Little Bits Tall Beach Card | Stamping Bella

Today I am sharing a tutorial on a tall beach scene card, both here and on the Stamping Bella Blog, featuring 3 of the Little Bits stamp sets and the Summer Sentiments set. 

Supplies:

Little Bits Umbrella Set rubber stamps and coordinating dies

Little Bits Surfer Set rubber stamps and coordinating dies

Little Bits Ice Cream and Lemonade Set rubber stamps and coordinating dies

Summer Sentiments Set

White card

Distress oxide inks

Border dies

Waves stencil

Adhesive and foam tape/dots

How to:

Cut one piece of card measuring 8.25" x 8.25" (210mm x 210mm) and two pieces measuring 4" x 8 1/8" (100mm x 205mm)

Fold the 8.25" x 8.25" (210mm x 210mm) piece in half to make a tall card base. Crease well with a bone folder.

Taking one for the 4" x 8 1/8" (100mm x 205mm) pieces and some border dies, cut out panels to use as grass and sand. You need one for the grass and two to three pieces for the beach/sand.

Using distress oxides, blend mowed lawn and twisted citrus for the grass.

Antique linen and gathered twigs for the sand/beach. 

Layer the inked pieces onto the other 4" x 8 1/8" (100mm x 205mm) piece to get an idea of how much inking to do for the sea. There is no need to ink the whole piece. Do not stick them down.

Apply Tumbled glass ink to the 4" x 8 1/8" (100mm x 205mm) piece, only as far down as necessary.

Position the stencil over it and apply Broken China. Remove the stencil and reapply Tumbled glass over it to blend in the 'waves' more.

Adhere all the pieces down. The easiest way to do this is to layer all the pieces without gluing them down. Using one hand to keep the layers in place, slide out each one starting at the top, apply wet glue, and slide it back into it's place before removing the piece beneath it.

Adhere the card front onto the base

Stamp all the images onto white card and colour using your desired medium

Cut the image out using the coordinating CUT-IT-OUT dies or fussy cut them with a precision scissors.

Stamp the "Life's a Beach" sentiment from the Summer Sentiment Set onto white card and cut in half

Adhere all the images and the sentiment to the front of the card, popping the images up on foam tape.

The Good Egg Chicks Easter Baskets | Stamping Bella DT

Hi! Today I have a tutorial which is also shared on the Stamping Bella Blog. 

I made these cute little Easter baskets featuring The Good Egg Chicks to give to my kiddos at Easter but they already spotted them and ate all the chocolate eggs and bunnies. So now they're getting empty baskets for Easter, lol. 

Supplies:

The Good Egg Chicks rubber stamps

The Good Egg Chicks CUT-IT-OUT Dies

Heavy double sided paper

Circle and scalloped circle Dies

White ribbon

Stapler

Double sided tape and foam tape/dots

How to:

For each basket, cut a piece of 6" x 6" heavy double sided paper. Score at 1 7/8" and 4 1/8" on one side.

Flip 90 degrees and score at 1 7/8" and 4 1/8" again. 

Leaving the paper in the same position, score down to the 1 7/8" scoreline at 5/8", 1.25", 4.75" and 5 3/8". Flip the paper 180 degrees and, again, score down to the 1 7/8" scoreline at 5/8", 1.25", 4.75" and 5 3/8"

Using the embossing tool, make a little notch at the 3" mark, both top and bottom.

Take a scissors and cut all the scorelines on each of the four corners, as shown. 

Cut from the 3" notch you made on the top and bottom, diagonally down to the 1 7/8" scorelines, as shown

Fold all the scorelines to loosen the paper. To make the basket shape, take the outside strips first and fold them so they meet, then take the middle strips and fold them in, then finally the inside strips.

Fold up the triangle and staple  to secure them. Alternatively, you can use a dab of wet glue on the strips and the triangle.

Repeat on the other side.

To make the handle, cut a strip of paper 0.75" x 7" and run it over a bone folder to curl it.

Apply a piece of double sided tape to each end, on the side that will be facing out

Before the handle is attached, punch tow 1.5" circles from coordinating paper. Fold them in half and crease with a bone folder.

Apply wet glue on the inside front and back of the circle and adhere over the sides of the basket, covering the staples.

Adhere the handle to the inside edges of the basket.

Stamp The Good Egg Chicks onto white card and colour using your desired medium. Cut out using the CUT-IT-OUT Dies or fussy cut with a precision scissors. 

For each basket, cut a 2" scalloped circle from white card and a 1.75" stitched circle from paper.

Adhere the paper to the scalloped circle and then layer on the Chicks using foam tape/dots.

Adhere the circle to the side of the basket, leaving about 1/3 of it above the basket edge.

Tie some white ribbon in a bow around the handle and slide it down behind the scalloped circle. Fill the baskets with chocolate eggs or bunnies.
