Relaxing Waterside Fun-Fold Card--August Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop

Hello! Welcome to our August Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! This month we are creating fun-fold cards! If you've visited my blog before, you may know that these are my favourite type of cards!

 

I used the Relaxing Waterfront bundle (stamps & dies)--one of my favourite bundles! I created a faux centre-step fun-fold card, making a fun-fold version of a card in one of my recent blog posts.

I stamped the chair and book on a piece of Country Woods Designer Series Paper (DSP) and then die-cut them. I also used a strip of Mixed-Up Patterns DSP as a deck.

Azure Afternoon ink was used for both the sky and the water--added with a Blending Brush for the sky, and with a Water Painter for the water. I added Old Olive grass and bull rushes (with Early Espresso tops).

The sentiment was stamped in Blueberry Bushel, and the bird was stamped in Basic Gray ink. I coloured the Rhinestone Basic Jewels with an Azure Afternoon Blends.

I'd love it if you would leave a comment below, if you have a moment. 😊 Be sure to check out my friends' beautiful creations in the blog hop below!!

Relaxing Waterside - June Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop

 

Welcome to our June Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! This month we are creating a card using a Sketch Challenge (see below), which I love doing! 😊 The sketch always helps me out with my design, although you'll notice that I followed it very loosely this time. (Here's a challenge--see what you can see that follows the sketch. 😉)

Here is the sketch we used for our challenge.

I used the Relaxing Waterside Bundle for this card, which I love! This has been an extremely popular suite! 

I stamped the chair and book images onto some Country Woods Designer Series Paper (DSP), and then die cut them. I used a Water Painter, and picked up some Coastal Cabana ink, and painted a wash for the water, and then used a Blending Brush to add some Azure Afternoon ink to the background for the sky. 

I stamped the seagull and the sentiment (which was die cut with a Stylish Shapes Die). I die cut the bullrushes, and added all of the pieces to the background. (Did you notice that those last three elements were in place of the three flowers?) I added some Shimmering Dots and Linen Thread (ha!--a regulation element! 😉) to finish the card. 

Check out the Relaxing Waterside Bundle here!

Say Hello to the NEW 2026-2028 In Colors! May Coast to Coast Blog Hop

Hello! Welcome to our May Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop! This month we are celebrating our new 2026-2028 In Color products!

 

Our NEW In Colors are Barely Blush, Crisp Cantaloupe, Golden Glow, Hydrangea Hue, and Peaceful Pine. I love all of them, and decided to use all five to create my card. This is actually a really quick and easy card to make!

I used a 1" mask made with a piece of Stampin' Masking Paper to make the sun. With Blending Brushes, I added just a touch of Golden Glow, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Barely Blush in circles around the sun. Then I added a strip of Masking Paper over the sky and added Hydrangea Hue to the bottom of the card as water. The Peaceful Pine sailboat was die cut using the Coastal Scene Bundle, as were the Hydrangea Hue and Night of Navy waves, and the Night of Navy birds. (This bundle, with the rest of the suite, is what we are using in our upcoming Scenic Coast Online MEGA Stamp Camp. See my previous post for all details about it!)

I adhered my card front to a Peaceful Pine mat, and then to a Hydrangea Hue card base. I embellished the card with three 2026-2028 In Color Dots.

The sentiment was stamped on a Stylish Shapes Banner in Night of Navy ink, and added to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I'd love it if you would leave a comment below, if you have a moment. 😊 Be sure to check out my friends' beautiful creations in the blog hop below!!
