Now lets get to work:

With your paper trimmer cut your Pool party card stock at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, then score at 4 1/4. Fold this in half to make your card base. With the other half of the card stock cut it to 5 x 3 3/4. Emboss the piece of card stock with the cut& emboss machine and the timeworn type embossing folder. Set those pieces aside. Find the designer series paper that has the more solid side to it. Cut one at 5 x 1 1/2 and another piece that will fit two smaller flowers and two of the middle sized flowers and two leaves. Make sure part of it has some green on it. Now we are going to stamp using the versa mark ink and stamp the pieces mentioned above. Pour the embossing powder over the areas you just stamped, you should be able to see the powder stick to the ink. Take your heal tool and hover over the embossed images until the powder melts and become shiny. Cut out the flowers and leaves you just embossed. Find the circle shapes from the stylish shapes dies and and the smaller thinner banner die and cut them out of the basic white card stock. To make the circles take two of the circles and place one inside the other to cut out the centers. Take the piece of 5x3 3/4 piece of DSP and adhere it to the left side of your embossed card stock but not all the way to the edge. Using the glue adhere the circles in the middle of the card stock. Arrange your flowers and leaves as shown. Make a double ribbon and adhere under the flowers. Stamp best wishes with the starry night ink on your banner, pop up using dimensionals. Cut a piece of basic white 5 x 4 and stamp a flower in the corner. Adhere to the inside of your card. You can also stamp some flowers to the outside of your envelope. I hope you enjoyed making this card.
