A Coastal Christmas

-

 Tonight, I shared how my dog stole a sand dollar/seashell ornament off my tree and ate it. I discovered it as I was beginning to think about what I wanted to do for the week's Facebook Live. And, thus, this card was born.


Measurements

  • Thick Basic White Cardstock (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/4")
  • Basic White (scrap)
  • Coastal Cabana cardstock (3/4" x 5" strip, scraps)
  • Blushing Bride cardstock (scrap)
  • Crumb Cake (scrap)
  • Linen Thread (at least 12")

Directions

  1. Stamp boughs in Evening Evergreen on the card front such that one set (of two) boughs are pointing up and two are pointing down, with a gap in the middle.
  2. Stamp Merry Christmas in Versamark on Coastal Cabana strip, and heat emboss with white embossing powder. Flag ends.
  3. Stamp two small shells in Versamark onto Coastal Cabana scraps and two onto Blushing Bride stamps, then heat emboss with white embossing powder. Cut out each.
  4. Stamp starfish in Memento Black onto Crumb Cake cardstock and cut out (or die cut).
  5. Stamp sand dollar onto Basic White scrap, add shading around the edges and "holes" using Light Crumb Cake Blend marker. Soften edges with Color Lifter. Cut out (or die cut).
  6. Determine placement of all elements.
  7. Apply three dimensionals to the back of the Merry Christmas strip and add to the gap between the boughs while at the same time arranging Linen Thread behind it.
  8. Add starfish, seashells and sand dollar where desired using a combination of Liquid Glue and dimensionals (or mini dimensionals).
  9. Add three Opal Rounds to card front.
  10. Stamp a greeting on the inside and embellish with leftover cut out seashells.

It's Always Beach Time!

 It was rainy and cool all day today, but that's not going to dampen my beach vibes! I was inspired by a card done by a German demonstrator named Antje to create this sweet little card featuring the On the Horizon bundle from the Jan-June mini catalog. This bundle will be retiring at the end of June, but since I live in a beach community, I can't see it retiring from my collection any time soon. Measurements (complete supply list at the bottom of this post) Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" 8-1/2", scored in half at 4-1/") Basic White scrap Old Olive scrap Chipboard or cardstock for template (4-1/2" x 5-1/2") Directions Cut a circle out of the template material where you want the circle to be on your finished project (centered horizontally but more toward the top than bottom). Place the template over the front of the card. Using Crumb Cake ink pad and a blending brush, apply ink to the lower third of the circle window. Using Balmy Blue ink pad and a b...

 It's apple season in Maine. I have to be honest, I don't pick a lot of apples. Or drink a lot of apple cider. But I do love apple cider doughnuts, so that counts, right? Tonight, I featured the More than Autumn bundle, which was also featured in my Sept. 24th Tune in Tuesday class. I love this bundle and think you will also! Measurements Crumb Cake card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4") Splendid Autumn DSP (medium green background and deep red background, each 3" x 4-1/2", plus a scrap of the deep red background) Basic White cardstock (5/8" x 3", scraps) Directions Adhere green background layer to card base on an angle, then add the red background layer on top, at a different angle.  Die cut circle from Basic White cardstock. Color the cup with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends. Stamp cup on the circle using Early Espresso ink. Stamp cup again on the scrap of deep red background paper. Fussy cut the cup sleeve. Adhere t...

Changing Leaves...not quite yet!

-
Image
 It's still summery here in southern Maine, but the nights are getting cooler and it won't be long before the leaves begin changing. Until then, I have a card for you made with the Changing Leaves bundle, an Online Exclusive from Stampin' Up! It's currently on backorder, but should be in the week of September 9th. And in case you missed my Tune in Tuesday class a few days ago, I've linked to it after the link to the replay of my Friday Night Live where I created this card. Measurements Crumb Cake card base (4-1/4" x 11", scored and folded in half at 5-1/2") Basic White cardstock (4" x 5-1/4", various sizes of scraps for leaves and sentiment) Country Woods DSP (2-3/4" x 4") Linen Thread (four 6" lengths) Directions Adhere DSP layer to Basic White layer. Lay the four lengths of Linen Thread next to each other to cover the area where the DSP meets the Basic White in the middle of the card. Adhere on back side with tape or desired...
