By the Bay

Hello Stampers!

I hope everyone is doing well. My life has been so busy that finding time for stamping right now has been far and few.

This card I made is for a class tonight that I am attending. It is using the Seaside Bay Bundle. This bundle is retiring as a bundle but is moving to the new annual catalog and can be purchased separately. If you like this set you will want to purchase now as you can save 10% on the bundle.

My card base is basic white 8.5 x 5.5 with a layer of Night of Navy 5.25 x 4. I then added a strip of the DSP 3/4 x 5, basic white is 2.75 x 5. I started off with some brushing with the small blending brushes. the bottom o f the card is crumb cake, then I stamped the sand in with Crumb cake ink. The top of the card is Night of Navy ink brushed in. I then took a post it note and put at the end of the ink, left a small gap and put another post it note and then brushed in some polished pink ink.

The sand pipers are stamped in Night of Navy ink and then die cut. I die cut a seashell from the Season of Chic stamp set, in Mint Macaron. Another sea shell in pearlescent specialty paper. Before attaching all these pieces I added a few stamped sea shells in grey granite. Then attached the shells and the birds are all attached with stampin dimensionals. Finished off the card with some flat adhesive backed pearls and the greeting stamped in black memento ink.

On the inside of the card across the bottom I stamped the shells and sand in crumb cake as well as on the envelope flap. This makes for a great masculine card, whether birthday, anniversary, thinking of you or sympathy. All would work with this card.

Don’t forget you only have until May 2nd, to purchase this bundle at the 10% discount. After that you will purchase the stamp set and dies all separately.

If you do not have a demonstrator, I would love to be yours, drop me a message and I will get a catalog out to you.

Have a great day!
