Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Bermuda Bay Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Coastal Cabana Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" from Basic White Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 2-1/2" from Basic White Cardstock
As you are ready to stamp using the Textures & Frames 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 solid, rectangle brushstroke image from the Textures & Frames Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Bermuda Bay Ink Pad. Stamp it in the upper left corner of the large, horizontal white rectangle about 1/8" from the left edge and about 3/8" from the top edge. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy, but leave it on the block.
Re-ink the solid, rectangle brushstroke image on Block B with the Coastal Cabana Ink Pad. Stamp it on the large, horizontal white rectangle so it slightly overlaps the bottom of the previously stamped Bermuda Bay image and starts about half way across. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy, but leave it on the block.
Re-ink the solid, rectangle brushstroke image on Block B with the Mint Macaron Ink Pad. Stamp it on the large, horizontal white rectangle so it slightly overlaps the bottom of the previously stamped Coastal Cabana image and starts about half way across. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy, but leave it on the block.
Re-ink the solid, rectangle brushstroke image on Block B with the Soft Sea Foam Ink Pad. Stamp it on the large, horizontal white rectangle so it slightly overlaps the bottom of the previously stamped Mint Macaron image and starts about half way across. Clean the stamp using the Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist Stamp Cleaner and/or Simply Shammy and put it away.
Cut a piece of Mint Macaron 1/2" Soft Velvet Ribbon so it is 5" long and has a sharp angle on one end as shown.
Put a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive that is about 4" long horizontally across the bottom of the horizontal, stamped, large white rectangle so it overlaps the bottom edge of the Soft Sea Foam rectangle brushstroke image.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strip and adhere the piece of ribbon to it so the angled end of the ribbon is on the left and the flat edge of the ribbon lines up with the right edge of the white cardstock.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle with ribbon attached to the Coastal Cabana rectangle and then to the front of the Bermuda Bay card.
Mount the "happy birthday" sentiment from the In Your Words Stamp Set on Block G. Ink it up with the Bermuda Bay Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the small, horizontal white rectangle.
Mount the rectangular frame image from the Textures & Frames Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Coastal Cabana Ink Pad. Stamp it over the top of the previously stamped sentiment so the sentiment is centered in the frame.
Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut out the framed sentiment by hand.
Put a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive horizontally across the back of the horizontal framed sentiment cut out.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strip and adhere the framed sentiment cut out to the lower right side of the card front so it is centered over the ribbon as shown.
