Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing fun fold cards. I have chosen to share the Waves of Inspiration corner latch card made for my son’s upcoming birthday.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the waves of inspiration corner latch card, you will need:

Coastal Cabana card base – 9⅛” by 4⅛” scored at 5⅞”
Bermuda Bay card – 5¾”by 4”
Bermuda Bay card – 4” by 3⅛” x 2
Bermuda Bay 4” by ⅛”
Simply Marbleous dsp – 3⅞” by 3” x 2
Simply Marbleous dsp – 3⅞” by 2⅞”
Basic White card – 3⅞” by 2⅝”
Misty Moonlight card – 4⅞” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 4¾” by 3 ¼”
Misty Moonlight card – 2” by 2” cut across the diagonal into a triangle
Scrap Basic White card

 

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I adhered the two identical panels of Simply Marbleous dsp to the two identical Bermuda Bay panels. One was then glued to the card front and the other to the back of the card front.

The small panel of Basic White was glued to the left-hand side of the larger Bermuda Bay layer. The remaining piece of Simply Marbleous dsp was added next to it. To cover the join, I added the 1/8” strip of Bermuda Bay card.

Using Tear ‘n Tape around the top and side, I added the triangle of Misty Moonlight ink to the upper right corner of the card base to provide the latch.

I inked up the large wave image using Bermuda Bay ink and added patches of Pacific Point and Misty Moonlight using Sponge Daubers and stamped it onto the larger Basic White panel. This was then mounted on the Misty Moonlight panel using the liquid glue.

The pelican on the posts was stamped in Soft Suede ink and coloured using Crumb Cake and So Saffron Blends Markers. I die cut it out using the co-ordinating Wave Dies and added it, on Dimensionals to the stamped panel. The whole piece was then added to the card front, taking care to add ink only to the left-hand side. The top of the stamped panel then tucked under the latch.

I stamped the poles with and without birds three more times on scrap Basic White and cut them out to add inside the card.

Oceanfront Picture for the Crafty Collaborations Home Decor Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop where we are share home décor projects. I am sharing a picture made using the gorgeous Oceanfront stamp set, can’t seem to stop using this versatile stamp set, I just love it.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the oceanfront picture, you will need:

Balmy Blue card – 6” by 4” with the inside cut out to give a ½” frame all the way around
Basic White card – 6” by 4”
Picture Frame – 6” by 4” – mine came from Tesco’s

 

I punched a ¾” circle from a Post It Note and placed it towards the top of the Basic White panel. The sky was then stamped overtop with Balmy Blue ink. It came up quite dark as I had just re-inked the inkpad but I quite liked it. I think it gives the picture a moodier look.

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Soft Suede card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”

Posted on by

I have been playing with some of my favourite stamp sets and have made a pretty card featuring wellies in a rural landscape.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the wellies in a rural landscape card, you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Evening Evergreen card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

 

On the smaller panel of Basic White card, I stamped the ‘sky’ image from the Oceanfront stamp set in Balmy Blue ink. I added the green grass in Pear Pizzazz and the ‘ground’ in Gray Granite ink.

The trees on the skyline were stamped in Evening Evergreen ink. I used Soft Succulent ink to stamp the reeds. The panel was then added to the Balmy Blue card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using my trimmer, I cut out the centre of the Evening Evergreen panel leaving a ½” frame which I mounted over the stamped panel with Dimensionals.
