Starting Your Crafting Journey: A Joyful Guide to Cardmaking & Scrapbooking

 

Let's showcase the Waves of the Ocean Collection!

Coming to you for purchase on: 1 MARCH–2 MAY 2022

I love the ocean. I have always loved the ocean ever since I was little. I know I can't be the only one who stares out into the ocean, to the point where the sky blends with the horizon, falling in love with every change in color. The lighter colors where you can still see the sand, sometimes with gentle transitions to darker waters, or quick drop offs to deeper seas. I love all the colors of the water.

And this is how I feel about the "Waves of the Ocean" Collection!

I am totally in LOVE with this set from the pack of paper made from images of hand-poured paint, blue-hued foil sheets for a sea of shine, and radiant rhinestones for a splash of sparkle!

This coastal collection includes an inspiring set of stamps and detailed dies, both early-release products from the upcoming 2022–2023 Annual Catalog.

Plus, a pack of paper made from images of hand-poured paint, blue-hued foil sheets for a sea of shine, and radiant rhinestones for a splash of sparkle!

Glue these pieces to the card base and bridge piece.

Place one each of the 1" x 2 1/2" on the left and right panel front.

Adhere the 5 1/4" x 1" to the “bridge” card stock and attach bridge to card left and right front base panels.

Die cut out the “Waves” – Cut one piece of each: Basic White cardstock, Night of Navy Foil and Costal Cabana Foil Specialty Paper using the Waves Dies (the die you choose to use for the front wave die, use this for the white back wave)

Die cut some waves and clouds from some Basic White cardstock. Secure to the top edge of the middle panel. For dimension, place some clouds behind the cardstock and on front using glue dots and dimensions to add depth to the clouds. Secure the white wave die pieces to the front of the large wave.

Secure the assembled 'waves' to the bridge portion.

Stamp your sentiment on Basic White and die cut out with the label die from the Waves Dies.

Add a piece of Misty Moonlight ribbon from the 1/8” Cotton Ribbon Combo Pack and Crumb Cake Bakers Twine by holding the two ribbons together, create a look and draw the ends through the loop, tighten. Do this for both sides.
