Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and vellum designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Pool Party 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 Pool Party vellum from So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper
- 2" x 5-1/8" from Whisper White Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3" of Soft Sea Foam vellum from So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper
- 2-1/2" x 3" from Whisper White Cardstock
Use Mini Glue Dots behind a couple of the dots in the centers of the squares on the left side of the BACK of the Pool Party So Very Vellum rectangle and lines of SNAIL vertically down the right side at least 1/2" in and no more than 2" in of the BACK of the Pool Party So Very Vellum to adhere it to the large white rectangle.
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. Put a piece of paper (Grid Paper works great) on top of the mat to protect it from ink.
Mount the single, outline flower image from the Tags In Bloom Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Pool Party Ink Pad. Stamp it randomly all over the 2" x 5-1/8" white rectangle. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Rotate the orientation of the stamp every so often. Let some of the images go off the edges of the cardstock.
Mount the single, solid flower image from the Tags In Bloom Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Pool Party Ink Pad. BEFORE STAMPING ON THE CARDSTOCK, stamp off on Grid Paper. Then, WITHOUT RE-INKING, stamp it inside all the previously stamped flowers on the 2" x 5-1/8" white rectangle. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time and stamp off each time.
Mount the set of 2 outline buds image from the Tags In Bloom Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Pool Party Ink Pad. Stamp it all over the 2" x 5-1/8" white rectangle so the buds appear to be sticking out from the previously stamped flowers at different areas. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.
Mount the set of 2 solid buds image from the Tags In Bloom Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Pool Party Ink Pad. Stamp it inside all the previously stamped buds on the 2" x 5-1/8" white rectangle. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.
Mount the tiny, outline leaf image from the Tags In Bloom Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Mint Macaron Ink Pad. Stamp it all over the white rectangle so it appears to be sticking out from the flowers on different sides. Also stamp it randomly in the open white spaces. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Rotate the orientation of the stamp every so often. Let some of the images go off the edges of the cardstock.
Mount the single, solid, slightly-ovoid flower center image from the Tags In Bloom Set on Block A. Ink it up with the So Saffron Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of all the previously stamped flowers on the 2" x 5-1/8" white rectangle. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.
Adhere the stamped white strip to the left side of the layered vellum/white layer so it covers the lines of SNAIL used to adhere the vellum to the white rectangle.
Unlock the Label Me Lovely Punch. Slide the strip of Soft Sea Foam So Very Vellum Specialty Designer Paper into the punch. Punch.
Put a short line of SNAIL horizontally across the BACK of the vellum punch out so the straight sides of the punch out are on the left and right sides. Adhere the vellum punch out to the layered white/vellum/stamped strip in the bottom right corner so it overlaps the right side of the stamped strip a bit and the bumps in the vellum punch out line up with the bumps on the Pool Party vellum layer.
Mount the smaller, scroll work, outlined tag image from the Tags In Bloom Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Mint Macaron Ink Pad. Stamp it horizontally on the bottom of the 2-1/2" x 3" white strip when the 2-1/2" edge is horizontal.
Unlock the Label Me Fancy Punch. Hold the punch upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide one short edge of the stamped label into the side of the Label Me Fancy Punch that punches out a small circle. Get the punching area centered over the scroll work points on one side of the image and punch. Repeat with the other short edge of the stamped label. Leave the punch unlocked.
Hold the Label Me Fancy Punch upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the stamped label into the punch and get it centered in the punching area. Punch.
Mount the "Just for you" or "Sending hugs" sentiment from the Tags In Bloom Set on an appropriate size block. Ink it up with the Pool Party Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the label punch out.
Cut a 4-1/2" piece of the Mint Macaron 1/8" Sheer Linen Ribbon.
Thread the sentiment punch out onto the ribbon and get it centered on the right side of the ribbon.
Put some SNAIL on the back of the label punch out.
Lay the ribbon with sentiment punch out threaded on it across the matted designer paper vellum/cardstock rectangle so the label punch out is centered over the vellum punch out. 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 Whisper White rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the front of the Pool Party card.
Cut an 8" piece of the Mint Macaron 1/8" Sheer Linen Ribbon.
Tie the ribbon in a small bow. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot (squish it down a bit) to adhere the tiny bow to the front of the card so it is centered over the ribbon already on the card front to the left of the label punch out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a large pearl from a sheet of Pearl Basic Jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to a dot in the upper right corner of the vellum on the card front.
