 Hi Stamping Friend, Today I'm sharing with you the third and final card I created for the swap I participated in to launch the new Mini catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. It's a very basic card, but I think it's very pretty in all its simplicity.  The card base is made from the standard half sheet of cardstock, in this case its Gray Granite. Cut it so that it opens the way you want it to open. (8.5 X 5.5 scored at 4.25 to open on the right; 4.25 X 11 scored at 5.25 to open on the bottom)  The insert is Basic White cut to 4 X 5.25  For the card front, the Night of Navy layer is 3.5 X 5, the Balmy Blue layer is 3 X 4.5 and the "waves" are a 3 X 3 piece of DSP cut roughly in half, but not in a straight line.  The sentiment is stamped in Coastal Cabana. I stamped the shell on Basic White with Night of Navy and colored it with the Dark Calypso Coral Blends, then die-cut it and adhered it with dimensionals and finished it off with a large Flat Adhesive Backed Pea

 Hi Stamping Friend, The card I have for you this week is the second of three I designed for the swap using products from the new January-April 2023 Mini catalog and the Sale-A-Bration brochure. I paired the Sea Turtle and Happy Labels stamp sets from the mini catalog with Delicate Edges dies and Texture Chic DSP from the annual catalog. To me they seem made for each other.  This card is really quite simple if you have the basic tools. The DSP makes a perfect background. The turtle is fussy cut, the "seaweed" is die-cut. I gave the seaweed & turtle some dimension by using my bone folder to add some curl to the paper. The turtle is popped up with dimensionals, the seaweed is adhered with Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue, but I played with it, making sure some areas were slightly raised off the paper so it looks like it could be moving in the water. What do you think?   Thanks for stopping by, Live Long & Craft On! -Susan 🌄🖖 Product List Sea Turtle Photopolymer S
