What a bright, fun card for Day 11 of my 40 Cards in 40 Days Challenge! It makes me smile with all of the bright colors. This card was designed my fellow demonstrator Michelle Suit for a swap I participated in. I love receiving swaps from people because I get so many great ideas, but on the other hand, it makes me want whatever bundle/suite they’ve used on their card. Ha!
Michelle used products from the Friends of the Ocean Suite. This suite comes with a stamp set, die set, designer paper, embossing folder and embellishments. Don’t you just love the designer paper? That is the first thing that caught my eye when I saw this suite in Stampin’ Up!’s January – April 2025 Mini Catalog. So many bright colors! Melon Mambo, Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist, Summer Splash and Berry Burst.
The crab and the lobster in the stamp set are pretty darn cute. You use 2-step stamping to complete them. Ink up the solid stamp, stamp off on scrap paper and then stamp on your cardstock. Finish up by inking up the outline image and stamp it over the lighter solid image. Or you can do it the other way around. Sometimes it’s easier to stamp the outline first.
I hope you enjoyed this bright, fun card! Have a great day. Take care and Happy Stamping!
