|
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Pool Party Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Pool Party Cardstock
- 2 pieces each 3-1/2" square from Whisper White Cardstock
Insert the Pool Party rectangle into the Oh My Stars Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Place the folder with the card stock inside on a Cutting Pad on the Big Shot Platform at the lowest possible setting. Place a Cutting Pad on top of the folder and run through the Big Shot.
Shake the bottle of Frost White Shimmer Paint while the lid is on tight. Remove the lid and place it on some Grid Paper on your work surface open end up. Poke a Sponge Dauber down into the lid to pick up some of the shimmer paint. Lightly push the inky Sponge Dauber straight up and down on top of the dry embossed stars. Get more shimmer paint on the dauber as needed. Put the lid back on the bottle and shake again if necessary.
Cut a 4-1/2" piece of Pool Party 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the bottom of the dry embossed and shimmered rectangle so the ribbon is about 1" from the bottom edge. Flip the layers over and fold the ends of the ribbon over. Adhere the ends of the ribbon in place with pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strips and add more SNAIL to the back of the cardstock. Adhere it to the front of the Pool Party card.
As you are ready to stamp using the Star of Light 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 starburst image from the Star of Light Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Pool Party Ink Pad. Stamp it on one of the pieces of white cardstock in the center.
Mount the small tick marks circle image from the Star of Light Set on Block A, Ink it up with the Pacific Point Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Pool Party starburst.
Unlock the 2" Circle Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the star image into the punch and get it positioned in the punching area. Punch.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the star circle punch out to the front of the card in the upper right corner.
Mount the "the light of heaven..." sentiment from the Star of Light Set on Block B, Ink it up with the Pacific Point Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the other piece of white cardstock.
Unlock the 1-1/2" Circle Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped sentiment into the punch and get it positioned in the left side of the punching area. Punch.
Mount the set of three dotted lines image from the Star of Light Set on Block B, Ink it up with the Pool Party Ink Pad. Stamp it on the punched out sentiment circle so the lines ray out to the upper right from the center of the word "light."
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment circle punch out to the front of the card so it is centered over the ribbon on the lower left side.
Cut a 3" piece of the Pool Party 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot at an angle to the front of the card in the center of the ribbon already on the card on the right side of the sentiment circle punch out.
Carefully peel up a medium gem from a sheet of Clear Faceted Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the starburst image.
