Boho Beach Kit

August 31, 2023August 31, 2023 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

Today is the last day of the Kit Sale, with discounts up to 30% off. I usually purchase one or two kits a year and as soon as the Boho Beach Kit was introduced I purchased it right away. I think it is one of the most beautiful kits we have ever had. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, being a Pisces, I’m drawn to beach and ocean-themed images! In all the years I’ve been a demonstrator, I never held a kit class until this kit came out and everyone loved it! We made two cards as shown in the kit instructions and then made three additional cards showing alternative options for making the cards using elements of the kit and combining them with different stamp sets, dies and papers.

The next three cards are the alternative versions I designed.

For this card I used a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock cut at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ for the base and cut down one of the cards in the kit to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″, adhering it to the card front. I used another card front to die cut a 3″ circle. Stamp the large shell from the Season of Chic stamp set with Lost Lagoon ink and run through die cutting machine with coordinating Chic die. The smaller shells were die cut from a piece of Lost Lagoon Soft Shimmer Paper. The bow was made from a piece of Wild Wheat Jute Trim that I separated into one strand.

Cut a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ for the card base. Cut a piece of Pool Party cardstock at 4″ x 4 1/2″. Cut the front of a card base at 1 1/2″ x 3 3/4″. Cut apart one of the envelopes and trim it down to 3 3/4 x 3 1/4″. Die cut edge of the envelope piece with the torn edge die from the Seaside Bay dies and adhere to the card base. Stamp the large and small bird images from the Seaside Bay stamp set and color with Pretty Peacock, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends. Cut with Seaside Bay dies. Stamp grass and sand images from stamp set with Pecan Pie and Wild Wheat ink. Adhere birds to card front, adhere to Pool Party cardstock, and adhere piece to white card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp greeting from kit.

Use one of the card bases from the kit. Adhere umbrella, leaf and bench from kit. Stamp greeting from the Paradise Palms stamp set with Pecan Pie ink and run through die cutting machine using the hexagon die from the Something Fancy dies. This set is now retired but it is one I won’t part with because of the wonderful greetings in the set, which are perfect for these cards! Cut a length of the linen thread and wrap it around twice, adhere to card and adhere stamped greeting with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using a small piece of Distressed Gold Specialty Paper, run through die cutting machine using several different shells from the Chic die set.

These are close-up photos of the two cards shown in the kit instructions.

I used Wink of Stella on all of the cards and assorted embellishments for some extra summertime glitz!

Seaside Bay Diorama Card

March 9, 2023March 8, 2023 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

Today’s card is a Seaside Bay Diorama Card, which uses products from the beautiful By the Bay Suite. As soon as I saw this in the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog I knew it would be the first thing I purchased in my pre-order! The Designer Series Paper is absolutely stunning! When I saw the DSP with the fish design I thought it would work great with the Layering Diorama Dies.

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – Cut a piece of Coastal Cabana at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of the fish paper from the By the Bay Designer Series Paper at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Adhere to card base.
Cut a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and run through die cutting machine with the fourth largest die from the Layering Diorama Dies.
Cut a coordinating piece of paper from the By the Bay Designer Series Paper at 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and run through die cutting machine with the third largest die from the Layering Diorama Dies.
Place the Coastal Cabana die cut piece over the fish DSP and then place the die cut DSP over it. Turn the pieces in different directions until you get a design you like. I wanted to show off as much of the fish as possible and liked how it looked with the Coastal Cabana piece turned the way I decided on. Adhere Coastal Cabana piece to the fish DSP. Adhere the die cut DSP piece to front of card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used a lot of them in order to create a 3D look.

Cut a piece of a Gold Foil Sheet at 2 1/2″ x 3″ and run through die cutting machine with the shell die from the Seaside Bay Dies. Fold along score lines and adhere to card.
Cut a piece of Petal Pink cardstock at 2″ square. Stamp greeting from the Paradise Palms stamp set with Soft Suede ink and run through die cutting machine with the shell die from the Chic Dies. Adhere to card, tucking the bottom into the bottom of the Coastal Cabana die cut piece.
Cut a piece of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon at 5″, fold in half and adhere in between the gold and Petal Pink shells. Trim ends.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp the large clam image with Coastal Cabana ink in right bottom corner. Adhere to inside of card. Adhere a large Flat Adhesive Pearl to the clam.

Wonderful World Card

August 26, 2022August 25, 2022 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

Today’s card features the Wonderful World Stamp set and coordinating Designer Series Paper, another Sale-A-Bration free gift you can earn with a $100 purchase. This is a lovely set of products and the colors of the DSP are right up my alley – pinks, purples and greens!

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – cut a piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut one piece each of Melon Mambo and Pear Pizzazz cardstock at 3 1/4″ x 4″ each. Cut two pieces of Wonderful World Designer Series Paper at 3 1/8″ x 3 7/8″ and adhere to cardstock pieces. Adhere to card front.

Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 2 3/4″ x 3 1/2″. Use the direct to rubber technique and Stampin’ Write Markers to color the large floral image stamp from the Wonderful World stamp set. Color the top flower with Flirty Flamingo, larger flower with Melon Mambo and stems with Mossy Meadow. Huff on the stamp to reactivate the ink and stamp onto the piece of white cardstock. This is a Distinktive stamp which is made to create realistic shading on the image, so there will be areas of light and dark.
Stamp greeting with Mossy Meadow ink at bottom of card. I used the birthday greeting from the Pansy Patch stamp set. Adhere to card front. Embellish with a few Melon Mambo dots from the Glossy Dots Assortment.

Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Use the large floral image stamp and color the top flower with Flirty Flamingo and the top part of the stem with Mosy Meadow. Stamp in bottom left corner and adhere to inside of card.
