Seaside Cards

Hi Crafty Friends!! 

It has been so long since I've posted any artwork on my blog! I've had a very busy month and my poor finger has been causing me some issues too. I've had a hard time designing and crafting with an injured finger! It still causing me some pain but the time off this month has helped! I'm hoping to get back to designing soon! But for now, here are some fun cards I designed last month that I would like to share with you! I've had many ask for the supply list and cricut sizes. I created these pretty cards for my August Creative Club . They will make 3 cards of each of 3 designs. I really love this paper! So sad to see it retire next month! 

These are standard size cards 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".

The sail boat card was embossed in white and sponged with Desert Sand ink.

Everything was sponged in Desert Sand ink.

For the sponging on the cards I cut my sponge in quarters. I then take an elastic and wrap around the end so that it looks like a ball. I dab in ink and sponge lightly to get the color effect I want. 

I love to 3-D my images by using CTMH 3-D foam tape. It gives it more of a popped out look!

I would like to share a fun birthday card I just finished today! This is one of the three cards that my customers will make in August. I have been so excited to finally be able to play with Seaside! I

love, love, love this paper! Did mention I

love this paper? Lol  

The coloring is all sponged. I used Sorbet, Glacier, and Desert Sand and used a round sponge and sponge daubers to get this color effect.

This card is 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". I stamped the lighthouse in Desert Sand. I used Sorbet and a sponge dauber and sponged lightly across the top of the lighthouse. I took another sponge dauber and sponged above the sorbet using Glacier ink. I also stamped some clouds at the top in Glacier ink. Take your round sponge and cut it into four pieces. Take a wedge and sponge Desert Sand over the sand and fence. I like to use a circular motion to get the effect I want.

This stamp set is perfect to use our CTMH sponges! Have fun trying them out! Be sure you visit again soon! My other two cards designs and layouts will be coming soon! 

Happy Creating!
