Today’s card was a really fun one to make. The sad news is that the Chicken Wire (which I LOVE) is retiring! Say it ain’t so!
I decided to play with it before it was gone….. Here is the card I made for you today!:
I know that this picture looks like I used Tempting Turquoise, but the colors are all wrong, this was made using Bermuda Bay. Bermuda Bay is one of my very favorite colors! Not sure why my camera decided not to show the true color.
I used the Stamp set from SU! called Sitting Pretty. This stamp set is so much fun to stamp with, all the stamps work together so you don’t ‘color’ anything, you stamp it. Using the Stamparatus makes it even better!
Here are the specifics for this card:

I was so excited on how this card came out! I even tackled doing a reflection!
Here are some of the cards that I show at the end that you might want to see closer!
I made this one after looking at this photo i found online:
Here’s another card I made:
I saw a card like this online, but couldn’t find it again. I pretty much copied it! I did change a little in the sky, but the rest I kept. If you happen to see this card please let me know so I can give credit. UPDATE: Thank you for everyone that mentioned where I saw this, Kim Jolley at stampinartfully.blogspot.com is the one that I got the idea from. Thank you Kim!!
This is also from the same person, this is where I learned HOW to make the Scenes! Again, if you see or know who made the original, please let me know! I did add some Glitter & Clear Epoxy Dots to make the rain look more real!
Hope you like this post. Check back in for my other posts!

I see the ‘Ghosting’ Technique all over, and I wanted to do this with a Twist! I made a Beach landscape card, and wanted my chair to have a shadow, or ghosting effect, BUT I wanted to be able to see the water and sand behind the chair. The thinlit from SU!’s Seasonal Layers cuts the entire chair out, and that would leave a BIG hole in my beach scene! :-O Can’t have that!! So, I die cut out 2 images of the chair, one in Crushed Curry and one in Black. Plus, I had to die cut out the chair directly from my scene!
Once the card was made, I cut out the chair which left a BIG hole in my card, so I had to remake my background on scraps of Very Vanilla to match the colors that I already had on my card. This is much easier than you would think…….just sponge the colors you used onto Very Vanilla and stamp the waves for the water, tape them onto the back of your card. It’s that easy!! Then you will still have the outline to place a black chair, and it will be flat to the card, it looks just like a shadow!
As always the supplies are listed below, just click on ANY picture to be taken to my OnLine Store! IF you purchase from me using this Hostess code: WNUY3EBP, I will make YOU this card and mail it to you!

I’m off for now!!

I was perusing Pinterest seeing what I could make, and I found a Z fold card by Karen Watts and loved her scene! Of course I had to start making my own! And being me, I HAD to add to what I saw on her card AND put in my NEW stamp sets that I just got from the NEW catalog by Stampin’ Up!
I wanted to use the Bike Ride, have the bike going along the beach, and since I had a beach I HAD (again) to use High Tide for the water! High Tide is the greatest stamp set for making water! And since I was using the water I also used the grass, birds on the beach and the birds that are flying! Birds!! For those that know me everytime I use the word/stamp birds, I think of Bambi and say it like Flower said it……..BIRD! 🙂
I also wanted to pull in Seasonal Layers with their Beach Chair! That is such a fun set! Ok, I admit it…….Stampin’ Up! has waaaaaaay too many cute sets! They are fun to play with and BOY they are great for making a story!
Here is my card closed:
Cute, right?!!
Here is the card partially open:
There’s the chair! And now open all the way:
I LOVE how it came out, don’t you!? Not sure what sentiment to put on, or if it needs one……what do you think? Sometimes when I send out my greeting cards, I don’t put a greeting on it, since I want to say what I want to say and let the card speak for itself! Do you ever do that?
The Deets:
Cardstock
Bermuda Bay: 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 8 1/4″, 1 1/2″ x 11, scored in the same places (when you put on card, the folds are opposite)
Whisper White: 5 1/4″ x 4″, 2 1/2″ x 4 (x’s 2), 5 1/4″ x 1 1/4″, 2 1/2″ x 1 1/4″ (xs 2) and scraps for stamping and chair.
I used a post it for the sun, JUST be sure and cut the circle in HALF before you sponge sun! LOL For some reason my mind couldn’t fathom that when I stamped the ocean that it would cover the circle….kind of hard when I didn’t take off the circle when I stamped the ocean OVER the circle! Let me tell you, for some reason (though I’ve done it before) it didn’t dawn on me to cut the circle in half since I was ONLY using half of it to mask the sun. Sheesh!! I’m sure I am the ONLY one that happens to!
Now, on to my Blog Candy!!
