Today’s card was a card I designed for last month’s library card class and haven’t posted.

This card uses the Memorable Blooms bundle and even though this stamp set has floral and foliage images and would normally lend itself to very feminine cards but this more masculine card uses the leaf sprig from the Memorable Blooms die set in neutral colors.

Measurements:
BASE: Very Vanilla CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
scrap for die
DSP: (2) 3/4″ x 3″ from Naturally Gilded
Specialty paper
(2) 3/4″ x 3″ from the Gold Foil Specialty
paper
Window Sheet: 3″ x 3″

Glue the 3/4″ x 3″ Naturally Gilded Specialty Paper to the top of the Window Sheet.

Glue the 3/4″ x 3″ Golf Foil Specialty Paper to the bottom of the Window Sheet.

Glue the last two Specialty Paper strips to the middle of the Window Sheet spacing evenly.

Place the Window Sheet square in the upper middle of the card and stamp the sentiment below the square in the lower 1/3 of the card in Wild Wheat ink.

Pop up the Window Sheet with Stampin’ Dimensionals strategically placed under the Specialty paper strips so that they do not show.

Adhere the square over the sentiment with the Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Place the Neutral Adhesive-Backed Sequins around the sentiment.

Adhere the die cut over the left-hand side of the popped up square.

seaside wishes sand dollar card

by nataliegramleystamps | May 8, 2024 | card samples, die cutting, embossing folders, my favorites, new catalog, stamps ink paper

If you have been following me for a while, iyou know I love the water. I live on a lake and love all things that have to do with the water. So it will come as no surprise that I needed the Seaside Wishes stamp set for my collection as soon as I saw it in the New annual Catalog!
It is a hybrid embossing folder bundle so it was a bonus for me!

This is a simple regular A2 card but it becomes special when you add the hybrid embossing folder to the mix!

I started with the new Basic Beige cardstock for the base. This is our newest core color added to the Basics Collection joining White, Black and Vanilla.

Measurements
BASE: Basic Beige 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Crumb Cake 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
Pecan Pie 1/4″ x 4 1/4″
Basic White scrap for the sentiment

I die cut the sand dollar images in Crumb cake and then cut the negative piece at 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ for the card front.

I adhered the Crumb Cake cardstock to the card front of a Basic Beige card base.

I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap of Basic White and adhered the sand dollars onto Stampin’ Dimensionals back into their original negative die cut spaces. I adhered the sentiment with tape on the left side and a Dimensional on the right so it would be the same level as the sand dollars.
