Making A Splash

We are starting our stamp year off with just that . . . a splash!  This fancy fold card might look a little fishy, but with colors like Lost Lagoon and Hello Honey, and stamps that take us on a cruise into the ocean, we just can't help getting in a summery mood!

By The Tide in Lost Lagoon Card

We are putting our punches and framelits to work to make our punched out version of a tucked in card!  The 4 1/4 x 11" Lost Lagoon Card Stock piece is scored at 4 1/4" and 8 1/2" then folded over itself.  One punch at the center of the top fold with our 2 1/2" Circle Punch provides some real interest when we punch out some circles and add them to the mix.  A couple of dimensionals help us make the magic happen.  There is a message inside but you may want to spend most of your time smiling at the sea coral and our cutout fishy friend from the By The Tide stamp set.  The new, and soon to be favorite, Moonlight DSP Stack gives us lots of coordinating looks to go along with our bubbly creations.  Who would have thought Basic Gray could be so beautiful?  Our Decorative Dots Embossing Folder is just the ticket to make us want to get out our snorkels and flippers!  For some other versions of this "half cut die card" have a peak at Debbie's Designs Blog.  All papers, inks, and accessories used in this card are from Stampin’ Up! ™
