For the second week of my Card Creations Series featuring the To the Point punch, I created another beach themed card. This time choosing those Friendly Seagulls to ride those waves on my card.
Just trimming the To the Point Label created some cute waves that created a border for my beachy card. with the seagulls nestled among the coral. This is such a fun set and don’t they look so cheeky?

Hello and welcome to this week’s CASEing the Catty Challenge. For CTC477 the Crew are CASEing the colours of the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper. This DSP incorporates some In-Colors and Core colours from our range and includes Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Misty Moonlight, Moody Mauve, Mossy Meadow and Wild Wheat.
I’ve chosen these colours for my card and with the combination including Misty Moonlight, I wanted to create something using the Seaside Wishes bundle.
I started by embossing a piece of Basic White Cardstock with the Seaside Wishes Embossing Folder. Then I blended some Early Espresso on it and as I kept looking at this piece, wasn’t quite happy with the colour. So I added some Misty Moonlight over it. The way this turned out made me think under-the-sea and Little Mermaid and my card just went in that direction.
With a Palette Knife I added some Copper Enamel Effects on the embossed panel which I also spread around with my finger. I love how this looked.
On the card base I added a piece of Wildly Flowering DSP which has the tone-on-tone flowers and topped it with a panel of Wild Wheat embossed with the criss-cross Embossing Folder which is part of the Basics Pack in our Online Store. Three panels of Thoughtful Journey DSP, layered onto Misty Moonlight Cardstock provide the base for all my die cut pieces
The coral was die cut from the Thoughtful Journey DSP which provided a lovely textured look. I added some shells die cut from Oxidized Copper Specialty Designer Series Paper which coordinated with the Enamel Effects used on the base.
At this point I thought the shells were sufficient bling but I couldn’t help myself. To finish off my card I added some sequins coloured with the Dark Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blend. This added just a subtle amount of sparkle without detracting from the other elements.
I hope you have enjoyed my CASE this week. For a product list please scroll to the bottom of this post. Click on the Next button to follow through to Peta Stephen’s blog to see her beautiful project and follow through our hop for lots more inspiration.
It’s time for another Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop with the Crafty Collaborations team. I’m using the Let’s go Fishing Designer Series Paper which has some lovely generic neutral designs in addition to it’s fishing themed images.
For the top of my design I angled a small strip of DSP. This was balanced with a strip of the same DSP at the bottom and the largest DSP panel which were both placed at the same angle.
I wanted to create space for smaller photos as well as a feature larger photo. Using the Stylish Shapes dies square die I created my polaroid look photo frames. At the back of it I added some Gray Granite mattes for the photos. Some Black and White photos would look great in these 3 smaller frames with a colour photo for the larger frame.
I’ve also used the Beauty of the Deep bundle for some stamped and die cut images adding some fussy cut fish from the DSP to swim around my page.
The large frame was placed straight to ground all the different angles that were on the page, bringing it together with another strip of DSP at the bottom.
This Designer Series Paper coordinates with the Let’s go Fishing bundle which will be carrying over into the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue. The paper is currently on our Last Chance sale and reduced to $10.87 (from $21.75), Grab yourself a pack (or two) of this while supplies last.

I’ve got a beachy card for you today, using a couple of our nautical sstamps and dies. Make sure you watch the video which I’ve linked below for the full process on recreating this.
I used this inspiration photo from Just Add Ink Challenges #686 as my starting point for this card. All along while creating my card I thought it was the colours that inspired me. Although this was probably part of it, I think subconsciously my mind saw those palm leaves in the background and went ‘BEACH’.
I watercoloured a sheet of Fluid 100 Cardstock with a few colours and once dry, die cut the coral. This gave me a beautiful shaded look. Watercolouring is just such a fun technique.
The Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper offers a lovely ‘sandy’ background for my seaside elements
