Seas the Day Card

Last fall I shopped the Customer Yard Sale at Enchanted Cottage in Lewisville, NC and for this card I used two of the items I bought for a dollar each. Here is the card:

Fun card to put together for summertime. For this card I used blue card stock cut and scored at the top. I used a light speckled gray card stock in the stash for the card front panel. I used liquid glue to put the gray card stock piece on the blue base. I used two new-to-me die sets for this card. The first one is from Spellbinders and the red "1" on the front was the price I paid:

The packaging says this was part of the Crate of the Month offering that Spellbinders holds and this was from June 2025. Cute and very easy sailboat to assemble and another good use of scraps.... the second die was also one dollar and it is from Stamps of Life:

Very good deal for one dollar since this is a two piece die set - words and shadow dies included. I cut the shadow out of white card stock and the words out of the matching blue card stock to match the base of the card. Used liquid glue to put those together. I wanted to use a nautical embossing folder for the front of the card but I was not sure what I had in the stash. Looked through my embossing folders and found this folder by Lifestyle Crafts which was bought out by We R Memory Keepers and they are We R Makers now:

I put a piece of black card stock in the folder to show this pattern. I wanted my embossed piece to be white but I did not want it to be a rectangle shape so I used an oval die and cut out an oval. Then I put the oval inside the embossing folder and embossed that. Using two different oval dies I cut out a blue card stock frame to go over my embossed oval piece. I put the frame on the embossed piece using liquid glue.

For the boat I used different card stocks for that and put that together using liquid glue and I also cut out one more boat base piece to put the boat on to give it some dimension for the front of the card. I used foam tape behind my framed oval piece and put that on the card front. Added pop dots behind the "Seas the Day" sentiment for dimension. Here is a side view of this card to show the dimension the foam tape and pop dots give it:

This photo shows the embossing behind the boat:

Easy card to assemble and happy to use more of the stash for the card with the two one dollar additions to the craft room.....

With the completed card I looked through my clear gem stash and found the star gems so I used two red ones with two small red gems for the card front. Always happy to find used items at great prices to add to the stash......
