Oceanfront Card Tutorial

Hi Friends! I’ve been a bit MIA lately, due to all the house renos and new addition we’ve been working on. This past weekend I also painted our living room and fireplace – wow, what a difference paint makes! I’ve got a new video coming your way tomorrow (or Friday) and next week I’ll share this month’s FREE online card class with you too! In the meantime, I’ve got a BEAUTIFUL card tutorial for you, featuring the lovely “Oceanfront” stamp set:

• Basic White: 5-1/2” x 3-1/2”

Instructions:

1. Score the large piece of Basic White cardstock at 4-1/4“. Fold in half, and use your Bone Folder to create a sharp crease.
2. Using Pool Party ink, stamp the water image in the centre of the 5-1/2” x 3-1/2” piece of Basic White cardstock.
3. Using Blushing Bride ink, stamp the sky.
4. Using Gray Granite ink, stamp the sand.
5. Use Old Olive ink to stamp the tall leaves on the left side, and use Rich Razzleberry to stamp the grass just left of centre. Glue the cardstock to the card base.
6. Using Early Espresso ink, stamp the double rock image on a scrap piece of paper. Hand cut around the edges of the image. Adhere to the main image with Stampin’ Seal.
7. Using Memento Tuxedo black ink, stamp the sentiment from the ‘On the Horizon stamp set into a piece of scrap Basic White cardstock.
8. Use your die cutting machine and the smallest of the Tailor Made Tags to cut the sentiment. Use your paper trimmer, or hand cut the right side so that you have a flat edge against the edge of the stamped cardstock. Attach with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
