Saturday Blog Hop – Beach Time

By | 2 Comments

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  This week our theme is “Beach Time”.  With the weather FINALLY warming up in Ohio, it is time to think about a trip to the beach!

NOTES & TOTES

This bundle was one of the first to jump into my shopping cart!  SO cute!  My Stamp Class made this card last month and they loved it!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Basic Beige cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
  • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Summer Splash was embossed with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder and added to the front.
  • A 2-1/2 x 4 piece of Crumb Cake cardstock was torn across the top, then stamped with the “sand” image randomly over the entire piece with Crumb Cake Ink.  The greeting from Notes & Totes was stamped with Misty Moonlight Ink.
  • The tote was cut with the Die from 3 x 4-3/4 Florals in Bloom DSP and folded on the scorelines.
  • The handle, bands, base and sunglasses were cut with the Dies from Misty Moonlight cardstock and added to the front of the tote.
  • The rim of the sunglasses, starfish and bottle were cut from Timid Tiger cardstock with the Die.  The sunglasses were adhered together and the bottle was stamped with the sun in Timid Tiger Ink.  Just the top of the bottle was cut again from Basic White cardstock and trimmed, then adhered to the Timid Tiger bottle top.
  • All pieces were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Two orange 2025-27 In Color Flat Pearls were added to the starfish and sun on the bottle.

Love it!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!

IM383 – Notes & Totes

By | Leave a Comment

Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration is a beach scene!  I wish it would get warm enough around here to go to the beach at the lake…it’s been TOO cool so far!

NOTES & TOTES

I was SO excited to see Stampin’ Up! came out with this Notes & Totes Bundle!  Love it!  Debbie and I have already done a class tutorial for CSF with it.  SO CUTE!  But here’s my card inspired by the beach scene inspiration photo!  I even used the “newspaper” or iPad die-cut to make my towel!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Cloud Cover cardstock was stamped with the greeting using Poppy Parade Ink in the upper right corner and added to the front.
  • A 1-1/2 x 5-1/4 strip of Balmy Blue cardstock was torn across the top and adhered behind a 2-1/2 x 5-1/4 strip of Crumb Cake torn across the top.  The Crumb Cake was stamped with the sand image randomly with Crumb Cake Ink.
  • Two clouds were cut from Basic White cardstock with the Sunrise Sailing Dies and added to the background along the top.
  • The tote was cut from Poppy Parade cardstock and stamped with the hibiscus flower in Poppy Parade Ink randomly.
  • The handle and base of the tote were cut from Basic White cardstock and added to the tote.  The tote was adhered to the front of the card with Monoadhesive Glue on the tab portions and Stampin’ Dimensionals for the body of the tote.
  • The towel was cut with the Newspaper/iPad Die from Mixed Media Designer Paper and the top folded down to hang out of the tote.
  • Two bands were cut from Petal Pink cardstock and added as the trim for the towel.
  • The sunglasses were cut from Basic White and Basic Black cardstock and adhered together, then added to the handle with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The shell was cut from Cloud Cover and the starfish from Basic White and added next to the toe with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The water bottle was cut from Petal Pink and stamped with a Flirty Flamingo sun, then tucked in the bag.
  • A trio of Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems were added to the background.

 

I think I need to keep this card for my husband’s retirement someday…I know he’d like it!   OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
