Stampin' Up! has several bundles on sale for 20% off during March. That inspired me to pull out some of them for a little crafting. I started with one that's been sitting on my shelf unused for too long. I used Seascape to make 2 cards - a slimline card and a traditional size card. Here they are. What a fun bundle!
The fish and seahorse dies in this set are so unique! They cut out a partial image. But with a couple of snips, they can be completely cut out. Let's take a closer look at each card:
This card is a standard 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" card. My card base is Just Jade. I stamped the Gentle Waves stamp on the base. On a piece of Basic White card stock cut to 5-1/4" x 4", I started out by die cutting the fish. Then, using blending brushes and holding the fish out of the way, I added Crumb Cake along the bottom of the card and a blend of Soft Sea Foam and Pool Party for the water. I stamped the plant and greeting in Just Jade, again, holding the fish away from the stamping. The bubble were stamped in Pool Party. The background behind the fish is a piece of Designer Series Paper from Waves of the Ocean. The embellishments are from Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels.
For my second card, I made a slimline card, starting with a Coastal Cabana followed by a layer of Basic White card stock. The next layer is a piece of Designer Series Paper from Waves of the Ocean. I used a Blending Brush to add Crumb Cake ink to the bottom of the panel and then added the sand stamp, also stamped in Crumb Cake. The sea plants were stamped in Just Jade and Granny Apple Green. I used Rainbow Glimmer Paper to die cut the little fish and Ombre Specialty Paper to die cut the sea horse. I stamped the greeting in Coastal Cabana on Basic White card stock and finished off the card with Faux Sea Glass Shapes in the "sand" and Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels by the greeting.
I created recipe cards for each of the projects. They are print-able, as I know some of you like to print them off and save them.
Please use the host code for March, AX9NDVUS when ordering. If your order is more than $150.00, do not use the code. Doing so would forfeit your earned hostess benefits. However, you will still receive this month's order bonus from me.
I am grateful for you selecting me as your Stampin' Up! demonstrator. Thank you! If there is ever anything I can do for you, please just let me know.
Make it a Stamp-tastic Day!
Melanie
