By the Seashore and Tide – Stampin’ Up Card Tutorial #581

Hello There,

I woke up this morning to a layer of ice covering everything outside.  I thought with the ice age going on outside I would stay snug in my craftroom and stamp something totally not winter related, lol.

Today’s card tutorial, below, features the emboss resist technique and two Stampin’ Up! ocean related sets By the Tide and By the Seashore.  These sets work great together.

Now on with today’s tutorial. . . . .  . .

Project Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up!  By the Tide (129120) and By the Seashore (126532)

Card Stock: Stampin’ Up! Whisper White, River Rock and Chocolate Chip

Ink: Stampin’ Up! Basic Black, Soft Suede and Chocolate Chip

Accessories: Stampin’ Up! sponges, Versamark pad, markers (River Rock and Soft Suede), silver brads, clear embossing powder, heat gun, 1 3/8″ and 1 1/4″ square punches

Started with a 4.5″ square Whisper White card stock.  Stamped the coral stamp from the By the Tide set in each corner of the card stock with Versamark.  Heat embossed the images using clear embossing powder and a heat gun.

 

Sponged Soft Suede ink all over the card stock and wiped the embossed images off with a paper towel.

Sponged Chocolate Chip ink in the corner of the card stock and then wiped the ink off of the embossed images with a paper towel.

Stamped the starfish from the By the Seashore set on River Rock card stock using Soft Suede ink.

Cut the starfish out and colored the tips River Rock and the dots and edges using Soft Suede.

Cut a 5.25″ square card stock panel out of River Rock.  Sponged Basic Black ink on the edges of the main image panel and the River Rock panel.

Punched two 1 3/8″ squares from River Rock and two 1 1/4″ Chocolate Chip squares.

Cut one River Rock and one Chocolate Chip squares in half.

Added a Whisper White card base, 4.75″ square Chocolate Chip panel and silver brads.

Here is the finished card measuring 5.25″ square.

May your day be warm and safe.
