There’s something about watching the sunset over water that brings quiet peace and relaxation. Jo Anne Hewins captured that feeling perfectly in her version of this card. I had a good time recreating it myself. The Sending Sunshine stamp set makes it incredibly easy with overlapping stamps.
Full list of supplies needed, listed below. A die cutting machine is needed for this card.
Card Base: Basic White Thick Cardstock 8 1/2 h” x 5 1/2″ w folded to 5 1/2″ h x 4 1/4″ w.
Background: Basic White Cardstock 3 1/2″ h x 3 1/2″ w
Sentiment Layer: Basic White Cardstock 5 1/4″ h x 4″ w
- Affix all stamps to Acrylic Blocks.
- Fold the Card Base in half using a Bone Folder to sharpen the crease.
- Creating the Background Layer
- Lay the 3″ Circle Die from the Layering Circles Die set in the center of the Background Layer and mark the outside edge lightly with pencil.
- Stamp the smallest water stamp first in Coastal Cabana.
- Stamp the largest water stamp in Pool Party, overlapping the first layer.
- Next Stamp the Sun in Mango Melody and a smidge of Pumpkin Pie, overlapping the two water layers. To get the smidge of Pumpkin Pie, I first stamped the image in the Mango Melody, then pressed just the top edge of the sun onto the Pumpkin Pie ink pad. Practice on scrap paper first.
- Add the clouds, also in Mango Melody with a smidge of Pumpkin Pie.
- Lastly stamp the Palm Fronds with Mossy Meadow ink.
- Stamp the Sentiment in Tuxedo Black ink on the Sentiment Layer. Then die cut the 3″ circle and run the layer through the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder.
- Use Dimensionals to attach the Background behind the 3″ window.
- Use Dimensionals to attach the Sentiment Layer.
- Add a bow.
- Decorate the Inside Layer and attach.
- Decorate the envelope.
- So cute! Now send it to someone who needs some sunshine.
