- 4" x 5-1/4" from Orchid Oasis Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8"" from Basic White Cardstock
- 3" square from Starry Sky Cardstock
- 2-5/8" square of darker Starry Sky or Orchid Oasis glimmer paper from 2022-2024 In Color 6" x 6" Glimmer Paper
- 3" square from Basic Black Cardstock

Peel the protective backing off of the long, skinny Adhesive Sheets strip. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets rectangle to one side of the long, skinny Orchid Oasis strip. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Pick out the lattice strip die from the Palms Dies. Put it on top of the Orchid Oasis strip on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the Orchid Oasis (purple) side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick and/or Take Your Pick Die Brush Tip to remove the pieces.
Pick out the scalloped circle die that cuts out a 2-13/16" scalloped circle from the Layering Circles Dies. Put it on top of the Starry Sky square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
WITHOUT ADHERING, lay the lattice cut out and the scalloped circle cut out on the horizontal white rectangle to figure out placement.
Mount the "birthday" or "retirement" sentiment from the Paradise Palms Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Starry Sky Ink Pad. Stamp it on the horizontal white rectangle just below the lattice cut out and just to the right of the scalloped circle cut out.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the lattice cut out. Adhere it in place to the stamped white rectangle. Use Paper Snips Scissors to trim off excess on the left and right sides as needed.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle with lattice cut out attached to the center of the Orchid Oasis rectangle and then to the front of the Starry Sky card.
Pick out the smooth circle die that cuts out a 2-3/8" circle from the Layering Circles Dies. Put it on top of the glimmer paper square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Peel the protective backing off of the Adhesive Sheets square. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets square to one side of the Basic Black square. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Pick out the set of three small palm trees die and the grass die from the Palms Dies. Put them on top of the Basic Black square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the black side is face up and you'll cut out as much of the grass as possible. Make sure the dies do NOT overlap. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the set of three small palm trees cut out. Adhere it to the center of the glimmer paper circle cut out so the lighter glimmer paper is at the bottom.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the grass cut out. Adhere it to the bottom of the glimmer paper circle cut out so it covers the base of the palm tree trunks. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off any excess grass along the edge of the circle.
Adhere the glimmer paper circle cut out with palm trees and grass attached to the center of the scalloped circle cut out.
Adhere the matted circle cut outs to the front of the card as shown.
Cut an 18" piece of the Orchid Oasis or Starry Sky twine from the 2022-2024 In Color Baker's Twine 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 in the center of the base of the glimmer paper circle cut out.
