Hi there Sugar Peeps!!!
It’s time again for the SugarPea Designs Sweet 2 Repeat Hop! This time we are hopping on Instagram! You can join the Design Team starting from my account @tatianacraftandart.
There would be no perfect hop without prizes! Right?! SugarPea Designs are giving away TWO $25 Gift Certificates! So don’t miss a chance to win too!
On my stop for this hop you’ll find a few cuties from wonderful new summer Salty Seagulls and Waves of Love stamp sets. Both sets have the same design and style and are so fun to mix and match. I created a colorful Distress background, inking a piece of paper at an angle with the colors that reminds sea water, and then added an extra finish touch with a small wavy die from Nautical Notions SugarCut.

Key Ingredients:
- Salty Seagulls Stamp Set
- Salty Seagulls SugarCut
- Waves of Love Stamp Set
- Waves of Love SugarCut
- Nautical Notions SugarCut
Step By Step Instructions:
- Die cut from Neenah Solar White paper all the elements you need for your card, using the coordinating Salty Seagulls SugarCut and Waves of Love SugarCut. I used on this project Sizzix Big Shot Die Cutting machine. Save the negative parts of the dies.
- Stamp the outline illustrations from Salty Seagulls Stamp Set and Waves of Love Stamp Set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Use the negative parts of the dies as a guide for a perfect alignment inside the stamping positioning tool.
- Color the stamps with copic markers. I used on this card:
- seagulls/ walrus W00-W1-W3-W5
- wings BG0000-BG70-BG72
- logs YR30-E50-E51-E53-E55-E57
- orange YR61-YR65
- yellow Y00-Y11-Y35
- red R000-R00-R20-R21-R22-R24-R46
- blue B000-B21-B26
- Heat emboss in white onto black the sentiment from Waves of Love Stamp Set.
- Trim and score an extended A2 size card base (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″) from Neenah Solar White paper.
- Trim a piece of Tim Holtz Watercolor cardstock slightly narrower than the card base and ink it with (starting from top):
- Splatter some tiny colorful droplets, a clear shimmer spray and a white gouache all across to add more interest to the pattern. Let the paper air dry or heat set it with a heat gun.
- Die cut three wave lines on the inked background, using Nautical Notions SugarCut. Use a low tack tape to hold the die in place while you ran it inside the die cutting machine.
- Trim a stripe from MFT Black & White Stripes pattern paper.
- Arrange and glue in place all the elements, by popping some of them on a foam tape for a fun dimensional look.
- Finish with a couple of clear sparkling sequins and some highlights added with a white gel pen.
That’s all for today!!! As always thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!!!
