By The Dock

Love this card posted on page 113 of the new 2020 Annual Catalog. Thankful that I am a Stampin Up Demonstrator and have access to how the cards in the catalog are made. If you are interested in becoming a demonstrator, please contact me through my website. This is one of many benefits of being a demonstrator. Did I mention saving money on EVERY order?

This card features the By the Dock stamp set and Dockside Dies.

This is my take on the card:

Base: 11 x 4 1/4 Night of Navy cardstock, scored at 5 1/2 

White: 5 1/2 x 4 1/2

I made lines across the card using the Light Purple Posy Stampin Blend. Then I used the Dark Purple Posy Stampin Blend overlapping on the light. Then I used the Light Night of Navy Stampin Blend followed by the Dark Night of Navy Stampin Blend. All of the colors overlap into the next color. I used the white watercolor pencil in Assortment 1 to add some dimension to the ocean water. Trim this piece down to 5 1/8 x 4. Trim off 1/2" on both the top and the bottom. Adhere as shown to your base.

Stamp the dock in Memento Ink on Sahara Sand cardstock. Color using the Crumb Cake Stampin Blends. Color the bird using the white watercolor pencil. Die cut using Dockside dies. Adhere using dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment on Sahara Sand using Night of Navy. Die cut circle with Stitched Shapes. Adhere using dimensionals. 

Stamp the birds with Memento Ink onto white cardstock, color with Balmy Blue Stampin Blends and die cut.

Color 4 jewels from the Flowers for Every Season Gems with Stampin blends. A trick that was mentioned since these gems do not have adhesive on them, put them down on a strip of adhesive to hold them. When they are dry lift them off (I used my tweezers) and adhere to the card.

This card is so much prettier in person. Get your supplies and make yours today!

All these supplies and more are available through my website.

See you soon!
