I needed a birthday card for a man who loves the rugged outdoors. What more perfect set for that than Waterfront?!
A simple layout – a Tranquil Tide base card, Wood Textures DSP cut at 2″x5-1/2″, a 1/4″ strip of Early Espresso across the middle, then the art piece.
I used the sentiment from Sweet Serenade in Espresso. The scene pulled together with Crumb Cake, Tranquil Tide, Espresso, and So Saffron.
I stamped the scene onto a 2-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ piece of Whisper White, then I layered it with Early Espresso, probably 1/8″ larger on all sides. I never actually measure the layers, just hold it together and cut a little bigger! (I know, very scientific!)
Quick and simple today, since it is Christmas Eve! I want to wish you all a very beautiful and blessed Christmas!

Stunning card. Paper color choices are spot on and you choices of ink colors are so complimentary.
Thank you, Sharon!
I love your card! I like how you used the Tranquil Tide, Wood Textures DSP, and the little strip of Early Espresso paper to make it really stand out. That background behind your pretty stamped piece really makes this card unique. I love it!! Great work and use of colors!
Thanks so much, Laurie!

A perfect masculine card. I’ve been looking at the Waterfront stamp set and will have to get it. Wishing you and yours a very happy holidays!
Thank you, Nancy! Happy New Year! I hope to see you soon!
Yep, another fantastic card. I haven’t really played with this stamp set and your card has encouraged me to pull it out and replicate it maybe in January. It is so serene and pretty it is meant to be shared. Happy holidays to you and your family!
I love this stamp set, Chris! Did you get yours out yet? Once you start playing with it, you find so many things you can do with it. Fun!
Another fantastic card Karen!
Thanks, MA!
