Seaside Bay Diorama Card

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

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.

Friendly Hello

Hello! Today’s card features the Friendly Hello stamp set and coordinating Designer Series Paper that you can earn for free with a $100 purchase during Sale-A-Bration. This is such a sweet stamp set and the DSP designs are soft and pretty. The card layout is one I frequently use, usually in landscape, however, I chose to do this card in portrait because it looked much better this way as I was designing the card!

Here is how I made the card.

  • Card base – cut a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
  • Cut a piece of Pool Party cardstock at 4″ x 4″ square. Cut a piece of the striped paper from the Friendly Hello DSP at 3 7/8″ x 3 7/8″ square and adhere to Pool Party cardstock.
  • Cut a length of Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon and tie in a bow around the Pool Party Piece. Adhere to card base.
  • Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″ and run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the next to largest die from the Scalloped Contours Dies.
  • Stamp the bird image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the bird with the light and dark Pool Party Stampin’ Blends. Color the flowers with the light and dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends. Color the leaf stem with the light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend.
  • Stamp the greeting below the bird image with Fresh Freesia ink.
  • Adhere die cut piece to card front. Add an Irridescent Rhinestone to the center of each flower.
  • For the inside of the card, cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. I used the birthday greeting from the set and stamped it with Fresh Freesia ink. Stamp the small floral image in the bottom left corner and color with Stampin’ Blends. Adhere to inside of card.
