Waterside Resort, Masculine Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have another masculine card I found on Pinterest. You can see the original card by clicking here. I did change it a bit. Please read on to see how the card was made.

The base of the 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 Cajun Craze for the largest layer. 

The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from the "Waterside Resort" 12" x 12" package. I cut a. 3-3/4" x 5" piece and taped it to the front of the card. I could have cut it at 2-1/4" x 5" but I just decided to use the whole piece. 

I cut a 1-5/8" x 5" piece of Basic White card stock and scrubbed on some Pool Party ink on using a blending brush. I taped that piece on top of the DSP. I taped mine on the left side because I wanted the Cajun Craze lifesaver to show instead of covering it.

I took a 1/4" x 5" piece of Pool Party card stock and taped it where the Basic White piece and DSP met.

Three life jackets were fussy cut for the left side. I set them in place using Dimensionals/

The words were done on my computer and I have a bunch of them that I had printed and die cut and set aside (and recently found them!). I took the scrap that came from trimming a quarter sheet of Cajun Craze and taped it to the back of the word piece on the top and bottom and I trimmed the ends to match the angle of the word piece. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the front of the card.

I had some colored raindrops/dewdrops and glued them to the left side of the card and the card was done.

This was a fun and very quick card to make. I thought it was such a nice looking card and I just had to make one.

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