Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Flirty Flamingo Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Pumpkin Pie Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 3-3/4" of multi-colored thin stripes on white background design from Cute Halloween 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, cut so the stripes are horizontal on the vertical strip
- 7/8" x 3-5/8" of multi-colored dots on white background design from Cute Halloween 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
- small scraps of small black dots on white background design, multi-colored dots on white background design, and multi-colored thin stripes on white background design from Cute Halloween 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper
Mount the dancing puffin image from the Party Puffins Set on Block D. Ink it up using the Tuxedo Black Memento Pad. Stamp it in the lower right corner of the horizontal white rectangle.
Mount the "You're The Best" sentiment from the Party Puffins Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Flirty Flamingo Ink Pad and stamp it in the upper right corner of the stamped white rectangle.
Put the stamped white rectangle on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. You need to make sure that you protect your work surface with paper as the Stampin' Blends Markers do bleed through.
Use the Dark Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends to color in the interior stripe on the puffin's beak and to outline the puffin's eye.
Use the Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends to color in the remaining stripe on the puffin's beak, feet, and legs.
Adhere the striped designer paper strip to the left side of the stamped and colored white rectangle leaving a small amount of white showing on the left, top, and bottom edges.
Adhere the dotted designer paper strip to the stamped and colored white rectangle so it evenly overlaps the right edge of the striped designer paper strip.
Adhere the white rectangle to the center of the Pumpkin Pie rectangle and then to the front of the Flirty Flamingo card.
Mount the little oval of rubber from the center of the dancing puffin's belly to Block A. Ink it up with the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it on the reverse sides of the small pieces of designer paper. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Try to make sure the stripes will be horizontal on the vertical egg shape.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut out the egg shapes by hand.
Put the black dots on white background egg cut out on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. You need to make sure that you protect your work surface with paper as the Stampin' Blends Markers do bleed through.
Use the Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends to color the black dots on white background egg.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the egg cut outs to the front of the card so they overlap in a tight group between the dotted designer paper strip and the left edge of the puffin.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up three different sizes of Pumpkin Pie stars from the sheet of Cute Stars Adhesive-Backed Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them randomly to the front of the card around the sentiment.
