Hello there! Thank you for joining me today for Stampin’ Up! Only Challenge #398, where we have a spring color challenge for you and hope that you join us!
I’m using several new products from the May 5 through August 31 Catalog of the Splash & Relax Bundle with the Phrases & Frames Dies, all of which have been very fun to play with, with some heat embossing, embossed image panel, and Crumb Cake Frame. The images can be 1, 2 or 3-step stamped, as shown with the Pretty In Pink lifebuoy. There are so many beach-themed stamps and die-cuts in this summer bundle.
Boat season is coming and I can’t wait to spend the weekends on the lake with friends. We went out a week ago Sunday and had such a great time in the 90 degree weather telling stories, laughing, and jumpstarting the tan … and yes, there are beaches in Missouri.
This was a really easy card to make. I brought in the neutrals of Crumb Cake and Basic Black, which are entirely appropriate with a color challenge. Fortunately, we have 10 colors that are in our neutral color family.
I have a Crumb Cake card base with a Basic White Regular CS panel embossed with the So Swirly EF to mimic waves. My frame was cut from Crumb Cake CS with a Phrases & Frames die and adhered to the card base.
The lifebuoys were stamped in Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink, and Lemon Lolly using 3 images from the Splash & Relax stamp set, die-cut from their coordinating Splash & Relax Dies, and adhered to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The sentiment was stamped in Versamark and white powder heat embossed onto a strip of Crumb Cake CS that was adhered to the card base with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Lastly, 6 small and large Neutral Mat Dots were used to embellish.
Thank you for stopping by today and I will see you Thursday-ish with a fun unboxing and putting together the May – August 2026 new products.
Have a great day and thank you for stopping by! I’m still tweaking and navigating myself around learning this new blog template. Thank you for your patience and please reach out to me if you have any questions.
All of the supplies used are mentioned above with the basics, such as adhesive, Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Versamark, embossing powder, heat tool, Stampin’ Positioning Tool, and Paper Trimmer.
