IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR SOME FEATURES AND A FUN FOLD CARD

This week I have been showcasing the Beach Day Bundle.

The Photopolymer Stamp Set has 14 stamps – 4 different greetings and 10 awesome beach inspired images.

The greetings combine two different fonts and the images are outlined and perfect for colouring.

To coordinate with the stamps, there are 21 dies in the bundle.

Today’s card is a fun fold card that I made using a piece of 12″x 6″ that was scored at 4″ and 8″.

I also used the Bright & Beautiful 6″x 6″ DSP this week. Several of the designs were perfect for sky and ocean backgrounds.

I am so pleased with the extended beach scene I was able to create.

After cutting, scoring and folding the card base, I began creating each of the beach scenes throughout the card.

For the front I placed a panel of the DSP for the sky and then added the die cut beach element. I used my Dark Pecan Pie Blender Pen to create the sandy flecks across the beach.

I cut the wave piece using one of the Beach Day Dies and adhered it between the beach and the sky.

The next step was to add the palm tree and then the life guard’s hut. The hut was coloured in the same day as the hut from Monday.

After stamping and trimming the greeting, I tucked a loop of Lemon Lolly Sheer Ribbon, from the Combo Pack, behind the greeting. The greeting was popped up on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Then I stamped and die cut some seagulls to add to the card.

When the card is fully opened there are three 4″ wide panels. I added two DSP panels and a Basic White panel to the card.

Then I added a 12″ wide panel of Crumb Cake card that had been die cut using the wavy die to create a beach waterline. This panel was scored at 4″, 6″, 8″ and 10″. The waves were added to the two outer panels.

I added palm trees, umbrellas, beach chairs, sandcastles, shells, a beachball, surfboards and shells to the beach panel.

To the skyline I added clouds, from the Hot Air Balloon Dies, and a few seagulls.

I am so happy with the beach scenes I created for this card.

I’m just deciding whether I need to go back and add another wave to the centre panel. What do you think? Should I?

So many fun products to play with!

Tomorrow I will have a challenge project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
