Waterside Resort, Masculine Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. I still had my "Waterside Resort" Designer Series Paper (DSP) sitting on my worktable (mostly because I don't put things back right away!).  I found this card on Pinterest and thought I'd give it a try since I really didn't need to get many supplies out. You can see the original card by clicking here. From the image that was cut from a sheet of the DSP, there were two boats in the water and you can make two cards fro that one cutting.  I did make two cards from that cutting but I'm only posting one of them. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Old Olive card stock for the largest layer.

The DSP on the left was cut at 5" x 2-1/4". I taped it in place.

I die cut the image using the second largest rectangle die in the "Nested Essentials" set and the Old Olive layer was cut using the largest rectangle die in that set. Before taping the two rectangles together, I added a 1-1/8" strip of DSP around the Old Olive rectangle. Then the boat image was taped down. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the center of the card.

On my worktable I had found the "Happy Birthday" that looks like it was printed on my computer and punched out using a retired oblong punch.  I thought I'd use it before it got ruined. I added Dimensionals to the back and set it in place on the front of the card about 1/2" from the bottom and 1/4" from the right edge. And that was it, the card was done.

This was a super quick and easy card to make and I was glad I was able to use up some things sitting on my worktable.  It was fun to get two cards done in a short time. I need to get my masculine card stash built up.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's masculine birthday card,
