Visiting the Scenic Coast

I've been a Stampin Up demonstrator for 23 years!  And I have loved the creativity that it brings to my life.  From the time that I was a girl, I have enjoyed making pretty things out of paper.  :)

This summer's catalog is filled with beautiful new stamps, dies and papers.  For this card class, I chose the Scenic Coast to work with.  The papers are amazing and the the cut outs are easy to use to make beautiful cards.  

This card features a lighthouse cut out with one of the sunset papers in the background.  A version of this card is in the SU catalog.  

I know that I don't share what's in the catalogs very often, but this set is so scenic.  LOL

 

For this card, I cut out the "sunrise" die from the blue cardstock and then glued it back in.  I cut a strip of the sunset paper and adhered it along the front side of the card.  Then I cut out the sailboat and added it to the scene with dimensionals.  I love the seagull cut outs and everything about this card.  It's one of my all-time favs.  I could make it all day.  

This card has a large strip of the sunset papers glued to one side.  I did some stamping on the purple side and then added the "sunset" die cut from patterned vellum that I had.  As the girls were making the card, we called it the "age of aquarius," like the old song.  I got the idea from Cheri's Cards and I like the addition of the yellow strip for the saying.  

I hope to make more cards and projects using this set.  Thank you, Stampin Up and my stamping friends for two decades + of crafting bliss.  I hope there will be many more.
