SEASIDE VIEW RETIREMENT CARD!

 Hi, Friends,

Just wanted to check in today and share with you a card I made recently.  It is a retirement card, but the sentiment could easily be changed to whatever you needed.  However, I liked the chair stamp for a retirement card--it evokes images of sitting by the beach, listening to the waves with a cold drink beside you and a good book to read!  

MY RECIPE:

     STAMPS:  Seaside View, Itty Bitty Greetings

     CARDSTOCK:

          Crumb Cake:  5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4

          Misty Moonlight:  4 x 5-1/4

          Boho Indigo DSP:  3-7/8 x 3-7/8

          Boho Indigo DSP:  1-1/2 x 3-7/8

          SCRAPS:  Very Vanilla, Misty Moonlight, Crumb Cake

          INSIDE:

               Misty Moonlight:  3-3/4 x 5

               Very Vanilla:  3-5/8 x 4-7/8

     INK:  Misty Moonlight

     ACCESSORIES:  Stitched Shapes Dies, Circles Layering Dies, Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Misty Moonlight 2020-2021 In-Color Ribbon, Linen Thread, Metallic Pearls, Dimensionals

The inside of the card looks like this:

HOW I MADE IT:

1.  Use Misty Moonlight ink to stamp signature stamp on back of card base.

2.  Stamp trees on lower right corner of inside panel using Misty Moonlight ink.  

3.  Adhere inside cardstock panels together; adhere to inside of card base.

4.  Adhere Boho Indigo DSP to Misty Moonlight cardstock panel; adhere Misty Moonlight ribbon at "seam" of DSP.  Tie Linen Thread around the ribbon.  Adhere to front of card base.

5.  Use Misty Moonlight ink to stamp chair and bird images onto scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock.  TIP:  I put both the chair and the bird images onto one clear stamp and stamped them at the same time.  Use Stitched Shapes Dies and Stampin' Up! Die Cut Machine to cut out the circle.

6.  Cut out a scalloped circle from a scrap of Misty Moonlight cardstock using the Circles Layering Dies and Stampin' Up! Die Cut Machine.  

7.  Adhere the stamped Very Vanilla circle to the Misty Moonlight scalloped circle.

8.  Stamp sentiment onto scrap of Crumb Cake cardstock using Misty Moonlight ink.  Cut out using die from Stitched So Sweetly Dies and Stampin' Up! Die Cut Machine.  

9.  Adhere sentiment to scalloped circle panel.

10.  Attach the scalloped circle panel to the front of the card base using dimensionals.

11.  Add Metallic Pearls to sentiment die cut (see sample for placement).

In case you are looking for the Boho Indigo DSP, look on page 9 of the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.  It is part of the Boho Indigo Product Medley.  The Product Medley comes with a stamp set, die cuts, DSP, ribbon and other embellishments.  However, if you don't want all of that product, the Refill Kit (153925 $23.00) includes the DSP as well as some of the embellishments included in the larger kit.  It is a beautiful paper!

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you enjoyed the card I have shared with you.  Hope to be back soon with another awesome project!

Happy stamping,

Linda
