The Ocean of Waves Collection

This is a cool collection!!
Check out this new Ocean of Waves Collection.
 
This is clean & simple.

How did I do it?
  •  Started with a Basic White piece of 3 3/4 x 5" card stock.
  • Added the Wave stamp to my Stamparatus.
  • Inked the Wave stamp in Pacific Point Ink.
  • Then using a sponge dauber I added ink by tapping it directly onto the stamp using Coastal Cabana & Night of Navy ink pads.
  • I used a Blending Brush & Pacific Point ink pad to add color to the sky.
  • Then stamped the words directly onto the card front using Night of Navy ink.
  • The birds are die cut & adhered to the card front.  
I used a piece of 4 x 5 1/4" Night of Navy Foil for my layer.
Notice how I cut out the center of this & can use it for another project.
I layered the Night of Navy Foil rectangle onto a piece of 
Basic White card stock measuring 4 x 5/14".
This is a diagonal easel fun fold.
Here is the pattern on making the diagonal easel fun fold.
4 1/4 x 11"- score at 5 1/2".
Then diagonal score from corner to bottom of center fold score.
I stamped the words onto a strip of Basic White card stock, die cut it out
& added a 1/4 x 3 1/4" strip of Pacific Point card stock through the loops.
It looks like this when opened up.
This is a view of the card looking down onto it.
So what do you think?
It is pretty cool huh!

Here are the supplies & measurements.
stamp set:  'Waves of Inspiration'

  • Pacific Point- 4 1/4 x 11"- score at 5 1/2" & then diagonal score as shown in the pattern above.

Waves of the Ocean Collection

WOW- check out this amazing Waves of the Ocean Collection!!
The Waves of the Ocean DSP is so bright, cheery & has endless possibilities!
Isn't it cool!
This is a fun panel spanner fun fold card.
It looks like this when you start opening it up!
 
NOTE:  I cut 2 Night of Navy strips that measure 7/8" x 5 1/2" each.
One of them gets adhered to the 2 outside panels along the bottom 
front, having it approximately a 1/8" from the bottom of the card- 
so that it matched up evenly with the Basic White CS on the inside of the card.
Then the other Night of Navy strip gets adhered to the back side of the front strip.
This just makes the spanner strip more solid & sturdy.
This is the inside!!
I stamped the words on a strip of Basic White card stock
& die cut it.
I put a 3/4 x 5 1/2" strip of Night of Navy card stock in the loops.
And adhered this all to the inside of the card.
And here is what it looks like standing up!
I love it!

https://stampwithsusie.blogspot.com/2021/10/cutest-halloween-suite-3-weeks-to.html

How did I make the wave?
If you look closely, you can see that I stamped the wave onto the DSP,
using my Night of Navy ink pad & my Stamparatus!
I then used my scissors & cut out along the top & bottom edges of the stamped wave.
I die cut 2 waves from the DSP, using the 2 Wave Dies.
NOTE:  I added Adhesive Sheets onto the strip I used to die cut the waves.
I adhered the 2 die cut waves directly over the solid stamped wave!! 
And this is then adhered to the bottom bar that goes across the card front
for the split spanner.
 
NOTE:  The little birds are stamped directly onto the DSP in Memento Ink.
 
Here are the supplies & measurements.
