Waves of the Ocean Accordion Card

I love the ocean and all things that remind of tropical places and even our own ocean here in BC. So when Stampin’ Up! released this Waves of the Ocean Collection I had to have it.

This card was created using the full collection. You will want to grab yours NOW. The stamp set and dies are an early release from the upcoming Annual Catalogue, however the DSP, foils and rhinestones are limited time only while supplies last.

As a special bonus – when you order the full collection from me you get free access to my upcoming Waves of the Ocean Stamp Camp that i am holding with a couple of stamping friends – Ange McKay and Lori Willcox. (*if you are a demo, or you live outside of Canada – we have option for you too!) See all the details here: https://form.jotform.com/leahdixon41/waves-of-the-ocean-stamp-camp

This card is a very fun fold, perfect for showing off DSP. Here is what it looks like all opened up. See below for dimensions and a video of how I created the card.

The dimensions for the card pieces are:

Night of Navy card base – 5-1/2″ X 4-1/4″

Waves of the Ocean DSP – 5-1/4″ X 11″, scored at 1-3/4″, 3-1/2″, 5-1/4″ and 7″

Blushing Bride CS – 7″ X 3-1/2″, scored at 3-1/2″

Blue Foils – 3 of 3-1/4″ X 3-1/4″

Basic White – 3 of 3″X 3″, plus scraps for sentiment and bird image.

Here is the video explaining exactly how I put it all together.

New Horizons DSP Cards

This week I am featuring the absolutely stunning and versatile New Horizons 6X6 DSP. This paper really does steal the show – just add a sentiment and you have a gorgeous card in a jiffy!

I embossed a sentiment from the FREE SAB Stamp Set – Special Moments on a label created using the soon to be released Waves Dies. To add some interest to the cardstock on the card front I used blending brushes and a mask to add a bit of subtle colour on colour design.

I even used the mask to decorate the inside of the card and the envelope. To see how I created this card watch my video below.

Awesome Otters Cards

I remember taking my kids to the Vancouver Aquarium when they were younger and spending hours watching the playful otters. We would eat our lunch there on nice days and laugh at their antics.

Sale-a-bration ends Feb 28th, 2022 so don’t wait.

I stamped the images with the FREE SAB stamp set – Awesome Otters and used the FREE SAB Simply Marbleous DSP as my background.
