Do NOT adhere the dry embossed Pineapple Punch rectangle to the front of the card yet!
As you are ready to stamp using the Bubble Over 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 larger bottle image from the Bubble Over Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Pineapple Punch Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 1-1/2" x 4" white rectangle.
Pick out the matching, large, open bottle die from the Bottles & Bubbles Dies. Place the stamped bottle image on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the open bottle die on top so it is centered over the stamped bottle image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Mount the grouping of bubbles image from the Bubble Over Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Grapefruit Grove Ink Pad. Stamp it on the soda bottle cut out several times. Be careful not to let the bubbles stamp on the white edging around the bottle. Re-ink the stamp every so often.
Pick out the larger curved end label die from the Bottles & Bubbles Dies. Place the 1-1/2" x 2" piece of Grapefruit Grove check Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper on a Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the larger curved end label die on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Wrap the label cut out around the center of the bottle cut out and fold the ends over to the back side of the bottle.
Mount the star in a circle image on Block A. Ink it up with the Grapefruit Grove Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the square of Pineapple Punch Cardstock.
Pick out the small jagged edge circle die from the Bottles & Bubbles Dies. Place the stamped star circle image on a Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the small jagged edge circle die on top so it is centered over the image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the jagged edge star circle cut out to the center of the label on the bottle cut out.
Adhere the bottle cut out to the dry embossed Pineapple Punch rectangle so the top of the bottle is about 1/2" from the top and the right side of the bottle is about 5/8" from the right side.
Carefully peel up the protective backing on one side of the scrap of Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet and adhere the adhesive sheet to the white side of the Champagne Foil Sheet scrap. Leave the other protective backing piece in place.
Place the piece of Champagne Foil Sheet on the Precision Base Plate on top of the Platform on the Big Shot so that the adhesive side (with protective backing in place) is on the bottom (Champagne Foil facing up).
Pick out one of the little bottle cap dies from the Bottles & Bubbles Dies. . Place it on top of the Champagne Foil Sheet on the Big Shot. Place a piece of scratch paper on top. Place a Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot a couple of times. Use the Die Brush and paper-piercing tool on the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces.
Tip: Placing a piece of scratch paper on top of the foil and die will help protect the foil so it doesn't pick up any scratches from the Cutting Pad.
Remove the protective backing from the adhesive on the back of the bottle cap cut out and adhere the bottle cap cut out to the top of the bottle.
Mount the circular lemon slice image from the Lemon Zest Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Pineapple Punch Ink Pad. BEFORE stamping the image, do a little thumping! Take the cap off the brush tip of the Grapefruit Grove Marker. Randomly thump the brush tip of the marker around on the inked up image quite a few times. Also use the marker to go over the rind circle on the outside edge of the image. Breathe on the image to moisten the ink and stamp it on one end of the 2-1/4" x 4" strip of Whisper White Cardstock. Clean the stamp using the Simply Shammy or Stampin' Mist and Stampin' Scrub, but leave it on the block.
Repeat the step above inking up and thumping the lemon slice image and stamping it on the other end of the 2-1/4" x 4" white cardstock strip. Clean the stamp and put it away.
Unlock the 1-3/4" Circle Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide one of the stamped lemon slice images into the punch. Carefully line up the image so it is centered in the punching area. Punch. Repeat with the other lemon slice image.
Adhere one of the circular lemon slice punch outs to the dry embossed Pineapple Punch rectangle so it overlaps the bottom right side of the bottle cut out a bit.
Mount the "May Your Day BUBBLE OVER with happiness." sentiment from the Bubble Over Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Grapefruit Grove Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 3/4" x 5-1/4" white strip.
Adhere the stamped sentiment white strip to the dry embossed Pineapple Punch rectangle at an angle across the lower right corner. The strip should cover the bottom of the bottle cut out and lemon slice punch out a bit. Make sure the words are centered. Use Paper Snips to trim off excess cardstock on the right side and bottom edge.
Adhere the 3/4" strip of Gingham Gala Designer Paper to the dry embossed Pineapple Punch rectangle at an angle across the lower right corner. The strip should be about 1/8" below the sentiment strip. Use Paper Snips to trim off excess designer paper on the right side and bottom edge.
Adhere the dry embossed Pineapple Punch layer to the front of the Grapefruit Grove card.
Use Paper Snips to cut the remaining circular lemon slice punch out in half. Adhere one half at an angle to the lower left corner of the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals. It should overlap the top left edge of the white sentiment strip and the full circular lemon slice image a bit. Throw away the other half of the lemon slice image or save it to use on a future project.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up one large iridescent star sequin from a sheet of Twinkle Adhesive-Backed Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the star on the label on the bottle.
