Pick out the long, skinny, bumpy edged strip with a tab die from the Hooray For Surprises Dies. Put it on top of the scrap cardstock rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered side to side, is about 1/4" from the bottom, and the long tab bit is on the right side. Run through the machine. Leave the die out.
Note: This die does NOT completely cut out the strip. Instead, it perforates the strip so it can be easily torn free later by the person who receives the card.
Carefully tear the perforated strip out of the scrap cardstock.
Put the piece of scrap cardstock with the strip torn out on top of the Coastal Cabana rectangle on top of a platform on your Stampin' Emboss Machine so the sides of both pieces of the cardstock are even. Put the long, skinny, bumpy edged strip with a tab die on top of the scrap cardstock rectangle so it is centered in the cut out area. Run through the machine.
As you are ready to stamp using the Hooray For Surprises 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 tiny "pull" sentiment from the Hooray For Surprises Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the tab of the perforated strip on the Coastal Cabana rectangle as shown.
Put the piece of scrap cardstock with the strip torn out of it on top of the 4" x 5-1/4" Parakeet Party rectangle so it is centered over the rectangle.
Mount the "you are simply amazing" sentiment from the Hooray For Surprises Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it on the Parakeet Party rectangle through the hole cut in the scrap cardstock so it is centered inside the hole.
Pick out the group of 5 large leaves in a row die from the Jungle Pals Dies. Put it on top of the Parakeet Party 1-1/2" x 2-3/4" rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. One at a time, put the die on top of the Lemon Lime Twist 1-1/2" x 2-3/4" rectangles on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen along the bottoms of the Lemon Lime Twist leaves cut outs to adhere them to the stamped Coastal Cabana rectangle just above the perforated strip as shown so they overlap each other a bit in the center.
Mount the alligator/crocodile image from the Jungle Pals Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 1-3/4" x 3" Granny Apple Green rectangle.
Pick out the matching alligator/crocodile die from the Jungle Pals Dies. Put the die on top of the stamped alligator/crocodile image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine.
Adhere the alligator/crocodile cut out to the Coastal Cabana rectangle so he is tucked into the leaves already on the cardstock as shown.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut one leaf off the end of the Parakeet Party leaves cut out on the left side.
Adhere the cut down large piece of Parakeet Party leaves cut out to the Coastal Cabana rectangle so they are tucked behind the alligator/crocodile cut out as shown.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the cut off Parakeet Party leaf cut out to the Coastal Cabana rectangle so it is tucked in between the two sets of Lemon Lime Twist leaves cut outs and overlaps the tail of the alligator/crocodile cut out as shown. This also helps to hide any gaps!
One at a time, peel the protective backings off of the Adhesive Sheets strips. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets strips to one side of the long, skinny Granny Apple Green strip; one side of the long, skinny Lemon Lime Twist strip; and one side of the long, skinny Parakeet Party strip. Be sure to leave the other protective backings in place for now.
Pick out the long, skinny, vine with leaves die from the Jungle Pals Dies. Put it on top of the Granny Apple Green strip on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the green side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces. Repeat with the Lemon Lime Twist and Parakeet Party strips.
Carefully remove the protective backing from one of the detailed vine cut outs. Adhere it to the top of the Coastal Cabana rectangle at an angle. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off any excess vine on the edges as needed. Adhere the other vine cut outs in the same way so they crisscross and connect to each other. Use extra bits cut off the edges to fill in any gaps as desired.
Tip: Try to line up the ends of the vines or place them where they will be covered by leaf cut outs or flower embellishments later.
Pick out the small, single leaf without stem die and the slightly larger, single leaf without stem die from the Jungle Pals Dies. Put them on top of the small Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist rectangles on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Do NOT let the dies or cardstock overlap. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Adhere the leaf cut outs to the vines at the top of the Coastal Cabana rectangle somewhere so they overlap and help fill in space and/or cover seams between the vines.
Add Stampin' Seal to the back of the Coastal Cabana rectangle well away from the perforated strip. Adhere the rectangle to the center of the sentiment stamped Parakeet Party rectangle making sure that the sentiment will be revealed when the perforated strip on the Coastal Cabana rectangle is torn off.
Important: Make sure NOT to put adhesive on the back of the perforated strip or you won't be able to pull off the strip.
Adhere the matted Coastal Cabana rectangle to the front of the Granny Apple Green card.
Carefully pick out three different yellow little flower and leaf embellishments from the Loose Daisy Embellishments.
Tip: Use the putty tip of the Take Your Pick to help you pick out the embellishments and apply them to the glue.
Put three tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen somewhere on the vines at the top of the card and adhere the yellow Loose Daisy Embellishments to the dots of liquid glue as shown.
Tip: Save the scrap cardstock with the perforated strip cut out of and removed from it to use as a template on further projects.
