Undersea Gel Card

This is the card I wanted to make as soon as I saw this stamp set in the new catalog.   I saw the underwater card using gel years ago and thought it was cool but of course never made one.  When I was at our local store I saw this off brand hair gel that had a blue hue and I thought it was prefect for this card.  

Whoever gets this card, I am sure won't stop touching the water part, it is pretty cool.  I am not sure how it will mail but maybe I will have to test it.  

Thanks for stopping by and letting me know what you think!

Seaside Shaker Card

Here's a few shaker cards I made a couple of weeks ago using the new Laying Square Framelits, Seaside Stamp Set and the By the Shore DSP.  My grandmother passed away on June 3rd, she was on my mind when I made these cards.  I always think of the beach, fabric and Chocolate Ice Cream when I think of her.  Whenever we visited her in the summer it was always the beach, the fabric store and eating all the Chocolate Ice Cream we wanted (I think she believe that was the only kind to eat and well I do agree).  Love you Grandma!  

I used my Fringe Scissors and a scrap of Crumb Cake and added a little gold glitter for the shaker part.  

The fish were cut out using my Scan and Cut.

Serene Silhouette Sympathy Card

I wanted to make a Non Gender Sympathy Card so I pulled out the Serene Silhouettes stamp set for some help. I could not resit using the Hardwood Stamp Set for the background and the Timeless Textures Stamp Set for the water and grass area.

Timeless Texture meets Picture Perfect

The other day I came across a card done by Anna Smith.  I loved how she made a beach scene with the new Timeless Texture Stamp Set. So I decided to sit down and create a beach card using the Timeless Texture, Wetlands, and Picture Perfect.  I have been wanting to use the Starfish from the picture perfect stamp set for some time.  

The Sand and Water was easy to creating using the Timeless Texture.  I sponged the sky using So Saffron and Soft Sky Ink.

Nautical Window Scene cased

The other day I was looking for more ways to use the Window Framelit.  I wanted something a little different.  Well I came across this card made by Amy K and I fell in love with it.  I loved all her details and I thought it was genius to use the lighthouse,  I had to recreate one.  If you have not looked at her web site, you should.  She is a very talented demonstrator.

As I was doing this card, I really wanted the glossy look for the window trim. against the whitewash hardwood.  So I pulled put some Retired Glossy Cardstock and cut out my window (if you don't have any you could use glossy photo paper).  I used a well inked White Craft Ink pad and my hardwood stamp to stamp on a piece of Sahara Sand to create the white wash wall. I cut my piece of white 1-1/4" jute ribbon in half lengthwise to add to the nautical look.

Z-Fold Sea Turtle

I have a workshop this weekend and this is one of the cards we will be making.  Some of the ladies loved this Land to Sea Card I made in June but never made it.  So I thought I would recreate a similar card using the turtles, which I love from this set.  

• The background was created a little differently.  I lightly sponged the whole piece of Watercolor paper with the Soft Sky Ink.  Using a torn piece of paper, I sponged Pool Party and Mint Macaroon to create the ripples of water.  Lightly sponged the edges using the Mint Macaroon Ink.  After the background was created I used a very wet Aqua Painter and hit it against my fingers to leave water drops on the card.  That is how I created the droplets on the card front.  

• Once the card was dry, I used the torn piece of paper, I sponged the bottom with crumb cake ink to create the sand.  

• I used the bottom of the Jelly Fish to create the sea grass, using the Pool Party and Mint Macaroon Ink.  

• I stamped 3 turtles in Early Espresso Ink on a scrap of very vanilla.  I used my Crumb Cake and Mint Macaroon marker to color the turtles. I fussy cut all 3 turtles and attached 2 to the card front and 1 to the inside piece.

Set of three Nautical Cards

I have a group I meet with every 6 weeks, they have named themselves the Creative Diva's.  This group is very new to stamping and paper crafting, so I have a good time introducing them to new things every 6 weeks.  This time they wanted me to introduce to them scrapbooking, but a couple of them really wanted to do cards.  I thought a Nautical/Beach layout for the summer would be the best.  I created a Project Life Nautical Layout that I will show you next week but I really wanted to show the three cards that I created using the same stamps as the scrapbook layout.  I wanted the layout of the cards to be very similar so it will be easier for newbies and easier for me to cutout.   Two of the cards are Soft Sky, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla.  The Sea Turtle card I had to use the Mint Macron, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla.    The faux brads are the 1/4" handheld circle punch.
