I used the Stampin’ Up! Friendly Fins stamp set bundle to create a birthday card to share with you today.  I also did a video tutorial for this card and you can see it on YouTube here.

I started by adhering a panel of patterned paper from the Country Woods DSP pack to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I used Blending Brushes to apply Summer Splash and Coastal Cabana inks to a panel of Basic White card stock.  I tapped a Water Painter filled with water over the panel to create the “bubbles” and then adhered the inked panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut panels of Gray Granite, Shy Shamrock, Peach Pie, Lemon Lolly and Calypso Coral card stocks with the coral, fish and lobster dies from the Friendly Fins Dies.  I adhered the die cuts to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I stamped the dolphin images from the Friendly Fins photopolymer stamp set in Gray Granite ink (stamped off once for the “fill-in” image) on a panel of Basic White card stock and then cut around it with the coordinating Friendly Fins Dies.

I stamped the sentiment from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Coastal Cabana ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then cut around it with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies.  I adhered the die cut sentiment and dolphin images with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front and then added two Lost Lagoon gems from the Tinsel Gems Three-Pack to finish the card front.

I stamped the sentiment, fish and dolphin images from the Friendly Fins stamp set in Coastal Cabana, Gray Granite and Lemon Lolly inks on a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card.
