S ummer themed thank you card using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Peach Pie Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 3-1/4" x 4-1/2" from Basic Beige Cardstock
- 3-1/8" x 4-3/8" from Boho Blue Cardstock
- 3" square from Basic Beige Cardstock
- 2-1/2" square from Basic Beige Cardstock
- 2-1/2" square from Peach Pie Cardstock
As you are ready to stamp using the Seaside Wishes Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Put a piece of Grid Paper on top of the Mat to protect it from ink.
Mount the little starfish image and the sand speckles image from the Seaside Wishes Set on Block B together so they are as close together as possible. Ink them up with the Peach Pie Ink Pad. Stamp them randomly all around the front of the Peach Pie card. Remember to re-ink the stamps each time. Change the orientation of the stamps a bit each time. Let some of the images go off the edges of the card front.
Insert the Boho Blue rectangle into the So Swirly Embossing Folder. 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.
Tip: Be careful, this embossing folder is very large and barely fits through the machine. Make sure none of the folder is hanging over the edge of the platform or it will get caught and will mess up the folder and/or your machine.
Adhere the dry embossed Boho Blue rectangle to the center of the 3-1/4" x 4-1/2" Basic Beige rectangle.
Cut a 4" piece of the Basic Beige 3/8" Bordered Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the matted, vertical, dry embossed Boho Blue rectangle so it is about 3/4" from the bottom. 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 Basic Beige rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the front of the stamped Peach Pie card so it is centered.
Mount the large sand dollar image from the Seaside Wishes Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Basic Beige Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the large Basic Beige square.
Mount the "sometimes the simplest things mean the most" or "love you" sentiment from the Seaside Wishes Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Boho Blue Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small Basic Beige square.
Pick out the matching set of 3 sand dollars die from the Seaside Wishes Hybrid products. Put it inside the Embossing Folder from the Seaside Wishes Hybrid products so it fits into the grooves around the corresponding sand dollars cut into the inside of the top flap (the one with the line and logo printed on it) of the Embossing Folder. Place the stamped large sand dollar into the layered dies/embossing folder so it is centered in the large cutting/embossing area. Close the folder and put it on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. This will cut out and emboss the sand dollar image at the same time. Leave the die and embossing folder out.
Place the sentiment stamped square into the layered dies/embossing folder so it is centered in the small sand dollar cutting/embossing area. Close the folder and put it on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. This will cut out and emboss the sand dollar image at the same time.
Adhere the large sand dollar cut out to the front of the card so the bottom of the sand dollar just tucks under the top of the ribbon and the right edge of the sand dollar just overhangs the right edge of the matted Boho Blue rectangle as shown.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the small sand dollar with sentiment stamped on it to the front of the card so it overlaps the ribbon on the left side and the left side of the sand dollar just overlaps the left edge of the matted Boho Blue rectangle as shown.
Mount the large starfish (sea star) image from the Seaside Wishes Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Peach Pie Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Peach Pie square.
Pick out the matching large starfish (sea star) die from the Seaside Wishes Hybrid products. Put it on top of the stamped starfish (sea star) on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine.
Use a Mini Stampin' Dimensional in the center of the back of the starfish (sea star) cut out to adhere it to the front of the card as shown so it overlaps the sand dollars on the upper left side of the matted Boho Blue rectangle.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up 1 large Peach Pie dot from a sheet of Adhesive-Backed Dappled Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the starfish (sea star) on the card front.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Basic Beige 3/8" Bordered Ribbon.
Slide one end of the ribbon under the ribbon already on the card front on the right side. Tie in place with a half knot. Trim the ends.
