First we did a waterfall card. These were real popular when I first got involved with Stampin' Up. At the spring Quarterly, we made one of these cards and I decided that my gals would love making one. I gave them 3 choices. Surprisingly, the flower one was the most popular! You can find instructions to make these cards on Splitcoast Stampers.

This is the inside of the card.
Instructions:
After creasing the vanilla card at 4 1/4", put it in the trimmer and remove a 1/2" piece, then remove an additional 1-1/4" piece. The 1-1/4' space will form the window and the 1/2" piece will adhere to the window sheet to create the full sized card.
Add strips of Post-it-Notes to mask off an area for sponging.
Sponge the background LIGHTLY w/Soft Sky & a little Crumb Cake on the bottom.
Stamp the seaweed with Crumb Cake.
Adhere Window Sheet to card, lining up the right edge with the card.
Adhere ½” strip to the backside of the Window Sheet – again matching up the right edges.
Adhere DSP to left side of the card front (covering up the area you taped the Window Sheet onto the card front. Best adhesive for this is the green Tombow Glue so you will have wiggle room to get everything in order.
Adhere ½” strip of DSP to front of card on right side.
Stamp fish on scrap paper, cut out and adhere to card front.
Stamp fish “bubbles” on inside to match the fish

Our next card was much easier! I used Seaside Shore to make this card. I again used the retired By the Shore DSP. Everyone had different strips do the finished cards were all different.
This was our calendar for July using the wonderful Colorful Seasons.
If you live in the Lake Norman area and would like to join my Stamp Club, we meet on the 3rd Tuesday and Thursday (your choice) at 1:00. Let me know and I will set a place for you!
