Good Sunday morning! I have a quick and easy masculine card for you today using By the Bay Designer Series Paper and the Waves of Inspiration stamp set.

Notice how the DSP has a continuous flow of the pattern. I love it when that happens! The DSP was cut 1 x 4 (three of them) and adhered to a Balmy Blue panel 3 1/2 x 4 1/2. This was attached to a very slightly larger Sahara Sand card stock, 3 5/8 x 4 5/8. I wrapped this gorgeous Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon around these panels and tied a knot. These panels were adhered the to a Night of Navy card base with dimensionals. I took this wonderful image of the seagull on pilings from Waves of Inspiration stamp set and stamped it with Sahara Sand ink. I colored the bill of the seagull very lightly with Watercolor Pencils Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie, die cut with the Waves Dies and attached it over the ribbon with dimensionals. And the card front was done.


For the inside…. a Sahara Sand panel was attached to the inside of the card, then a piece of Basic White, then a strip of the Bay the Bay on the left side. Also on the inside, I added another piece of the By the Bay DSP to the upper portion of the inside. It just really tied everything together and made the card extra special.
Now for the envelope…

This Waves of Inspiration stamp set is just gorgeous! I stamped it first in Balmy Blue ink on the envelope front, then lightly added Night of Navy ink in places and stamped it again. It is really quite stunning. Of course, more of the By the Bay DSP on the envelope flap trimmed to fit.
Here’s the exciting part about the products used for this card… The Waves of Inspiration stamp set and its coordinating Waves Dies are carrying over… just not as a bundle. The Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon is also carrying over. Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Basic White card stock are also carrying over, as are the Balmy Blue ink and Night of Navy ink. AND the Watercolor Pencils are also carrying over :O) What is not carrying over into the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is the By the Bay Designer Series Paper.
Prices are changing in the new catalog… production costs have risen as everything else has risen (such as food costs, clothing costs, gasoline, etc.) If you have a chance, check out getting these carry-over items now before the price increases with the new catalog. You may do that order from me here.
As so many items are being sold out rapidly, best thing to do is visit my ‘shop’ and see what’s still available. If it’s listed, it’s available. If it isn’t listed, it’s sold out – simple as that. The sale goes to May 1, 2023.
And… here’s my HOST CODE CXR49K4W for ordering any products from the retiring lists or any other items… order from me here and be sure to use my HOST CODE CXR49K4W. Look for my name listed as your demonstrator at the top of the page!When you place an order of $50 or more (before shipping & taxes), you receive from me a SU! item valued up to $10 + Star-Studded Rewards. If your order exceeds $150, do not use my HOST CODE as SU! has it’s own rewards from which you may choose. You will still receive that FREE ITEM from me up to $10 + the Star-Studded Rewards. And if your order is $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials. BONUS! :O)
So MANY exciting new colors in the 2023-2024 Annual catalog. If you were a customer of mine this past year and placed an order over $50, you should be receiving your catalog – they have been mailed!
