Cut card stock and designer series paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Soft Sky Card Stock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Soft Sky Card Stock
- 2-1/4" x 4" of tiny white scallop shells on blue background design from By the Shore Designer Series Paper
- 1" x 3-1/2" from Soft Sky Card Stock
Place the large Soft Sky rectangle on top of the Stampin' Pierce Mat. This will help insure that you get a really good stamped image when stamping with the photopolymer stamps.
Mount the sea star (star fish) image marked 1 on Block E so the little arrow point on the stamp is pointing straight down. Ink up the stamp with the Dapper Denim Ink Pad. Stamp on scratch paper. Then, stamp it (without re-inking) in the center top of the large Soft Sky rectangle. Make sure the arrow point on the stamp is pointing straight down.
Mount the sea star (star fish) image marked 2 on Block E so the little arrow point on the stamp is pointing straight down. Ink up the stamp with the Dapper Denim Ink Pad. Stamp it over the previously stamped image. Make sure the arrow point on the stamp is pointing straight down.
Place the piece of By the Shore Designer Series Paper on your Stampin' Trimmer so that shells are facing up and the upper right corner is right on the cutting groove on the trimmer and the upper left corner is just touching the 3/4" line on the left side of the blade guide. Cut. You should have a slightly angled piece of paper.
Adhere the designer paper piece to the bottom of the stamped Soft Sky rectangle.
Mount the "Just a Note" sentiment on Block G. Ink it up with the Night of Navy Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the strip of Soft Sky Card Stock.
Unlock the Classic Label Punch and hold it upside down so you can see the punching area. Slide the sentiment strip into the punch and line the sentiment up so it is to the left side of the punching area. Punch.
Adhere the punched sentiment piece to the right side of the card front about 1/2" from the bottom. Trim off excess sticking off the right side using Paper Snips.
Cut a 5" piece of the Whisper White ribbon from the Succulent Garden 5/8" Ribbon Combo Pack.
Lay the ribbon piece across the card front so it hides the seam between the designer paper and the card stock. Flip the card front over and fold the ends of the ribbon over. Adhere them in place with pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive across the ends.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape pieces and add more SNAIL to the back of the card front. Adhere the card front to the front of the Soft Sky card.
Cut another piece of the white ribbon 4" long. Slide it under the ribbon on the card front on the left side and tie it in place using a half knot. Trim the ends.
Adhere two of the Dapper Denim stars from the 2016-2018 In Color Enamel Shapes to either side of the stamped sea star (star fish).
