More Than Words Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Pacific Point Ink Pad. Stamp it over the top of the word "wishes" so it overlaps a bit.
Adhere the stamped Gingham Gala Designer Paper strip to the bottom of the Pool Party rectangle leaving about 1/8" showing on the bottom, left, and right edges.
Adhere the piece of Painted Seasons Designer Paper to the top of the Pool Party rectangle leaving about 1/8" showing on the top, left, and right edges. Let the paper overlap the Gingham Gala paper a bit.
Cut a 4-1/2" piece of the Pool Party 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the designer papers/ cardstock rectangle so it covers the seam between the two pieces of designer paper. Flip the rectangle 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 SNAIL to the back of the Pool Party rectangle. Adhere it to the front of the Lemon Lime Twist card.
Mount the succulent image from the Painted Seasons Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Pool Party Ink Pad. BEFORE stamping, use the brush tip of the Pacific Point Marker to add some lines of color to the lines on the inky image. Then, use the Sponge Dauber to lightly smear the ink of the lines on the stamp. Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink and stamp in the center of the white square.
Adhere the stamped white square to the Lemon Lime Twist square. Then, adhere the matted square to the card front in the center of the Painted Seasons Designer Paper.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up one flower-shaped Lemon Lime Twist sequin from a sheet of Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the stamped succulent.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up one tiny Clear Rhinestone Basic Jewel from a sheet of the jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the sequin in the center of the stamped succulent.
Cut a 4" piece of the Pool Party 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon.
Tie a half knot in the center. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the center of the ribbon already on the card front.
