ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

FIRST

Cut ALL 5 card bases out with Arch Die #10

Stack the 2 -pretty peacock CS & 1- ombre DSP (the piece with sand at the bottom) place stylish shapes largest circle Die #6. I put mine approximately 5/8” from the top of the arch and approximately 7/8” on each side cut circle out of ALL 3 at the same time. (this will ensure the circle is exactly in the same location)

Glue 1-basic white CS to 1-ombre DSP (the pc colored from darker blue to white)

Back-to-back with the finished sides facing out. The basic white side will be the back of the card, and the other side will be the backdrop for your beach scene. Glue 1-pretty peacock CS & 1- ombre (with sand) together. This will be the first layer of your beach scene. Keep all the rest of the nesting stitching finished side towards the front on all pieces of CS. You should have 3-Arched card bases ready to decorate and start your beach scene

NEXT

In Tuxedo Memento Black Stamp 2-chairs, 2-seaguls,1-beachball,1-umbrella. Stamp the sentiment of your choice on the Arched piece of basic white. *I used Happy Birthday and 3 small birds. Now is the time to use the Wink of Stella, (if desired) brush 2-shells,1-umbrella, 2-seaguls,

1-cloud, 1-flag. Set aside to dry.

The remainder of the die’s cuts are all stand alone, and no stamping is required. Die cut ALL the Beach Day pieces out (see sample picture) If you do not have this DSP use the paper of your choice, or colored Cardstock

THEN

Arrange beach scene as shown in picture. The palm on the front will need its two right side frons pruned down to fit inside the card perimeter. Glue down, *liquid glue is recommended. Overhang the Palm tree, surfboard & umbrella into the circle. Do not put glue on the portions overhang.

NOW

Time to glue the second layer onto the 1-pretty peacock CS. This is where you start to add the 3-D effect of the card. Place 2 waves, second palm tree and 1-seagul. I used mini post it tabs to test for accuracy of placement. Place the front layer over and give it a good look and adjust your waves accordingly. I placed my first wave just at the height of the top of my umbrella. I used mini glue dots to attach the palm fronds together and liquid glued the trunks down. Take back panel and place the 1-ombre white DSP cloud, 1-seagul. Stack all 3 layers together, give it a good look and adjust as desired. When happy glue back panel pieces into place.

TIME TO CONNECT ALL LAYERS

Take ALL layers place on top each other. THE LOOK SHOULD BE AMAZING AND COMPLETE!!!! Use a fair amount of the liquid to maneuver and keep the layers secure. Now start with the middle layer and glue it down around the arch and bottom of the panel to the back panel. I found that standing them up together is the best way to align perfectly. Now place the front panel with the beach scene arch and glue it onto the middle section. You have completed making this perfect summer-inspired card for any beach lover!
