We have a brand-new suite called Waves of the Ocean, and it is gorgeous!! I love creating with these products--the results are stunning!! Although the Waves of Inspiration stamp set and the Waves dies will be in our upcoming Annual Catalogue, the Waves of the Ocean Designer Series Paper (DSP), Blue Foils Specialty Paper, and Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels are available only while supplies last. I really don't foresee them lasting long! So, if you love these products as much as I do, don't wait to order them! If you live in Canada and don't have a demonstrator, I'd love to be your Stampin' Up! demonstrator!

I had fun making this Z-fold card! I layered the wave die cuts, glued them to a piece of DSP, and then fussy cut the wave. I stamped the pelican in Smoky Slate, then coloured it and the pilings using Stampin' Blends. I used Post-it notes to mask the pelican, cover the sky and make a hill of sand, which I coloured with Crumb Cake and Sahara Sand using a Blending Brush, adding some texture with a stamp from Oceanfront. The sky was also inked with Blending Brushes. Full directions are below.

I masked the sand, pelican, and sun before applying ink
to the sky with Blending Brushes. (Step #4)

• Basic White cardstock: 5-1/4" x 4" (for back)
2. Stamp the pelican in Smoky Slate. Colour the pilings with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends, and colour the pelican in Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends. 
3. Cut a Post-it note to cover the sky and form the sandbank, and to mask the pilings and pelican (stamp on the Post-it note, and then cut out the shape). Apply ink to Shimmery White piece (Crumb Cake at top, then Sahara Sand) with a Blending Brush, and then stamp some texture (from Oceanfront) in Sahara Sand. Stamp the grasses in Mossy Meadow and Old Olive.
4. Remove the sky Post-it notes (keep the pelican/pilings note attached) and cover the sand with "negative" of the sky Post-it notes. Cut a 1" circle (sun) from a Post-it note, and add to sky. Use Blending Brush to apply ink (Daffodil Delight, Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia, Pool Party, Balmy Blue, and Pacific Point) in overlapping circles around the sun, filling in all of the sky (except pelican and pilings, which should be masked). Stamp "You're so totally awesome" sentiment 5-7/8" from left edge in Pacific Point and birds (from On the Horizon and Waves of Inspiration) in Basic Grey. Add another Post-it note, covering the sky, at the water line. Apply Coastal Cabana ink to water with Blending Brush, and then stamp with wave stamp in second generation (stamped-off) Pacific Point. Remove note from sun, and apply a small amount of Daffodil Delight ink to the white circle.
5. Stamp "Thanks" sentiment in Pacific Point on Coastal Cabana strip, die cut with label die. Thread 1/4" strip of Pacific Point through hole, cut banner edge, and adhere to label. Cut left edge of label, and add to card front with Dimensionals.
6. Adhere the wave die cuts to the DSP. Fussy cut the wave. Score only the bottom part of the wave 2-1/2" from the left edge. Score the Shimmery White at 2-1/2" and 5-1/4". Adhere to the to card front, being sure NOT to adhere the top of the wave to the Shimmery White. Adhere layers together, and gently burnish folds.
7. Add three Rhinestones Waves Basic Jewels.
8. Adhere Basic White cardstock to back of card for hand-written sentiment.
