Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Whisper White Thick Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" from Crumb Cake Cardstock
- 3-1/2" x 2" from Crumb Cake Cardstock
- 3-1/2" x 2" from Whisper White Cardstock
Pick out the largest stitched rectangle framelit from the Rectangle Stitched Framelits. Place the large Crumb Cake rectangle on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the stitched rectangle framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Mount sentiment of your choice from the By The Bay Set on an appropriately sized block. Ink it up with the Crumb Cake Ink Pad. Stamp it in the lower right corner of the stitched rectangle cut out.
Adhere the stamped rectangle cut out to the front of the Whisper White Thick card.
Cut a 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White 5/8" Flax Ribbon so it has a sharp angle on each end.
Lay the ribbon horizontally across the center of the card front about 1-1/2" from the top edge. Use a small piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive to hold the ribbon in place. Leave the protective backing on the Tear & Tape strip.
Pick out the stitched rectangle framelit from the Rectangle Stitched Framelits that cuts out a 1-1/2" x 2-3/4" rectangle. Place the small Crumb Cake rectangle on the Cutting Pad on top of the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the stitched rectangle framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Insert the small Crumb Cake rectangle into the Subtle Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder so the lines are horizontal across the long edge of the rectangle. Place the folder with the paper inside directly on your Big Shot Platform at the lowest possible setting. Place a Cutting Pad on top of the folder and run through the Big Shot.
VERY IMPORTANT: You are using only ONE Cutting Pad. If you try to use two, the sandwich will be too thick and you could damage the Big Shot.
Mount the seagulls in the surf image from the By The Bay Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Crumb Cake Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white rectangle.
Pick out the stitched rectangle framelit from the Rectangle Stitched Framelits that cuts out a 1" x 2-3/8" rectangle. Place the seagulls stamped image on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the stitched rectangle framelit on top so it is centered over the image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the seagulls rectangle cut out to the dry embossed Crumb Cake rectangle.
Adhere the matted seagulls rectangle to the front of the card using Stampin' Dimensionals so it is centered over the ribbon.
