Daffodil Delight: Sunset Coast Anniversary card

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instagram Hop. You can follow us on Instagram starting @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 20 – Daffodil Delight

Daffodil Delight is perfect colour for the sun, so that was my starting point this week. As I’m loving the Scenic Coast Specialty DSP and the Sunset Coast Bundle, these were perfect for my card this week.

When we were in Hawaii many years ago, I loved being down at the beach at sunset and this card mimics one of my photos and brought back wonderful memories.

I die cut the largest die from the Scalloped Christmas Cheer dies from Basic White card. I cut down a piece of the Specialty DSP to fit in the centre. The sun die is cut from Daffodil Delight card and then trimmed down. This was glued to the card and then the extra tops of the rays were trimmed further to the edge of the card.

The boat is die cut in Gorgeous Grape card and the birds were die cut from the left over pieces of the DSP (reverse side). I stamped the sentiment at the bottom in Gorgeous Grape ink. I adhered this onto a Thick Basic white card base, that was cut down to 9.5cm x 26cm, scored at 13cm so it didn’t show behind the scalloped card front.

I didn’t want to throw out the centre die cut pieces from the sun rays, so I adhered these inside the card. Over the weekend, I had my Hot Foiling System (HFS) out and did quite a few of the sentiments from various sets to ‘have on hand’. And not to waste the leftover Foil, I used the Reverse Hot Foil Die to add them onto Smooth Foiling Specialty Paper and then cut them out with the coordinating die – two for one!!!!

The Classic Greetings Hot Foil dies was perfect for my sun.

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join us next week for Darling Duckling.
