Seaside or Coastline for Cardz 4 Galz # 278
Welcome back to the bi-weekly Cardz 4 Galz challenge #278. Our host for this two week challenge, Billie A., chose Brown & Green with Ribbon or Twine for the theme. When you finish here, please visit the challenge site to see what the rest of the design team members created. Then, don’t forget to upload your creations to our gallery. We look forward to seeing your creations there!
I live in Central Florida, and the Atlantic Ocean to watch sunrises is only about 30 minutes away. The Gulf Coast is about 2 hours away, if I wanted to see the sunset. The Florida Keys are absolutely gorgeous for sunrises and sunsets. Anyway, this DSP (designer series paper) reminds me of being at the beach.
Here’s my card:
Here’s a couple of pictures showing actual sunsets here. The first is from my backyard and the second is from a walk on the beach on the Atlantic Ocean, but looking west. No filters for either.
Measurements:
- The Secret Sea base measures 11 by 4-1/4 inches, scored at 5-1/2 inches to make a tent fold card
- After embossing a piece of white cardstock, I trimmed it down to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
- Then I cropped the center out using one of the Everyday Arches dies
- I trimmed the Scenic Coast DSP to 4 by 5-1/4 inches and adhered it to the center of the Secret Sea base
- The white cardstock for the inside of the card measures 4 by 5-1/4 inches
- The 6 by 2-1/2 inch piece of 6″ by 6″ Secret Sea DSP for the envelope flap measures 6 by 2-1/2 inches
- I punched a 1-inch circle from the a coordinating scrap of Secret Sea DSP and ran it through my XYRON create-a-sticker to create the envelope seal
What I Did:
- After cropping the white cardstock with the arches die, I added dimensionals to the back of it
- Then I wrapped white baker’s twine around the white cardstock and tied it in a bow to join the ends
- Carefully adhere the arched frame to the DSP making sure that the ends of the DSP are covered
- Wipe down a scrap of Secret Sea cardstock with the embossing buddy and stamp the sentiment using VersaMark ink
- Cover the ink with white embossing powder and use the heat tool to set it
- Add dimensionals to the back of the sentiment making sure they will straddle the twine and adhere it to the front of the card
- Since the front sentiment can be used for many different occasions, I haven’t stamped the inside sentiment yet
With that I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.
Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!
