more color mondays – bubble bath, pretty in pink and secret sea

More Color Mondays today features Bubble Bath, Pretty in Pink and Secret Sea – in the Beach Boardwalk DSP pack there is a palm tree design which is super easy to make cards with – it has a border of palm trees on a bottom and top border – if you cut that page 5 1/4″ from the top and 5 1/4″ from the bottom edge you get two 12″ strips of palm trees – cut those again into 4″ pieces and you can make 6 of these cards from one sheet with paper from the middle to decorate the envelopes or the inside of the card!

Measurements:
BASE: Secret Sea CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″
DSP: 4″ x 6″ cut to 4″ x 5 1/4″ save the extra for
inside decoration
Bubble Bath CS: 1/2″ strip
Pretty in Pink CS: 1/2″ strip

Cut the DSP into 4″ x 6″ pieces and then cut 3/4″ off the 6″ side.

Score the base card at 5 1/2″, adhere the Basic White layer to the inside of the card and adhere the 3/4″ x 4″ strip to the bottom of the Basic White layer. I reversed the pattern and used the B side for the inside decor.

I stamped Fun in the Sun from the Beach Time scrapbooking set in Pretty in Pink ink on the Bubble Bath cardstock strip. I stamped the sun image at the end of the sentiment. I tore the right-hand edge and adhered that strip to the Pretty in Pink cardstock strip. I offset the strips and tore the right-hand edge of the bottom strip to match the one on top!

I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the sentiment strips.

I adhered the DSP to the card front.

I then adhered the sentiment strip with Dimensionals over the DSP.

I added Pearlized Faceted Circles around the sentiment and this simple but awesome card is complete. When you have Designer Series Paper this nice it is so easy to make lovely cards!

Try a pack of our gorgeous DSP today and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time.

Happy Stampin’
