Stampin’ Up! Relaxing Waterside Birthday Card for the Inkin’ Krew Blog Hop

Welcome back to another Inkin’ Krew blog hop!  Our very talented team is doing a blog hop featuring Stampin’ Up! products.  This month we are all creating projects with a “for the men/boys” theme and I’m featuring the Relaxing Waterside stamp set bundle for my card.

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside Birthday Card

I started by adhering a panel of patterned paper from the Waterside Retreat DSP to the front of a Gray Granite card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I adhered a strip of Waterside Retreat DSP to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.  I cut another panel of Waterside Retreat DSP with one of the Perennial Postage Dies and I adhered it to a panel of Misty Moonlight card stock with Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Relaxing Waterside Birthday Card

I stamped the chair image from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then colored the image with Light and Dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I cut the image out with the coordinating Relaxing Waterside Dies and adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I tied a length of Linen Thread in a bow through the top of one of the Anchor Trinkets and then I adhered the trinket to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot (hidden under the sentiment banner).

I stamped the sentiment from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then cut around it with the banner die from the Fragrant Layers Dies.  I adhered the die cut sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish it.

I stamped the sentiment from the Relaxing Waterside stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then added a strip of the Waterside Retreat DSP to finish the inside of the card.
