Waves of Inspiration - Z-Fold Card

In case you have been following me and wondering where I've been, I had knee replacement surgery in February and I've been slowly healing and not doing much stamping.  As a matter of fact, this card took me several days to make but I'm so in love with this new early release stamp set called Waves of Inspiration.

I only wish the Designer Series Paper, Foil and Embellishment could carry over as well.  Be sure to get them while supplies last.  Here are the instructions for my card that was inspired by Kelly Pitts but I changed the front of the card.

Stamp Set:  Waves of Inspiration, Color and Contour

Cardstock:  Bermuda Bay, Night of Navy, Basic White, Night of Navy Foil, Waves of Ocean DSP

Ink:  Coastal Cabana, Pacific Point, Night of Navy, Versamark, White Embossing Powder

Other: Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Stamparatus, Stitched Rectangle Dies, Heat Tool, Blending Brushes, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

 

1.     The base of the card is Bermuda Bay Cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” and 2-3/4”.

2.    The Waves of Ocean DSP is cut at 2-7/8” x 4-1/4” and adhered to the inside right panel with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Cut two Stitched Rectangle Dies from 3-1/2” x 2-1/4” Basic White cardstock and adhered to the two inside panels with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3.    Cut Night of Navy cardstock at 3-7/8” x 5-1/8”.

4.    Cut Basic White cardstock at 3-5/8” x 4-7/8”.

5.    Use the Stamparatus to stamp the ocean wave stamp with Coastal Cabana.  Use the Blending Brushes to add Pacific Point and Night of Navy to the rubber stamp to give it more depth. 

6.    Use Versamark ink to add the white caps from the Color and Contour splatter stamp.  Use White Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.

7.    Ink up the sentiment “Your Strength is an Inspiration” with Night of Navy ink on Basic White cardstock.  Die-cut with the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  Die-cut a Night of Navy Foil with the Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhere together to the right corner of the front of the card.

8.    Add three birds on the left side of the front of the card with Night of Navy ink.

9.    Adhere to the Night of Navy cardstock and use Multipurpose Glue on the side that adheres to the front panel.

This is another card that I made over the weekend with my new Waves of the Ocean Collection.  It is going to be a popular early release starting March 1 for customers.  The stamp set and the dies will be available in the annual catalog in May, but not the Waves of Ocean DSP, Blue Foil, or Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels.  Those three items will be while supplies last so why not get the whole collection March 1 for $79.25 #161797

Waves of Ocean - Available March 1

Isn't this card beautiful?  It is made with the new Waves of the Ocean Bundle which is available to customers starting March 1.  It is an Early Release of the Bundle that will be in the new Annual Catalog in May, but you can't purchase it until March 1.   You can also purchase the Waves of the Ocean Collection which includes the gorgeous Waves of Ocean 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, Blue Foils, and Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels as well as the Bundle.  The Bundle will be in the new catalog, but not the others included in the collection and they are only while supplies last.  I used the foils in this card but not the gorgeous DSP which I plan to use in my next card.

Here are my instructions:

Stamp Set:  Waves of Inspiration

Cardstock:  Night of Navy, Coastal Cabana, Basic White,

Ink:  Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Wave Dies, Stamparatus, Paper Trimmer, Paper Snips, Blue Foils Specialty Paper, Adhesive Sheets, Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels, Blending Brushes, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

 

1.     The base of the card is Night of Navy cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is Coastal Cabana cardstock cut at 4” x 5”.

3.    The third layer is Basic White cardstock cut at 3-3/4” x 4-7/8” and inserted into the Stamparatus.  Attach the large wave stamp to the Stamparatus Plate and ink it up with Coastal Cabana ink.  May need to reink several times to get it inked the way you want it.  Make a mask to put over it.

4.    Use the Blending Brush in Daffodil Delight and blend across the top.  Then use the Calypso Coral ink to blend below it.

5.    Adhere Adhesive Sheets on the back of the foils. Die-cut the wave dies with Night of Navy and Coastal Cabana foils.  Die-cut the birds with the Silver foil.  Peel off the adhesive sheet and adhere to the stamped wave image.  Add the birds in the sky.  Add the Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels.
