Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Pool Party Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 1-3/4" x 5-1/2" of stitching lines on dark blue background design from Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper, cut so lines are vertical
- 3-3/8" square from Petal Pink Cardstock
- 3-1/4" square from Pool Party Cardstock
- 2 pieces each 2" x 2-1/2" from Whisper White Cardstock
Adhere the strip of Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper to the front of the Pool Party card on the left side.
Pick out the large square of puzzle pieces thinlit from the Puzzle Pieces Thinlits. Build the following sandwich in this order on top of the Big Shot:
- Big Shot Platform with Thin Die Adapter removed
- white Impressions Pad from Big Shot Embossing Mats
- thicker gray silicone rubber mat from Big Shot Embossing Mats
- Pool Party square
- square of puzzle pieces thinlit with cutting side down so it is centered on the Pool Party square
- clear Standard Cutting Pad
Run the sandwich through the Big Shot.
Tip: This will dry emboss the puzzle square pattern onto the Pool Party Cardstock instead of cutting the pieces out.
Adhere the dry embossed Pool Party square to the Petal Pink square.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of Petal Pink/Whisper White 5/8" Variegated Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the matted puzzle square in the upper left corner. Flip the layers over and fold the ends of the ribbon over. Adhere the ends of the ribbon in place with pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strips and add SNAIL to the back of the Petal Pink square. Adhere it to the front of the card so it is centered side to side and about 5/8" from the top.
Mount the ""Love You" sentiment puzzle piece from the Love You To Pieces Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Petal Pink Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of one of the rectangles of Whisper White Cardstock.
Mount the ""To Pieces" sentiment puzzle piece from the Love You To Pieces Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Night of Navy Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the remaining rectangle of Whisper White Cardstock.
Pick out the large single puzzle piece framelit from the Puzzle Pieces Thinlits. Place one of the stamped sentiment puzzle pieces on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the single puzzle piece framelit on top so it is centered over the stamped image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Repeat with the other stamped sentiment puzzle piece.
Adhere the Night of Navy "To Pieces" puzzle piece at a slight angle to the lower right corner of the matted puzzle square so the bottom of the puzzle piece hangs down from the bottom of the matted square a bit.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the Petal Pink "Love You" puzzle piece to the front of card at a slight angle so it overlaps the upper left side of the "To Pieces" puzzle piece a bit.
Use the brush tip of the Night of Navy Dark Stampin' Blends to color a large heart on a sheet of Heart Epoxy Droplets while it is on the sheet.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up the colored droplet making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it at a slight angle to the front of the card so it is over and between the two puzzle pieces.
Tie a bow in the Petal Pink/Whisper White 5/8" Variegated Ribbon while it is on the roll.
Cut the bow from the roll of ribbon. Trim the ends at angles.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon bow to the center of the ribbon already on the card front at a slight angle.
