G reat masculine card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock, designer paper, Foil Sheets, and Adhesive Sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Basic Gray Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Basic Black Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" of small brass globes in lines on dark gray background design from from World Of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper, cut so the globes are horizontal on the horizontal rectangle
- 1-1/2" x 5-1/2" from Basic Gray Cardstock
- 2-1/2" x 3" from Basic Black Cardstock
- 2-3/8" x 2-7/8" from Adhesive Sheets
- 2" square from Brass Foil Sheets
- 1-7.8" square from Adhesive Sheets
Adhere the piece of World Of Good Specialty Designer Paper to the large Basic Black rectangle and then to the front of the Basic Gray card.
Unlock the Banner Triple Punch. Slide one short edge of the Basic Gray strip into the punch as far as it will go. Punch.
Pick out the long skinny die with hatch markings on it from the World Map Dies. Put it on top of the punched strip of Basic Gray on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is as close as possible to the unpunched end of the strip and crosses the strip vertically. Make sure neither the ends of the die or the ends of the cardstock poke over the edges of the platform or they will catch on the sides and mess up your tools. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick and Die Brush Tip as needed to remove the pieces.
Mount the "Life's A Beautiful Journey," "Adventure Awaits!," or "You Make The World A Better Place" sentiment from the Beautiful World Set on an appropriate sized block. Ink it up with the Memento Pad or Jet Black StazOn Ink Pad and stamp it on the right end of the punched and die-cut banner strip as close as possible to the notched end with the notched end on the right side.
If desired, mount the longer, skinny flourish image from the Beautiful World Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Memento Pad or Jet Black StazOn Ink Pad and stamp it on the punched and die-cut banner strip under or to the left of the sentiment.
Adhere the stamped, punched, and die cut banner strip to the front of the card so it is about 5/8" from the bottom and the left, flat end of the strip is even with the left side of the designer paper rectangle.
Peel the protective backing off of the Adhesive Sheets rectangle. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets rectangle to one side of the small Basic Black rectangle. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Pick out the large globe stand die from the World Map Dies. Put it on top of the black rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the black side is facing up. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Peel the protective backing off of the Adhesive Sheets square. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets square to the BACK (white) side of the Brass Foil Sheets square. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Pick out the globe die from the World Map Dies that shows the hemisphere you want. Put it on top of the Brass Foil Sheets square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the foil sheet is facing up (shiny, brass side up). Run through the tool. Use the Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip and Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the black globe stand cut out on the front of the card so it is evenly spaced between the sentiment and the hash marks cut into the left end of the sentiment strip and the bottom of the curved bowl at the top of the stand is at the top of the sentiment strip.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the back of the globe cut out. Adhere the globe cut out to the front of the card by sliding it under the curved bowl of the globe stand and getting it centered under the curved bowl.
Now, carefully remove the protective backing from the back of the globe stand cut out. Adhere the globe stand cut out to the front of the card in the same place as before so the curved bowl at the top of the stand is around the brass globe cut out.
Cut a 12" piece of the Basic Gray Twine from the Well Suited Twine Combo Pack.
Fold the twine in half. Tie a small bow in the center of the folded twine. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the twine bow to the front of the card just above the base of the globe stand cut out.
