Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful week. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend. It’s starting to warm up a little bit here. It’s still pretty cool for this time of the year. I’m usually planting my flowers and vegetables by now, but the nights are still a little too cool.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #227 is Seaside Adventures. I made a Fun Fold Shadow Box card for you. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sunset Coast Bundle and the Scenic Coast 6 x 6 Specialty Designer Series Paper for my Fun Fold Shadow Box card today. I was inspired by the overall theme along with the sailboat in the photo for my Clean & Layered Card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 227.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Wrap a piece of Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine around the scored end 2 times. Thread the baker’s twine through a Loose Anchor Trinket and tie a knot. Adhere the scored end to the back of the card base.

Adhere a pane of Scenic Coast DSP to the front of the card base. Using the Sunset Coast Dies, cut the center of the scored Night of Navy panel. Stamp the bottom of the panel with the water image from the Sunset Coast stamp set in Versamark Ink. Sprinkle the image with Clear Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. Using the Sunset Coast Dies, cut 2 clouds from a panel of Basic White. Cut one of the clouds in half using paper Snips. Adhere the clouds to the top of the card front.

Fold the ends of the card front panel and adhere it to the card front with Tear & Tape. Stamp the sentiment from the Sunset Coast stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. Cut the sentiment out using Paper Snips. Adhere the sentiment to the card front with Stampin Dimensionals.

Stamp the sentiment from the Sunset Coast stamp set in Night of Navy Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the water image from the Sunset Coast stamp set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the bottom of the panel. Stamp the larger sailboat image from the Sunset Coast stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Misty Moonlight mat then to the inside of the Night of Navy card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish your card. Stamp the water image from the Sunset Coast stamp set in Night of Navy Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front. Stamp the larger boat image from the Sunset Coast stamp set in Night of Navy Ink. Adhere a panel of Scenic Coast DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
