On The Ocean: Trip Achiever Blog Hop

I am always on the lookout for a great masculine stamp set or bundle. When I first saw the On The Ocean set I envisioned fun cards made for little boys and scrapbook layouts too! But then when I started to use it I soon realized that this stamp set could be used for anyone and for so many occasions. The card that I am sharing in the blog hop today is the card that I made for all of my Birdsnest Stampers team members this month. Each month I send all of the demonstrators on my team a card and the ‘bits’ for our team creative challenge. It’s so much fun to make and send all of these cards each month. I have added 8 new demonstrators to my team this year already!! If you would like to become a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and join our Birdsnest Stampers team NOW is the best time!

Let’s Make It!

• Start with a Gray Granite card base 4-1/4 x 11″ scored at 5-1/2
• Adhere a 3″ strip of the Balmy Blue with white diagonal stripes Dandy Designs DSP across the center of the card front
• On a 3 x 4-1/4 piece of Basic White stamp the two clouds with Gray Granite ink, the birds with Night of Navy ink and the waves at the bottom with Balmy Blue ink
• Attach the stamped piece to a 3-1/4 x 4-1/2 layer of Night of Navy cardstock and attach to the card front just a little left of centered
• Stamp ‘You Are A Treasure’ with Night of Navy ink on to a 3/4 x 2-1/2 piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and flag the right end using the Banners Pick A Punch
• Adhere the banner to the card mid way between the clouds and waves using Stampin’ Dimensionals
• On a separate piece of Basic White cardstock stamp the pirate ship with Night of Navy ink and die cut with the coordinating die in the On The Ocean die set
• Adhere the pirate ship to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals being sure to cover the left end of the banner with the ship
• For the inside of the card I stamped two clouds with Gray Granite ink and birds with Night of Navy ink on the top part of a 4 x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White then attached to the inside if the card
