I used the Sea Street and Cheerful Critters stamp sets from Stampin’ Up! to create my card to share today.

My card design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches 178.

I started by inking up the little fish image from the Sea Street stamp set in Real Red ink, stamping it on scrap paper once, then stamping it on a panel of Best Year Ever DSP (Sale-A-Bration item).

Then I stamped the rope image from the Sea Street stamp set in Night of Navy along the edge of a panel of Whisper White card stock.  I adhered the stamped DSP panel to the Whisper White panel, then to a Night of Navy card base with SNAIL.

I cut a banner with the banner die from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies set from the Maritime DSP pack, then snipped it in half and adhered the two halves to the card front with SNAIL.  I stamped the octopus image from the Sea Street stamp set in Night of Navy ink on a Whisper White panel, cut it out with a Circles Collection Framelits Die and adhered it with SNAIL to a 2-1/2″ Circle Punch from Night of Navy card stock.

I stamped the sentiment from the Cheerful Critters photopolymer stamp set in Real Red ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and I cut it out with the end of the banner die from the Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits Dies set.  I tucked a small piece of the Coastal Cabana ribbon from the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack (Sale-A-Bration item) under the sentiment, then stapled both to the layered circle with the Handheld Stapler.  I adhered the circles to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a little strip of the Best Year Ever DSP to a Whisper White panel inside the card.
