You KNOW!
I know you know.
So…I won’t even say it.
YOU say it!
And when you’ve said it, we can take a look at a fun little card I made with the Beach Happy stamp set (which is retiring – so get it quick!) and some new Follow Your Art DSP (coming on 4 Jun in the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog). Take a look-see:
The layout for this one is from this week’s As You See It Challenge.
And the challenge over at The Paper Players just warmed my fussy-cutting-loving heart!
I started with a Whisper White panel and, in Mint Macaron and Crumb Cake, stamped the palm tree fronds and trunk from the Beach Happy stamp set – using my Stamparatus. Then I embossed it in the Seaside TIEF – which is ALSO retiring! I stamped the image and embossed the panel with it larger than I wanted – then I cut it down to size with my Trimmer. I matted the panel on a piece of Pacific Point card stock for the card front.
I cut a strip of Coastal Cabana paper from the new Follow Your Art DSP and used the Tailored Tag Punch to bannerize the ends. Then I adhered it to the card front with Liquid Glue.
I trimmed a retiring Colored Doily in Grapefruit Grove down a little then adhered it over the banner with Liquid Glue.
The Mint Macaron 1/4″ Textile Ribbon, coming in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, is looped and adhered with a few Glue Dots.
For the art, I stamped the beach chair and umbrella image in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Whisper White, then I cut it with a Stitched Shapes Framelits oval die. I added the Beach Happy sentiment in Pacific Point. I popped the oval onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a piece of Coastal Cabana paper from Follow Your Art, I stamped the beach chair again in Tuxedo Black and fussy cut the sections of the chair. With my Journaling Pen, I traced the lines on each piece to make them a little more bold. Then I adhered the pieces to the art panel with Liquid Glue. I did the same with the umbrella image – on a different design paper in Follow Your Art.
I added a couple three Mint Macaron Share What You Love Artisan Pearls and the card front was done!
On the inside, I added another palm tree from Beach Happy in Mint Macaron and Crumb Cake to a Whisper White panel. I stamped the hat image in Pacific Point, then repeated it on the Follow Your Art DSP – fussy cut it, and adhered it to the hat.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Pacific Point mat and into my Mint Macaron card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got another Beach Happy tree on the front…
…and some more Follow Your Art DSP on the envelop flap.
Et Voila! I LOVE paper piecing, y’all – and this new Follow Your Art DSP is just flat perfect for the technique – especially with the Beach Happy stamp set, don’t you think?? I sure do hope you like and will give it a try! And – get these retiring goodies (Beach Happy, Seaside TIEF, and the Colored Doilies) before they’re gone forever!

Happy hump day to you! Love your design, colors, technique…everything!
Thank you, Karen! 🙂
Said.
LOL! Thanks! 🙂
OK, already! It’s HAWMP day! There! I said it for you.
Great card. Love the way you engineered all the components. That said, I don’t have the beach set and won’t be getting the art set. They just don’t ‘trip my trigger’. I like the colors you chose for this card. Probably will get the DSP even if I don’t want the stamp set. SU has the BEST papers!
FINALLY!! I wasn’t sure ANYone would say it! 🙂 Thank you so much, Julie! 🙂
Too cute! Love the fun layering and the sweet umbrella…jealous of your fussy cutting skills. 🙂
LOL! Pretty easy fussy cutting! Thanks, Amy!
I love this, Mary! Such a great set, so I’m enjoying seeing it used so perfectly. It really suits a bit of paper piecing – although I tried it once on some Blueberry Bushel DSP and it drove me mad trying to cut the lines accurately! I think that the tree in the background is great and that your choices of colours and embossing folder are spot on. Thanks so much for joining in with us again at As You See It Challenge.
Thank you, Jan! I DID have to hold my tongue juuuusst right to get it done! 🙂
Hump Day! What? What? This means the week is half over! YAY! 🤗
The card is super cute! Absolutely love the colors and new DSP!
Why yes, yes it does! And yes….YEAH!!!! And also whoo-hooo!! Thanks so much, Karen! 🙂
Love your card. I am visiting family in Baltimore
You have to check out the grocery store wegmans. We go there all the time when we are here
I’ll do it! I’ve seen their trucks, so…will find one and check it out. Thanks, Debbie! 🙂
What a great beachy card, Mary! You did such a good job with the paper piecing! And it was a very appropriate choice of paper to use for the beach umbrella! Thanks for joining us at As You See It Challenges!
Thanks very much! Appreciate you stopping by! 🙂
Super cute beach scene and the umbrella is so perfect for paper piecing! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Paper Players!
