Hello!

Today’s card features the Notes & Totes Dies. We made two different cards in my latest class and this is one of them. I’ll be posting the other one later this week. This is such a fun set of dies to work with! I enjoyed playing with them and my customers had fun putting the cards together as well.

Measurements

• Misty Moonlight cardstock – cut one piece at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ for card base; one piece at 1 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ for bag strips and bottom; one piece at 2″ x 2 1/2″ for bag handle
• Basic White cardstock – one piece at 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ for card front; one piece at 4 x 5 1/4″ for inside; scrap pieces for water bottle and sunglasses
• Crumb Cake cardstock – 1 1/2″ x 4 1/8″ for sand
• Strawberry Slush cardstock – scrap piece for sunglasses and triangular bag decoration
• Basic Beige cardstock – scrap piece for sea shells
• Country Lace Designer Series Paper – 4″ x 5″ – use sheet that looks like denim
• 2025-2027 In Color Designer Series Paper – 1 1/2″ x 2 1/4″

Here’s how I made the card.

• Score Misty Moonlight card base at 4 1/2″, fold and crease with bone folder.
• Tear across the top of the Crumb Cake cardstock. Stamp speckles with Crumb Cake ink. Use any stamp set you own that has a speckles stamp.
• On the piece of Basic White cardstock for the card front, use Balmy Blue ink and Lemon Lolly ink and blending brushes to create the water and sun background. Adhere Crumb Cake sand piece to bottom of background piece.
• Stamp greeting with Misty Moonlight ink in left top corner of card. I used one of my most favorite beach-themed greetings from Paradise Palms, a retired stamp set that I will never get rid of!
• Run DSP piece through die cutting machine. Cut off the small tab at the bottom of the bag. Crease all score lines with bone folder. Fold up the bottom and outer sides of bag and adhere with liquid glue.
• Adhere piece of Adhesive Sheet to Misty Moonlight cardstock for bag strips and and bottom and die cut. Run bag handle through die cutting machine with the 2″ x 2 1/2″ piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock.
• Die cut scarf with the In Color DSP Strawberry Slush striped paper.
• Die cut sunglass lenses and triangular bag decoraton. Adhere piece of Adhesive Sheet to a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock and die cut sunglass frame. Adhere frame to lenses.
• Die cut water bottle with scrap piece of Basic White cardstock. Stamp small flowers randomly around bottle with Strawberry Slush ink. I used a flower from the Layers of Beauty stamp set, which worked perfectly. Any other small flower stamps would work too! Adhere water bottle handle to top of water bottle with thin line of liquid glue on the side of the top. Color top and handle with dark Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Blend.
• Die cut shells from Basic Beige scrap piece.
• Adhere bag strips, bottom and handle to bag. Adhere scarf to left side of bag handle. Adhere sunglasses to right side of bag handle. Adhere triangular decoration to center of bag.
• To adhere bag to card base, pop it up with Stampin Dimensionals, placing one or two at bottom of bag, three across the middle, leaving the top of the bag open. To adhere water bottle, use glue dots or liquid glue on back of bottle and slide into top of bag opening on right side of bag.
• Adhere shells around sand. Embellish triangular bag decoration with Strawberry Slush gem.
• Adhere 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock to inside of card and stamp greeting of your choice or leave blank.
