Hang 10, Nap, Swim, and Surf

 

Hello everyone.  I hope y'all had a safe, fun, and cool July 4th.  Today I am sharing another card using my new favorite stamp - Hang 10.  This is such a fun stamp to have in your arsenal.  Not only can it be used as a background, but each of the surfboards are very simple to fussy cut if you don't have a Scan N Cut. 

If you want to recreate this card, here is what I did.

• I made a top-folding A2 card using light blue cardstock.
• I die-cut 2 pieces of white cardstock using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die and adhered 1 of them to the inside of the card for a message or note.
• Using the Sunburst stencil from The Crafter's Workshop (retired), I brushed on yellow ink on the other piece of white cardstock.  
• I ripped a piece of kraft cardstock, sprayed it with permanent glue and added sand to the top.  I did several layers of the sand until I got the look I wanted.  Then I adhered it to the bottom of my card.
• I stamped Hang 10 on white cardstock, used my Scan N Cut to cut the boards, colored 6 of the surfboards, and adhered them on the card front sitting in the sand.  
• Lastly, I stamped Beach Rules on white cardstock,  trimmed the words Nap*Swim*Surf, layered it on a banner die, and adhered it to the card front using foam squares.  There are several words on this stamp that you can use. 

Done!  

I hope you enjoyed this card idea.  If you shop on the Technique Junkies website, remember to use my code - TJ10Michael - at checkout to save 10% on your purchase.

Hang 10 and Learn To Surf

 

Hello everyone and Happy Saturday!  Even though I have never surfed in my life, I love to watch the surfers at the beach here.  And, surfing is huge here in Brasil.  When I saw the new Hang 10 stamp I knew that I would love to color all those boards and, it would be perfect to use with the Learn to Surf stamp.  

So, let's go make a card.  

• First, I stamped Hang 10 on white cardstock and used my Scan N Cut to cut the surfboards with a small border.  You can also fussy cut then if that is your thing.  
• I colored in a few of them and then applied glossy accents to each surfboard so they would have a glossy when dry.  Then I set them aside to dry for a few hours. 
• While they were drying, I made a top-folding card using blue cardstock.
• I die-cut a piece of light blue cardstock using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die, embossed it with the Waves 3D Embossing Folder from Memory Box, and adhered it to the card front.
• I stamped Learn to Surf on white cardstock, die-cut it with a rectangle die, layered it on a piece of blue cardstock, adhered a piece of fun foam to the back, and then adhered it to the card front higher up to make room for the surfboards.
• I adhered the surfboards to the bottom of the sentiment using wet glue and foam squares.  
• Lastly, I die-cut another piece of white cardstock using the 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die and adhered this to the inside for a message.  

Done!

I really love this card if I do say so myself.  LOL.  The glossy accents on the surfboards really make them pop.  What do you think?  I'd love to know...leave a comment below!
