By the Tide and Flamingo Lingo Card

When Stampin' Up! creates new stamp sets that have a nautical or beach theme I have to get it. I believe I have all their current sets with those themes.

My interest in ocean stuff extends to more than just cards. I have bright saltwater fish decorating my bathroom (previously it was decorated with shells). My bedroom is decorated with lighthouses.

I think that my love of the ocean and everything about it probably began when I was very young. My family visited my Aunt, Uncle and cousins who lived right above Agate Beach, Oregon. Today is my Aunt's and Uncle's 70th wedding anniversary! Happy Anniversary Doris and Roy! They still live near Newport, OR and I enjoy visiting with them occasionally.

Flamingo Lingo stamp set

 

 A new stamp set that is in the new catalog is called Flamingo Lingo. It is a stamp set with a 'cause'. A portion of the proceeds from each set sold is given to the Ronald McDonald House. I love this year's set.

I used the flower and the "Happy Day" banner for today's card.
I also used the shell from the "By the Tide" stamp set which is a favorite of mine. It has been in the catalog for a couple of years now.

I sponged the background with Tempting Turquoise, Crumb Cake and Sahara Sands Classic Stampin' inks. The Shell is stamped in Brown Sugar and sponged with Crisp Cantaloupe.

Mojo Monday By the Tide

I've been thinking about spring and warm climates, how about you?
I was going to create a card with the Settin' Sail photopolymer stamp set (Stampin' Up!), but started to switch out every element until I finally ended up with a By the Tide card instead. I will have to do the sail boat card for another post.

So, this is what I came up with for this week's Mojo Monday sketch #333.

By the Tide Card

By the Tide stamp set is one of my favorite sets. I've used all the other stamps in the set, but this is the first card I have created with the lobster. I did use a couple of the other stamps in the set to stamp on the background card stock.

The bottle caps have been a fun Stampin' Up! embellishment. I'm hoping they make it to the new catalog. As a demonstrator, I will be able to peek at the new catalog tomorrow. If you were on my team you could too! I like to smash the bottle caps with my Big Shot. The smashed ones make great frames for a small stamp.

 I would love to be your Stampin' Up! demonstrator and/or have you join my team! More info is available on tabs at top of blog.
