Seaside Wishes

 I love anything ocean/seaside themed, this new bundle makes me happy, sand dollars, starfish and sea grass💜. The hybrid embossing folder and matching die create a wonderful sea scene. I matched the weathered wood look from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper, they go together beautifully.

Cutting

Pattern 1 DSP: 5 1/2 x 2 1/8

Pattern 2 DSP: 2 3/4 x 4

Very Vanilla: 5 1/2 x 4 (inside), 3 x 4 1/4, pieces for sand dollar, star fish, coral and sentiment

Assembly 

Cut and emboss one sand dollar with the hybrid embossing folder, die cut the star fish and coral. 

Stamp the starfish image in a random pattern on the right side of the card front in Misty Moonlight ink. Attach DSP pattern 1 to the left side of the card front.

Attach DSP pattern 2 to the Very Vanilla rectangle, attach to the card from with Dimensionals. Before attaching the sand dollar brush some Pebbled Path ink on the top to add an accent. Attach the sand dollar, starfish and coral to the card front. Stamp the sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink, fussy cut and attach to the card front with Dimensionals. top the card with Flat Pearls.

I will be using this bundle often; it has tons of possibilities.

Happy Stamping

Pretty in Pink Flowers

Happy to see Pretty in Pink has made it back to the Stampin' Up! color collection. It works so well for this card. 


Cutting 

Pretty in Pink: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4 

Basic White: (2)5 1/4 x 4, one to emboss with the eyelet folder, the other to stamp/die cut the leaves, flowers and die cut/stamp the sentiment

Crumb Cake: 4 3/16 x 3 3/8

Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper: 4 x 3 1/4

Assembly

Attach embossed Basic White to the Pretty in Pink card base, attach the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to the Crumb Cake, then attach to the card base with Dimensionals.


When stamping the leaves ink up and stamp off the full leave, then stamp the lined leaf image over the top. For the flowers stamp the small flowers full strength, and ink up and stamp off the larger flower. When die cutting the flower it will not be one piece but 6 separate flowers. Attach the separate flowers to the leaf, then attach it to the DSP with Dimensionals. Stamp the sentiment and attach with Dimensionals, top with InColor Gems. Lastly tie a bow with the Linen Thread and attach to the card with a Glue Dot. 

Hope you enjoy this card idea!
