Stampin’ Up! Sea of Textures Birthday Card for Stamp Ink Paper

I used the Stampin’ Up! Sea of Textures stamp set bundle and the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies to create my card for the Stamp Ink Paper shaker card challenge this week.

Here is the graphic for Stamp Ink Paper 156.  Hope that you’ll stop by to play along too!

My card design was inspired by My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge 390.

My card also works for Cupcake Inspiration Challenge 449.

I started by adhering a panel of Tranquil Texture DSP to a panel of Fresh Fig card stock with SNAIL.  Then I cut two other panels of Tranquil Texture DSP with one of the Layering Squares Framelits Dies.  I stamped the images from the Sea of Textures stamp set on the Soft Sea Foam DSP panels in Tranquil Tide and Fresh Fig inks and the used the little fish die from the Under the Sea Framelits dies to cut the fish from the DSP panels.

I used a smaller Layering Squares Framelits Die to cut the centers out of the two remaining die cut squares and then cut two squares with the larger Layering Squares Framelits Dies from a Window Sheet.  I adhered the Window Sheets to the back of the die cut frames with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then die cut two of the coral from another panel of Tranquil Textures DSP. I adhered the die cut coral pieces to the two die cut frames with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I adhered the two Soft Sea Foam die cut squares to the card front panel with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and then adhered Foam Adhesives Strips around the edges of the squares.  I added a few pinches of Tranquil Textures Sprinkles inside each of the squares and then used the Foam Adhesive Strips to adhere the Window Sheet frames over the top.

I cut the sentiment from another panel of the Tranquil Textures DSP (you’d think that I like this paper 😉 ) with one of the Celebrate You Thinlints Dies and adhered it to the card front panel with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  I added a Rhinestone Basic Jewel next to the sentiment and then adhered the card front panel to a Fresh Fig card base with SNAIL to finish it.

I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Birthday stamp set in Fresh Fig ink and the Sea of Textures images in Fresh Fig and Tranquil Tide inks on a panel of Whisper White card stock to finish the inside of the card.
