Oceanfront Fun-Fold Thank You Card

Our Oceanfront photopolymer stamp set is the ultimate "simple stamping" go-to set! You can create beautiful scenes, and, because it's a "Distinktive™" stamp set which has a special texture, it gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating images that are photo-realistic.


If you are wondering about the Tahitian Tide rhinestones, I just coloured our regular rhinestones with Tahitian Tide Blends--awesome idea, hey?

Full Directions for My Oceanfront Fun-Fold Thank You Card:
  1. Cut the following layers:
    • Blueberry Bushel cardstock: 4-1/4" x 11", cut and scored as in the video tutorial
    • Basic White cardstock: 2-5/8" x 4-3/8"; 5/8" x 4-3/8" (two of these for side panels); 4-1/8" x 7/8" (for sentiment); 4" x 4-1/4" (for inside)
  2. Score and burnish card base as shown in video tutorial (also see diagram below).  
  3. Stamp centre panel, overlapping each slightly: sky in Balmy Blue, water in Tahitian Tide, and sand in Crumb Cake. Stamp birds (from Waves of Inspiration) in Basic Gray.
  4. Stamp side panels, moving sky, etc. up one inch higher, so they match the centre panel (because of the way the card folds). You will need to stamp the sand in two or three parts.
  5. Stamp short grasses in Old Olive, and tall grasses in Mossy Meadow. Stamp side panels, as well.
  6. Add texture to sand with Crumb Cake.
  7. Cut 12" of white twine, and colour it with the Tahitian Tide Blends. Wrap around the centre panel and tie into a bow. Adhere centre and side panels to card base.
  8. Stamp sentiment (from Dainty Delight) in Blueberry Bushel; adhere to bottom of card front.
  9. Use Tahitian Tide Blends to colour three Rhinestone Basic Jewels, and add to card front.
