Stalked Ya Til You Liked Me

Hello The Rabbit Hole Designs fans!  Maria here again on the blog with you with a super funny (or creepy?) card, showcasing the Beach Day and Sassy Sentiment stamp sets.





Here's how I made the card:
  • stamp the images on Neenah solar white card stock and color the images in with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers (or any medium of your choice).
  • cut the images using Brother Scan N Cut 2.
  • to create the water, I used a scene building stamp.  I also used a clouds stencil to create the clouds on the background.
  • on another A2 size panel, use a die to cut the window.  Use an embossing folder to emboss this piece.
  • use a palm tree die to die-cut the coconut tree on smooth white card stock.  Color the pieces with Spectrum Noir markers.
  • stamp the sentiment from the Sassy Sentiments stamp set on a piece of black card stock with Versamark ink.  Sprinkle white embossing powder and heat-set using my heating tool.
  • assemble the card.
  • finish the design by adding the enamel dots on the coconut tree.




The Sassy Sentiments stamp set is one of my all-time favorites and when I saw the Beach Day stamp set, I knew I needed to create this card design.  


Here's a closer look:

Whale Hello there!



Hi everyone! Shanna here from Caffeinated Craftiness today with another adorable card featuring TRHD's Beach Day stamp set.  I thought the whales in the set were cute enough to have their own card, and thus this card was born!

I started by cutting out die cut circle out of a panel I had previously stenciled some clouds on with distress ink.  I took an acrylic block, that happened to have a wavy edge to it and smooshed on a decent amount of Salty Ocean distress ink.  I spritzed it and then played it over the bottom half of the circle.  I sat a glass of water on top for some weight, and then let it dry.  I find that if I don't rush it and lift the block off sooner, I don't get the deeper color I am wanting.  
While it was drying I stamped, colored, and cut out my Beach Day images using my Scan n' Cut.  I thought the whale would enjoy having a few friends, so the seagulls joined him while he visited his own little uncharted island.  
Next I dry embossed a solid white A2 panel and added a couple strips of nautical and gold washi.  After the circle had fully dried, I affixed it to the panel and then glued my images on it.  I had a sentiment all ready to go (Whale Hello! of course) but at the last minute decided I wanted to leave the card open to other possibilities if I needed a quick card to grab.  That is the beauty of a genuinely versatile stamp set, it can literally pull off any occasion from Thank you, Happy Birthday, I miss you, or just a plain Hello!  I like having options some times, and will leave the sentiment off for that reason.




I love visiting the ocean, being a California girl.....That's exactly where this card transports me!  Are you more of a lake or ocean type of person?  Does your crafting style ever reflect your preference?
