It is now Monday morning and time to share some weekend projects.

I would normally share some #simplestamping projects on Saturday and then have some Step It Up Projects on Sunday.

However, I spent Saturday at a Stampin’ Up! Team Training Event with the Paper Angels. My task was to share projects, tips and techniques using the Waves of the Ocean Collection. Then Sunday was time to pack things away and make my weekend projects.

Here are the #simplestamping projects.

This first card is so quick and easy. I used Basic White Note Cards and Envelopes. The wave image and sentiment are part of the Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set. I stamped them using Coastal Cabana ink.

For the second card, I added Pacific Point to the wave stamp by carefully dabbing the ink pad at different areas on the stamp.

As you can see, I am slowly adding a few more elements to each card – colour, layers, adhesives, tools and card. For this card, I added Night of Navy to the stamped image. To apply the colours this time, I used my Stamparatus and Blending Brushes.

The sentiment was stamped and punched using the Timeless Label Punch. I cut a 1/4″ strip of Bermuda Bay, Night of Navy and Pacific Point cardstock and attached them to the back of the punched label. Then I cut these strips at an angle before using Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the punched shape up on the card front.

For this card, I stamped the wave image, using the same Stamparatus technique and inks, directly on to a piece of Waves of the Ocean 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper.

The sentiment was stamped on to a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock and then punched it out. It was popped up on the front of the card using dimensionals.

For this card, I introduced the Blue Foils 12″x 12″ Specialty Paper and the Waves Dies. I used one of the waves dies to create the outline shape. A piece of the DSP was placed under the wave using dimensionals.

The pelican image was coloured using Smoky Slate, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Markers™ directly on the stamp. After it was die cut , I placed it on the front of the card.

The sentiment was stamped and cut before it was added to the card front. Then I took three short lengths of white twine, from the Baker’sTwine Essential Pack, and looped them through end of the tag.

Finally, I added some Pebbles Enamel Shapes to the base of the pylons.

The last card, that has been stepped up, also features the Mother of Pearl 12″x 12″ Specialty Paper. I placed Adhesive Sheets behind the Mother of Pearl paper to make it easier to add to the wave.

The sentiment was stamped, die cut and trimmed on one side. Then Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to pop it up.

The last step was to add some Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels to the card.

It doesn’t take much to make a variety of cards.

Whoops – I’m not sure why I added the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon in this photo, I didn’t use it for any of these cards.

A little later today, I will share my Monday project and then we’ll be back on track.

Until then, happy stamping.
