Waves of Inspiration and Tahitian Tide

We are in the “dog days” of summer here in the Northeast. It’s hazy, hot and humid! What better way to cool off then with a wave in some cool blue water. I created this card for the #creativechallengesu.

This is the sketch that Stampin’ Up! posted for the challenge. I chose to stick to the sketch pretty closely but, all sketches are subject to interpretation. So go with what inspires you!

INstructions for Wave of Inspiration & tahitian Tide

Cut your Basic White Thick card base 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and score at 4 1/4″.

Use Memento Black to stamp the wave image on a piece of Basic White cut 3 1/4″ x 4″. Then cut into 4 one inch pieces.
Adhere these pieces equally spaced on the Tahitian Tide DSP.
Adhere the layered piece to the card front.

It’s time for another amazing Stamp Camp from the Creativity Abounds Design Team. We are a group of 13 demonstrators from around the world who love to create, inspire and demonstrate card making for you! We do a blog hop and tutorial bundle each month and hold a stamp camp each quarter.

The Boughs of Holly Stamp Camp will be our next event on October 28-29, 2022. All you need to do to join our Boughs of Holly Stamp Camp is purchase your Boughs of Holly Suite from a member of our design team. (IF you already own the suite, substitute $79.50 of products from the online store and email me to let me know you’d like to participate. ) THE STAMP CAMP IS FREE!

You will want to be part of this amazing Stamp Camp so you can receive a Card Kit to make 13 beautiful cards or 3D items. These kits will have everything that is not included in the Suite cut and prepped for you. You will use your DSP, ribbon, embellishments and dies. We will provide the card stock needed. Written and video instructions will be provided for each of the 13 projects.

In addition to the card kit, each member of the design team will present a different project LIVE in an exclusive FaceBook group. These lives will be throughout the day and night because of the different time zones, but all will be recorded and available to watch on replay for eternity! We will also host challenges and Crafternoon Tea as part of our weekend as well.

The Boughs of Holly Suite includes a package of designer series paper, a stamp set and coordinating dies, ribbon and textured elements. You can see them all below.

Now is the perfect time to order the Boughs of Holly Suite. You will earn a Level 1 ($50) free Sale-a-bration item if you order before August 31. Round your order up to $100 for even more free items!

Please use this link to order as the host code is embedded and I’ll be sure to know your intention to participate in Stamp Camp. I can’t wait to have you join us for this fun event!
