- 4" x 5-1/4" from Coastal Cabana Cardstock

Lightly spritz the Coastal Cabana rectangle with water and insert into the Stone 3D Embossing Folder. Place the folder with the paper inside on your die cutting and embossing tool and run through the machine. Set aside to dry.
As you are ready to stamp using the Lovely Lily Pad Photopolymer 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 large lily pad stamp from the Lovely Lily Pad Set on Block H so the detailed side of the stamp is the one you will be stamping. Ink up the stamp with the Garden Green Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 1-1/4" x 3" strip of Garden Green.
Pick out the large lily pad die from the Lily Pad Dies. Put it on top of the stamped large lily pad image on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so it is centered over the image. Run through the tool.
Mount the lily flower bracket stamp from the Lovely Lily Pad Set on Block B so the detailed side of the stamp is the one you will be stamping. Ink up the stamp with the Garden Green Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the remaining Garden Green piece.
Pick out the lily flower bracket die from the Lily Pad Dies. Put it on top of the stamped lily flower bracket image on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so it is centered over the image. Run through the tool.
Mount the medium lily flower stamp from the Lovely Lily Pad Set on Block B so the detailed side of the stamp is the one you will be stamping. Ink up the stamp with the Pretty Peacock Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 1-1/2" square of mottled pink, blue, and green Lily Impressions Designer Paper.
Pick out the medium lily flower die from the Lily Pad Dies. Put it on top of the stamped medium lily flower image on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so it is centered over the image. Run through the tool.
Mount the large lily flower stamp from the Lovely Lily Pad Set on Block D so the detailed side of the stamp is the one you will be stamping. Ink up the stamp with the Pretty Peacock Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 2-1/4" x 3" piece of mottled pink, blue, and green Lily Impressions Designer Paper.
Pick out the large lily flower die from the Lily Pad Dies. Put it on top of the stamped large lily flower image on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so it is centered over the image. Run through the tool.
Mount the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the Sending You Thoughts Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Garden Green Ink Pad. Stamp it in the upper right corner of the white square. Leave room to cut out the circle.
Pick out the smooth circle die from the Layering Circles Dies that cuts out a circle that is 1-15/16" diameter. Put it on top of the stamped sentiment white square on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so the sentiment is in the upper right. Run through the tool.
Pick out the scalloped circle die from the Layering Circles Dies that cuts out a scalloped circle that is 2-5/8" diameter. Put it on top of the Bermuda Bay square on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool. Run through the tool.
Adhere the white sentiment circle cut out to the center of the scalloped Bermuda Bay circle cut out.
If the dry embossed Coastal Cabana rectangle is dry, proceed with the next step.
Tip: You can speed up drying with a Heat Tool if needed.
Adhere the strip of small lily pads with pink flowers on blue and green background watercolor design Lily Impressions Designer Paper to the left side of the dry embossed Coastal Cabana rectangle.
Cut three pieces each 6" long of the Bermuda Bay Twine from the Metallic Baker's Twine & Sequins Combo Pack.
Lay the twine pieces across the Coastal Cabana/designer paper rectangle so it covers the seam between the two layers. Secure the twine pieces 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 Coastal Cabana rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the front of the Bermuda Bay card.
Adhere the matted sentiment circles to the front of the card on the right side about 1-1/4" from the bottom so the right side of the circles almost touches the right side of the Coastal Cabana layer.
Adhere the lily pad cut out to the card front so the left side just overlaps the twine pieces a bit and the top of the lily pad cut out overlaps the bottom of the matted sentiment circles.
Adhere the large lily flower cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the twine on the left side and the top of the lily pad and is just to the left of the stamped sentiment.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the lily flower bracket cut out to the bottom of the medium lily flower cut out so the flower is in front of the bracket.
Add additional Stampin' Dimensionals as needed to the back of the medium lily flower cut out and adhere it to the front of the card so it overlaps the right side of the large lily flower and is just below the sentiment.
Cut a 16" piece of the Bermuda Bay Twine from the Metallic Baker's Twine & Sequins Combo Pack.
Fold the twine in half. Tie the folded twine around the twine on the card front near the top using a small bow. Trim the ends of the twine bow.
Use the putty tip of the Take Your Pick to pick out 3 different sizes of Bermuda Bay sequins from the Metallic Baker's Twine & Sequins Combo Pack. Press the bottoms of the sequins to a Mini Glue Dot on the roll of glue dots. As needed, squish the sides of the glue dot in so they are not sticking out over the edges of the sequin. Adhere one smaller sequin to the matted sentiment circles just to the right of the medium lily flower. Adhere the other two sequins randomly to the front of the card on the Coastal Cabana layer above the matted sentiment circles.
