It has been so bitterly cold here reaching 30 below at one point. And it looks like it’s been unseasonably cold in many parts of the US recently. So of course many of us are pretty relieved that temps are coming back to normal again. In our household we are dreaming of our upcoming rescheduled Stampin’ Up! incentive trip that is still in the plans to take place in May. And we are ALL going – me, my husband, AND our two boys, Nick and Luke. We are ready for warmth, sand, sunshine, and the ocean.
So I pulled out the Sand & Sea Suite of products and created a couple cards that were inspired by the layout of Kristie Strum’s swap card (hers was the second card that I shared on Monday’s post). I just love how the strip of designer paper peeks out on the right. Thanks Kristie!

Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
Seaside Spray or Blushing Bride Cardstock: 7-1/2” x 5-1/2” scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4”
Vellum Cardstock: 3” x 5-1/4”

Champagne or Brass Foil Sheets: Scrap for die-cutting stitched circle
Night of Navy or Mango Melody Cardstock: Scrap for punching 2” circle
Sand & Sea Designer Paper: 1” x 5-1/4”
Directions
Emboss vellum, stamp and punch sentiment piece, die-cut foil circle, punch cardstock circle, and stamp inside white layer.
Attach vellum to the front with just a bit of Seal under where the sentiment layer will sit. Add the punched circle, then the die-cut circle, then the punched sentiment (on Dimensionals). Attach the white and the designer paper strip to the inside. These pieces will meet but not overlap.
Add a coordinating sticker on the inside where the punched circle. Add Opal Rounds to the front. Then lift up the vellum and add Glue Dots under the Opal Rounds to adhere the vellum to the card base a bit more.

As promised during my YouTube Live on Wednesday, today I have for you photos, measurements, and product lists for those two Sand & Sea cards I shared: my faker shaker and my angled corner layer card. If you didn’t catch the YouTube Live broadcast, click here to watch the recording. In it I first show how to make the butterfly shaker card that I posted on my blog on Wednesday. But I also explain the steps of these two cards shown in the photos below. (If you are already on my blog post, you can just click on the image below to view the video.)

During my first of two box opening videos for the new publications – click here to view this first one (click here to view the second), I presented a shaker card that I had assembled right away with some of the new products. Many of you had then requested that I demonstrate this project. I’m so glad you liked it!
I just showed live on YouTube about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this faker shaker card using the Floating & Fluttering Stamp Set, Fluttering Dies, the You Are Amazing Stamp Set, and the Oh So Ombre Designer Paper. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.

Blending Brushes have been available in the crafting world for awhile. And now Stampin’ Up! will have them in their offering of new products starting January 5th (this Tuesday)!! Yippee! I demonstrated them briefly on white cardstock that I had embossed with the Painted Texture embossing folder in this Box Opening video (around the 56 minute mark) that aired on November 9th, but I never shared what I came up with for the finished card until today. (Click here to view the video if you are not seeing it below.)
I added in the Art Gallery Stamp Set and coordinating Floral Gallery Dies along with some heat embossed White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon to make this congrats card.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements
White cardstock
11” x 4-1/4” scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2”
5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
Scraps for stamping and die-cutting flowers and leaves
Basic Black Cardstock
Scrap for die-cutting sentiment piece
Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon
13″
Directions
Emboss the 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ white with the embossing folder. Then use the Blending Brushes to color the surface. (Watch the Box Opening video for tips and techniques if needed.)
Stamp and die-cut the flowers and leaves.
Die-cut the black cardstock for the sentiment piece. Stamp the sentiment with VersaMark ink. Sprinkle on the white powder. Tap off the excess. Then heat emboss.
Adhere the sentiment to the largest flower. Hold this flower where you’d like it be, then adhere the other flower and leaf pieces while you tuck them under and around the large flower.
Wrap around and tie on the ribbon. Tie it in a knot and trim the ends.
Add the large flower/sentiment piece with Dimensionals.
Then add this layer to the front of the white card base using Dimensionals.

Here is a card that features a peek at some new products that will be available on January 5th: the You Are Amazing Stamp Set and the Flower & Field Designer Paper.
It may look complicated, but the cuts and measurements are quite fun. I simply cut the bottom half off the front layer of the card base, rotated it and added it as a top layer!
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
PDF Tutorial…Click here to access and download a printable direction sheet.
Measurements
Real Red Cardstock: 11” x 4-1/4” scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2” then cut off half of the front (2-3/4” x 4-1/4”)… and a scrap for punching flower
Flower & Field Designer Paper: 4” x 5-1/4” cut into two pieces by cutting 2-1/2” from the top
Whisper White Cardstock: 2-1/2” x 4” (two pieces)
All the Trimmings Ribbon: one 4” piece of each color
Vellum Cardstock: 2-1/2” x 4”
Directions
Cut all the pieces using the measurements above.
Punch the flower and use a Bone Folder to curl the petals upward slightly.
Add one of the Whisper White layers and the bottom designer paper layer to the inside of the card base as shown in the photo above. Add the top designer paper layer to the front. (The designer paper patterns should appear to flow together.)
Stamp the sentiment image onto the other Whisper White layer leaving room at the top for the embellishments. (I made multiples of these cards and used my Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment. This allowed me to not only put the image in the same place each time, but I also could stamp it more than once to get a nice dark image.)
Layer this onto the Real Red Cardstock layer, wrap the ribbon diagonally across the top securing in the back with adhesive.
Put more adhesive across the back so it’s just on the top half. Place the vellum on top of the upper designer paper layer (do not adhere yet) and hold it in place. Then attach the sentiment layer piece onto the front so that it attaches to the vellum. Lift these pieces up, add more adhesive to the back of the vellum only where the cardstock is attached, and then add this whole piece back on the card.
Add the flower with a Glue Dot or two. Then add a Gold Glitter Enamel Dot to the center.
