When you grow up swimming in the Gulf of Mexico, the sea gets into your blood. When you move far away, as I did, you ache to once again walk along the seashore. This card reminds me of my days on Pass-A-Grille Beach. (I have the age spots to prove it. There was no sunscreen back then.)
I put off purchasing this suite of products, but then could not resist. It is the perfect suite for bright springtime cards. There is so much you can do with this sweet I could be making cards for a week (or more!). For this card, to add interest, I used foam adhesive sheets to pop up the central panel and the sentiment.
If I were limited to purchasing one bundle today, it would be Springtime Scenes, one of the most versatile bundles I've ever worked with. The dies are especially fabulous. I paired Soft Sea Foam with Garden Green for great contrast. We'll make this card in my March classes.
One of the best things about using Stampin' Up! products is how well they coordinate with each other. For this card, I used elements from different sets to create a cohesive whole. I made the birds Strawberry Slush so they would stand out.
I do enjoy creating slimline cards. This one is smaller than the standard slimline size. For envelopes I purchased money envelopes in a rainbow of colors.
This simple card will be featured in one of my beginners' classes. It is simple to create and partipants will learn about both embossing and die cutting along with stamping and adding ribbon and embellishments.
I CASEd a card by Patty Bennett but added a black layer to add interest. This is one of the most versatile bundles you can have in your collection. There are dozens and dozens of ways to use it.
After watching Patty Bennet's video about slimline cards, I decided to make one smaller than the standard size. Following Patty's advice I purchased colorful money envelopes to go with the small sized cards. We will make this card in my March classes.
