Start with one piece Blue Bayou 3-1/2” x 4” and two pieces Soft Sky Prints DSP 3-1/4” x 3-3/4” each. Score the Bayou Blue piece at 1-5/8” from each end and each piece of Soft Sky DSP at 1-3/8” from each end. Stamp the sunglasses and Life’s a Breeze on front of piece of Soft Sky DSP using Not Quite Navy and emboss with the Clear Embossing Powder and Heat Tool. Attach with adhesive the inside (the un-stamped DSP) to the outside piece, matching up the scored lines. To make the cut out to hold the Chap Stick, at 1-1/2” from each end make a 1-1/2” cuts from one of the score lines. Use the slit punch, punch at 1/2” from the end (use template) on each end. Attach stamped piece to the outside and punch a hole in the center to tie with 9” – 10” of ribbon.

Book Mark

Blue Bayou–scraps; Soft Sky Designer Series Paper – scraps; Whisper White – scraps, 3” strip scored at 1-1/2”

From the scraps, punch two Blue Bayou Scallop Circles and two Soft Sky DSP 1-3/8” Circles. Stamp the Sandals on the Whisper White scraps with Not Quite Navy and emboss with the Clear Embossing Powder and Heat Tool. Punch out the sandals with the 1-1/4” Circle punch. Use the folded piece of Whisper White cards stock and use the 1-3/8” Circle and punch thru leaving it connected at the top. Layer all the punched and stamp pieces together. Attach a 2” piece of ribbon behind the connected circle pieces. Attach the magnets to back of each piece so they will connect. Use the uni-ball Signo Gel Pen to make a dot in each scallop.

Stamp the Inner Tube on a piece of white CS with the Not Quite Navy Craft ink. Emboss with the Clear Embossing Powder and Heat Tool. Attach a Life Saver to the back.

Wrap the 2” x 5/8” strip Soft Sky DSP around a bamboo skewer. Unscrew the top off of the pen, insert the rolled paper inside the barrel and place the cap back on the pen. Spiral wrap the Sticky Strip around the pen like a candy cane. Dip the pen into the beads with tweezers. Shake it to get beads to adhere to the Sticky Strip and lift out. Press lightly on the beads to make sure they tightly adhere.

Top – Roll the Something Fishy Jumbo Wheel across the White StazOn ink pad and wheel across the top of the plastic window on the tin. If you get some StazOn where you do not want it you can use a small dab of StazOn cleaner on a Q-tip to wipe it off.
