Notes & Totes Warm Wishes

Here we are, in the middle of Winter, and we are given a color challenge that reminds me of the beach! So for Create with Stamping Friends this week, I’ve used Notes & Totes Warm Wishes!

Here’s the color challenge:

And here’s my warm, beachy card:

Can you feel the sunshine on the warm sand? Mmmm…Hawaii perhaps? I feel warmer just looking at it! 😎

Materials, Measurements, & Techniques:

• Thick Basic White Cardstock for the base, 11″x 4-1/4″, folded at 5-1/2″
• Balmy Blue Cardstock layer, 5-1/4″x 4″
• Basic White layer, 4″ long x 3-7/8″ wide
  • With a Blending Brush, I brushed Peach Pie ink on the lower half and Balmy Blue on the top half.
  • Next I stamped the greeting from Notes & Totes in Secret Sea ink.
  • I cut a Peach Pie sun into a 2-2/3″ circle and glued it to the lower right side.
  • I then glued the panel to the Balmy Blue layer, centering it on the two sides and the top.
• Crumb Cake Cardstock for “sand”, three 1-3/4″x 3-7/8″ strips.
  • I tore the tops off the three strips to look like sandy mounds and glued them to the card front as shown.
• Peach Pie Cardstock scraps for sea creatures from Notes & Totes Dies, 3 starfish and 1 conch shell
  • To two of the starfish, I brushed a bit of Poppy Parade ink. To the conch shell I brushed a bit of Poppy Parade and a bit of Balmy Blue. I left the third starfish plain Peach Pie Cardstock.
• Three Pearlized Faceted Circles for sparkle

I can’t wait to see what the other team members made with these three colors! Click here to go to Create with Stamping Friends.
