Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge # 387 – Colour Challenge

This week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge #387 is a gorgeous Colour Challenge. Take a look at all the calm, cool cards created by our design team and then join the challenge.

As soon as I saw this colour combo I thought of the fantastic Waves of Inspiration stamp set that Stampin’ Up! just released. I paired it up with the limited time only Waves of the Ocean 12X12 DSP and since the beautiful Waves Rhinestones are sold out – I used my dark Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends to colour some of our Basic Rhinestone Jewels.

I love the way those coloured rhinestones sparkle on the card front.

Although you can find the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in our up coming Annual catalogue – the DSP is limited edition and will be going away on May 2nd! Make sure to grab yours now!

You can place an order by contacting me directly or clicking on the image(s) below.

Here are the products I used (except for the not yet released Stylish Shapes Dies – 159183)

I have also created a handy printable recipe card for you.

When you use my host code on an order over $65 I will also send you the link to this fabulous 35 card Tutorial Bundle as a thank you!

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.
