September Specials
Stampin’ Up! has Two great specials for the month of September. The first is that Each week will be a different set of discounted products! For this week it is a mixture of Dies, DSP, and embellishments. The second is that Dies have been added for some of the Annual Catalog stamp sets. These are available individually or as a bundle with the set. My favorite is one for This Birthday Piggy! Click on my button saying “Shop” and go to “Specials”. You will see both the Weekly Deals and the Perfect Partners special.
The Beach
My project for you today is a fun Beachy card. The Beach is on my mind and this one turned out as I envisioned. SunKissed stamp set is not just a Christmas set.
Stamping
The Sunkissed stamp set is a simple beachy theme with both regular and Christmas sentiments. This little scene is what I plan on doing next week. That is doing nothing but sitting on the beach!! Until then I will share this beach with you. The stamping is the beach scene. It is stamped onto Sahara Sand cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored using Stampin’ Blends. The darker “sand” area is a Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend to create more depth.
The beach scene was torn along the water edge to give the beach and sand look. However the umbrella required a bit more finesse and was cut around. Then the beach scene is added to the DSP piece to give more of the 3D look. For the final stamping, I used Memento Black again and stamped the simple “Enjoy” from the Cup of Tea stamp set. That is definitely what I plan on doing.
Paper
Sadly I am a day late on sharing this card regarding the paper. The DSP piece is a reverse side of a piece from the Rings of Love Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper. But if you are lucky enough to have some, then you are ready. There is a similar piece in the Awash In Beauty DSP. To pull out the bit of Soft Sea Foam that is in the upper edge of the paper, I went with a Soft Sea Foam card base. That is an ocean color as well and fits in perfectly.
