Project Recipe
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock at 4-1/4" x 8" and scored at 1-1/4", 2-1/2", 5-1/2" and 6-3/4"
- 2-3/4" x 4" of green and blue succulents on white background design from Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper
- 2 pieces each 1" x 4" of green and blue succulents on white background design from Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper
- 2 pieces each 1" x 4" of light blue zig zags on white background design from Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper, cut so the zig zags are horizontal
- 1" x 5-1/2" from Pool Party Cardstock
- 3/4" x 5-1/4" of light blue zig zags on white background design from Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper, cut so the zig zags are horizontal
- 2-3/4" square from Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock
Adhere the 2-3/4" x 4" piece of succulents Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper to the center panel of the Lemon Lime Twist card base.
Adhere the two strips of Painted Seasons Designer Paper with the succulents to the two inside side panels of the card base.
Adhere the two strips of Painted Seasons Designer Paper with the zig zags to the two outside side panels of the card base.
Accordion fold on all the score lines. The two score lines closest to the center panel should be folded as valley folds. The two outer crease lines should be folded as mountain folds. Use a Bone Folder if desired for sharp creases.
Adhere the long, blue zig zags strip of Painted Seasons Designer Paper to the center of the Pool Party strip of cardstock to create the bridge piece.
Put two small (no longer than 3/4") pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive on each end of the back of the bridge piece. Leave the protective backings in place for now.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape Adhesive on one end of the bridge piece. Adhere the bridge piece so the left end of the bridge piece is even with the left edge of the outer left panel and the bottom of the bridge piece is about 1-1/8" up.
Fold the left panels in over the center of the card base and extend the right panels. Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the bridge piece. Adhere so the right end of the bridge piece is even with the right edge of the outer right panel.
Mount the sitting frog image from the So Hoppy Together Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Call Me Clover Ink Pad. Stamp it just above center on the Lemon Lime Twist square.
Mount the sentiment of choice from the So Hoppy Together Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Call Me Clover Ink Pad. Stamp it below the stamped frog so it is centered side to side and as close as possible to the bottom of the frog.
Pick out the stitched square framelit from the Stitched Shapes Framelits that cuts out a 2-1/8" square. Place the stamped frog and sentiment on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the stitched square framelit on top so it is centered over the frog and sentiment. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Use the Chalk Marker to color in the frog's eyes.
Use the Lemon Lime Twist Marker to color in the frog's spots and belly and to remark the eyeballs if needed.
Put two small (no longer than 1-1/2") pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive in the center of the bridge piece.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape Adhesive strips and adhere the frog square to the center of the bridge piece.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a clear flower from a sheet of Frosted Flower Embellishments making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the card front over the frog's upraised hand.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up two flower-shaped Lemon Lime Twist sequins from a sheet of Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to either end of the bridge piece so they are centered.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up three tiny Clear Rhinestone Basic Jewels from a sheet of the jewels making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them to the centers of the flower sequins and the Frosted Flower Embellishment.
The card stands for display. To mail the card in an envelope, fold the left side in accordion style and extend the right side.
