Welcome to week 36 of our 2021-22 Colour Creations blog hop! Tonight we are showcasing Pool Party from the Subtles family.
Tonight’s cards bring together the free Simply Marbleous SALE-a-bration DSP with a brand new bundle that I am super excited about. The Waves of Inspiration Cling Stamp Set and Waves Dies are an early-release product from the 2022–2023 Annual Catalogue and will be available to purchase from March 1.
My husband and my boys really do live to surf so I know I will get a lot of use from this set! We are lucky enough to live at one of the best surfing beaches in Australia and surfing is such a wonderful activity they enjoy all year round. This Waves of the Ocean collection is definitely one I will keep and use forever.
The cards I’ve made for today use a pared back colour palette of Pool Party with Basic Black and Basic White.
Whenever I use the die inlay technique I always make two cards so as not to waste the negative images from either die cut.
Die Inlay Technique, step by step
- Adhere adhesive strip to one side of a 14×7 cm piece of Pool Party card stock and the reverse side of a 14×7 cm piece of Simply Marbleous DSP.
- Use one of the large wave dies to cut a wave from the Pool Party card stock – do not throw away any of the negative pieces.
- Use the same wave die to cut a wave from the Simply Marbleous DSP, again keeping the negative pieces.
- Adhere the wave outline to the card base and then use the negative pieces from the other die cut wave to fill in the wave.
- Repeat for the other card, using the cardstock and DSP in reverse.
Can you have a Pool Party sun? I hope so, because didn’t want to introduce another colour into the colour palette.
The Simply Marbleous DSP really does look so realistic for waves, capturing the way light falls across a wave, as well as all the froth!
The Playful Alphabet dies are perfect for creating a custom word or phrase on a card – in this case it’s “Surf’s Up!”
