Friends For Life Best Wishes Bubbles |
S oft card for lots of occasions using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Fresh Freesia Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Bubble Bath Cardstock
- 3-1/4" square from Basic White Cardstock
Insert the Bubble Bath rectangle into the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder vertically. Use the line printed on the front flap of the folder to make sure it is lined up straight. Place the folder with the cardstock inside on the platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.
Cut a 4-1/2" piece of the Fresh Freesia 3/8" Seam Binding Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon horizontally across the center of dry embossed Bubble Bath rectangle so it is centered over the center circles. Fold the ends of the ribbon over and secure the ribbon in place on the back with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add Stampin' Seal to the back of the Bubble Bath rectangle. Adhere to the front of the Fresh Freesia card.
As you are ready to stamp using the Friends For Life 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 block letter "best" word from the Friends For Life Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Fresh Freesia Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the white square.
Mount the script "wishes" word from the Friends For Life Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Berry Burst Ink Pad. Stamp it on the white square just below and to the right of the previously stamped "best" word so the "h" in "wishes" slightly overlaps the bottom left side of the "s" in "best."
Pick out the die from the Spotlight On Nature Dies that cuts out a circle that is 2-3/4" in diameter and has little rectangles and dots all around the outer edge. Put it on top of the sentiment square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the sentiment. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Mount the two small hearts image from the Friends For Life Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Bubble Bath Ink Pad. Stamp it twice onto the sentiment circle cut out so it overlaps the words a bit. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the stamped sentiment circle cut out to the front of the card as shown so it is centered over the ribbon and the circles dry embossed in the center of the Bubble Bath rectangle.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large and 2 small Bubble Bath sequins from a sheet of Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the sentiment circle cut out on the card front as shown.
