Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and Adhesive Sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 3-3/4" x 5" from Basic White Cardstock
- 2" square from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-1/4" x 1-1/2" from Bubble Bath Cardstock
- 1-1/8" x 1-3/8" from Adhesive Sheets Cardstock
As you are ready to stamp using the Season Of Chic Set 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 smaller, sparser splatter image from the Season Of Chic Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Soft Sea Foam Ink Pad. Stamp it randomly all around the edges of the front of the Soft Sea Foam card. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Change the orientation of the stamp every so often. Let some of the images go off the edges. Let some of the images overlap each other.
Pick out the die from the Deckled Rectangles Dies that cuts out a 3-3/8" x 4-3/4" rectangle. Put it on top of the large white rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Mount the brushstroke image from the Season Of Chic Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Soft Sea Foam Ink Pad. Stamp it on the upper right side of the horizontal rectangle cut out so it is about 1/4" from the right edge and about 3/16" from the top edge. Re-ink the stamp with the Soft Sea Foam Ink Pad and stamp it again on the rectangle cut out so the right edges are even and there is about 3/4" of white space between the two images. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy, but leave the stamp on the block.
Re-ink the brushstroke image on Block H with the Bubble Bath Ink Pad. Stamp it on the rectangle cut out so the right edges are even and it covers the space between the two previously stamped Soft Sea Foam images.
Mount the "thanks," "you are amazing beyond measure," or "thinking of you" sentiment from the Season Of Chic Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Fresh Freesia Ink Pad. Stamp it on the rectangle cut out so it is centered over the Bubble Bath brushstroke.
Cut a 5-1/4" piece of the Bubble Bath ribbon from the 3/8" Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack.
Lay the ribbon across the bottom of the stamped, horizontal rectangle so it is about 1/4" from the bottom and just below the bottom brushstroke image. 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 rectangle cut out. Adhere the rectangle cut out to the center of the stamped Soft Sea Foam card front.
Mount the more solid scallop shell image from the Season Of Chic Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Bubble Bath Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the remaining white rectangle.
Mount the more detailed scallop shell image from the Season Of Chic Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Fresh Freesia Ink Pad. Stamp it over the top of the previously stamped, more solid scallop shell image on the white rectangle.
Pick out the matching, open, large scallop shell die from the Chic Dies. Put it on top of the stamped image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine.
Peel the protective backing off of the Adhesive Sheets rectangle. Adhere the Adhesive Sheets rectangle to one side of the Bubble Bath rectangle. Be sure to leave the other protective backing in place for now.
Pick out the small, detailed scallop shell die from the Chic Dies. Put it on top of the Bubble Bath rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the Bubble Bath (pink) side is face up. Run through the machine. Use the paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Carefully remove the protective backing from the Bubble Bath detailed scallop shell cut out. Adhere it to the front of the card so it overlaps the lower left side of the stamped brushstrokes and is tucked under the top of the ribbon a bit as shown.
Adhere the solid scallop shell cut out to the front of the card so it overlaps the left side of the detailed, smaller scallop shell cut out and is just tucked under the top of the ribbon as shown.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Bubble Bath ribbon from the 3/8" Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack.
Slide one end of the ribbon under the ribbon already on the card front. Tie in place with a half knot so it is centered under the area where the two shell cut outs overlap as shown. Trim the ends.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a small Bubble Bath oval from the sheet of Opaque Ovals making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the upper left corner of the rectangle cut out as shown.
