Today I’m sharing a card that I made for the Mojo Monday 278 Sketch Challenge using the By the Seashore stamp set from Stampin’ Up.

Here are the products that you will need to create this card:

• By the Seashore (126530 wood, 126532 clear)
• Blooming with Kindness (126420 wood, 126422 clear)
• Circles #2 Originals Die (114526)
• 1-3/4″ Circle Punch (119854)
• Large Scallop Edgelits (127019)
• Bitty Banners Framelits Dies (129267)
• Always Artichoke 1/2″ Seam Binding Ribbon (121000)
• Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack (117157)
• Always Artichoke Classic Stampin’ Pad (126972)
• River Rock Classic Stampin’ Pad (126977)
• Always Artichoke Card Stock (105119)
•  River Rock Card Stock (108640)
• SNAIL Adhesive (104332)
• Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430)

I started with an Always Artichoke card base cut to 5-1/4″ x 10-1/2″ and scored at 5-1/4″.  Then I cut a panel of River Rock card stock to 5″ x 5″ and I stamped the seashell images from the By the Seashore stamp set in River Rock ink randomly on the panel.  I wrapped a piece of Always Artichoke Seam Binding around the center and adhered it with SNAIL, then adhered the panel to the card front with SNAIL.  Next, I cut a panel of the Neutrals DSP Stack to 3-3/4″ x 4″ and I used the Large Scallop Edgelits Die to trim the side of the panel.  Then I cut a 3″ x 3″ panel of River Rock card stock and stamped the seashell images in Always Artichoke ink on the panel and adhered it with SNAIL to a panel of Always Artichoke card stock that I’d cut to 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″.  Then I cut two flags from Always Artichoke card stock using the larger Bitty Banners Framelits die, I cut the flags in half and adhered them to the back of the layered panel.  Next, I adhered the decorated panel to the DSP panel with SNAIL and adhered the layered panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  To finish the card, I cut  a circle from River Rock card stock using the Circles #2 Originals Die, stamped the Thank You sentiment from the Blooming With Kindness stamp set in Always Artichoke ink, then stamped the shell in River Rock ink over the sentiment.  I adhered the sentiment to a 1-3/4″ Scallop Circle Punch from Always Artichoke card stock, then I adhered the layered sentiment to the card front using SNAIL on the left side and a Stampin’ Dimensional on the right.
