Project Recipe
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 Soft Sky Cardstock
- 2" x 4" of the multicolored stripe design from the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper, cut so the stripes are horizontal
- 2 squares each 3" square from Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock
- 3" square from Peekaboo Peach Cardstock
- 3" square from Whisper White Cardstock
- 1" x 2-1/4" from Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock
Adhere the strip of Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper to the bottom of the Soft Sky rectangle about 1/4" from the bottom.
Adhere the Soft Sky layer to the front of the Lemon Lime Twist card.
Mount the outline flamingo body image from the Fabulous Flamingo Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Berry Burst Ink Pad. Stamp it on the square of Whisper White Cardstock so the head is near the top of the square.
Mount the solid flamingo body image from the Fabulous Flamingo Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Peekaboo Peach Ink Pad. Stamp it inside the outline image already stamped.
Mount the full flamingo image from the Fabulous Flamingo Set on Block I. Ink it up with the Sweet Sugarplum Ink Pad. Stamp it on top of the previously stamped images.
Mount the tropical leaf image from the Fabulous Flamingo Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Tranquil Tide Ink Pad. Stamp it over the flamingo's back at a slight angle. Leave the stamp on the block.
Re-ink the tropical leaf image with the Tranquil Tide Ink Pad. Stamp off once on Grid Paper. Then, stamp the leaf again over the flamingo's back at a slight angle beside the previously stamped leaf.
Pick out the smooth square framelit from the Layering Squares Framelits that cuts out a smooth square that is 2-3/8" wide. Place the stamped flamingo image on the Whisper White square on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the smooth square framelit on top so the flamingo's tail barely gets cut off on the left side and the legs get cut off along the bottom. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Pick out the scalloped square framelit from the Layering Squares Framelits that cuts out a scalloped square that is 2-1/2" wide. Place the Peekaboo Peach square on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the scalloped square framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the flamingo square to the center of the scalloped Peekaboo Peach square.
Pick out the smooth square framelit from the Layering Squares Framelits that cuts out a smooth square that is 2-1/8" wide AND the smooth square framelit that cuts out a smooth square that is 2-3/8" wide. Place one square of the Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the two smooth square framelits on top so they are nestled inside each other. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. You will be using the hollow square cut out. You can put the solid square cut from the middle into your stash of scraps to use on a future project.
Repeat the step above with the other square of Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock so that you have two hollow square cut outs of Lemon Lime Twist.
Put some SNAIL on the back of the Peekaboo Peach framed flamingo square. Adhere some coils of Copper Metallic Thread to the back of the square.
Add some more SNAIL to the back of the Peekaboo Peach framed flamingo square as needed and adhere the two Lemon Lime Twist hollow square cut outs to the back at angles so they just peek out on the left and top edges of the flamingo square.
Adhere the squares to the card front so they are on the right side of the card and go over the top edge of the designer paper strip just a bit.
Mount the "thanks" sentiment from the Fabulous Flamingo Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Tranquil Tide Ink Pad and stamp it in the center of the small strip of Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock.
Pick out the small round ends banner framelit from the Bunch of Banners Framelits. Place the stamped sentiment on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the banner framelit on top so it is centered over the sentiment. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the sentiment banner to the card front so it overlaps the lower right side of the flamingo square and hangs over the right edge just a bit.
Pick out two tiny copper sequins from the Metallics Sequin Assortment. Put a tiny drop of Fine-Tip Glue Pen on either end of the sentiment banner and place the sequins on top. Allow them to dry.
