Stampin’ Up! Beach Day
The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set. I have had a hard time trying to write instructions for making this card so I will just show you a few pictures, give instructions I hope make sense and give the dimensions of the cardstock and Country Woods Designer Series Paper used in the creation.
The card base is Crumb Cake. Make two card bases 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, Score at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″. Trim off about 1/16″ from the card base that will be the right side one. Adhere the two card base together, placing one flat piece inside the other. By trimming off just the little smidge, it will make the card close easier.
Card Cuts you will need for this card:
- Crumb Cake cardstock
- card base — 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ (cut 2) score at 2-1/8″ and 4-1/4″
- mats for top & bottom pieces on card front 1-3/4″ x 4-1/2″ (cut 2)
- mat for art piece — 4″ x 4″
- sand banks — 1″ x 3-3/4″ (cut 2)
- Basic White cardstock
- inside piece — 4″ x 5-1/4″
- art piece — 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″
- stamped images — 4″ x 4″
- Country Woods Designer Series Paper
- top & bottom pieces card front — 1-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ (cut 2)
- side panels inside — 1-7/8″ x 5-1/4″ (cut 2)
This is how the card looks when you begin opening it. It can look like a square card.
As you can see the surf boards go between the top and bottom piece on the Crumb Cake. I didn’t place the Country Woods Designer Series Paper piece closer to the top and bottom of the card base so I had to cut the bottom from the surf boards. I used Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly, and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends to color the surf boards.
Adhesive is adhered only on the left side of the Crumb Cake mats, so the other end will slide easily behind the art piece when closed.
Challenges I am entering
Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge
The Paper Players Challenge down the right side
On the Basic White piece use Blending Brushes and Lemon Lolly, Calypso Coral, and Pool Party ink to create the sky.
On the two pieces of Crumb Cake die cut the sand banks, brush with Crumb Cake ink using a Blending Brush, stamp the seashell image on the sand banks. The sand banks will be layered at the bottom of the art piece and the beach shack will be adhered over the edge of it.
Stamp in Memento Black ink the beach shack, coloring using Azure Afternoon, Cajun Craze, Peach Pie, Pool Party, and Real Red Stampin’ Blends.
Die cut the grass using a die from Beach Day Dies.
Stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day Stamp Set in Versa Mark on a scrap of Crumb Cake cardstock, sprinkle White Embossing Powder and heat set using a heat tool.
Stamp the seagull image in Memento Black ink, die cut and pop on the upper right corner of the card base.
Adhere the art piece to the right side of the card front putting adhesive only in the middle edge of the piece so the card will slide open and close easy.
You can see how the two Country Woods Designer Series Paper pieces are adhered to either side of the card.
On a panel of Basic White cardstock stamp the sentiments from Stampin’ Up! Beach Day stamp set in Pool Party and Calypso Coral inks. Using a Blending Brush and Crumb Cake ink, brush some sand at the bottom of the panel.
Stamp in Memento Black ink the chair and umbrella. Color using Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly, and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends. Adhere the panel to the inside card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
A Basic White envelope gets a piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Glue.
