New at SU Seas The Day

 New at SU Monthly Blog Hop

Welcome to our NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin! Up! demonstrators from around the world who are Hoppin! with creative paper crafting ideas to share with you. Today, we are showcasing Stampin' Up! products by CASEing the Catalog. CASE means Copy And Share Everything. So today we are all selecting a sample from the Stampin' Up 2021-2022 Annual Catalog to CASE but changing it up some with new products from the Stampin' Up! January to June Mini Catalog. 

My choice from the annual catalog is on page 12. This is the card that convinced me I needed the Layering Diorama Dies!  I picked it so I can play with my new dies and I decided to use a few different products from the January to June Mini Catalog. I  kept the basic design and colors but made it a Shadow Box Card and change the greenery and fish to items from the Seas the Day Stamp Set.

My CASE

I watched a lot of videos on YouTube on how to make Shadow Box cards. I made a prototype from some cheap paper so I could play around with the placement of the diorama dies and the Gentle Waves background stamp.  I used the Gentle Waves with Balmy Blue classic Stampin' Ink on Balmy Blue Cardstock. I used temporary adhesive to hold the box together while I decide on the placement of all the elements and I used the liquid glue to adhere everything on layers 1 and 2 before I used the permanent adhesive on the box. 

I adhered the greenery and the sentiment strip after the box was completely assembled and glued.

The photos really don't show the box or layers so here is a 40-second video so you can see the box and layers.

Please contact your Stampin! Up! demonstrator if you have any questions or to make a product purchase. I would be happy to answer any questions about products or the techniques shown here.

Stampin' Up! Seas The Day

 Sketch Challenge 

It's a sketch challenge this week at Freshly Made Sketches. My first idea when  I saw the sketch was to die cut a rectangle and stamp something on it. But after thinking about it I decided to try something different. It's been a while since I used the block stamping technique but I thought it would work well with this challenge

When you block stamp you use your acrylic stamping block like a stamp and you use markers or an ink pad to lay the color right onto the block. I used my Many Marvelous Markers to create a scene that looks like an ocean floor. I swiped each of the colors on the clear block (C) with the side of the marker's brush tip. Then I blew on it. This is called huffing and it helps to keep the ink wet. I stamped the block directly on the basic white cardstock and held it for a few seconds so the ink would transfer. I used Sahara Sand for the sand and Coastal Cabana and Pool Party for the water. I stamped the air bubbles with Misty Moonlight. After it dried I stamped the other images on top of it.

I used the Stitched with Whimsy dies to create a stitched border on my basic white panel.  I used the Thank You sentiment from the Seascape Stamp Set. I used some dimensionals to adhere my panel to the card base.

If you would like to see what other cardmakers did with this sketch you can see over 50 ideas at Freshly Made Sketches
