Hey there! My timing is still off, but at least I'm getting a post out there for today!

The card I want to share with you today is the beginner version with the Seaside Bay stamp set. When I was thinking of how I wanted to make my three cards to share with my team (and with you!) I planned to stamp directly on the By the Bay 6" x 6" Designer Paper, which I received in my first pre-order back in early November. However, I couldn't find the paper anywhere, so I decided to just use the stamps from the set along with the Oceanfront stamp set to create my cards, which is more of a beginner technique anyway!

I started with a Very Vanilla Thick Card Stock base, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4". I used the "portrait" presentation as shown. I then did my stamping on a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of regular (thinner) Very Vanilla. I stamped Oceanfront images with Pale Papaya, Balmy Blue, and Crumb Cake ink to look like the ocean, sunrise, and sand. I stamped the sandpiper (from Seaside Bay) with Crumb Cake ink, then stamped him again over the first stamping with Soft Suede ink because he was too pale. I didn't get the second stamping exactly over the first, but I decided I liked it that way because these little birds never stay still for long and the "blur" looks like he is moving. I stamped the sea grass (from Oceanfront) with Pear Pizzazz ink. I stamped the sand image from Seaside Bay all around the outside edge of the layer.

"Heartfelt Sympathy", stamped with Soft Suede, is also found in the Seaside Bay set.

"thinking of you" is from the Season of Chic stamp set. The baby sandpipers are stamped with Crumb Cake.

I will be back tomorrow, hopefully in the morning, with the Casual stamper Seaside Bay card!
