THE GIFT OF FRIENDSHIP

Today’s card features the Seaside Wishes Bundle and the Country Woods Designer Series Paper.  I love how these two products work together.  I also love how the Seaside Wishes Bundle comes with that great hybrid 3D embossing folder that embosses and die cuts the sand dollars at the same time. 

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Basic Beige cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  Then I cut a piece of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper to 3 x 5 ½” but before adding it to my card base, I added strips of Crumb Cake cardstock to each side.  I cut it about ½” wide and then just added it to the back of the DSP keeping about ¼” showing.  With that done I adhered it to my card front.  Next, I took a piece of Basic Beige that measured 4 ¼ x 5” and added it to the embossing folder with the dies so I could get the three sand dollars embossed and cut.  I used a Blending Brush and some Crumb Cake Ink and lightly inked the sand dollars to make the detail pop a little more.  I took the middle size one and set it aside for the inside.  Then I took a scrap of Basic White cardstock and die cut one of the images from the bundle.  I added the largest of the sand dollars to the right side of the card near the top edge of the DSP using Dimensionals.  I added the white shell adhering it directly to the large sand dollar.  Then I added the smallest sand dollar to the bottom left edge of the large sand dollar using Dimensionals where it did not overlap and adhesive where it did. 

For my sentiment I used the label die from the Enduring Beauty Dies to die cut it out of Basic Beige cardstock.  I added the sentiment “your friendship is the best gift” from the Seaside Wishes stamp set onto it using Early Expresso Ink.  I cut a piece of Basic Beige Ribbon to about 7” and made a loop and attached it to the back of the label with a piece of Tear & Tape.  Then I added the sentiment and ribbon to the front of the card. 

For the inside I added a piece of Basic White cardstock that measured 4 x 5 ¼” and that middle-sized sand dollar.

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:
