Good Morning Everyone,
Today’s Royal Blog Hop is all about Sunshine! Hope you are soaking up a little bit of sunshine. Get that Vitamin D. (FYI, in case you didn’t know- Vitamin D has to be taken with food to absorb!)
I used Patchwork Pieces with the flat side down, so ink wouldn’t creep underneath. Here’s the info:
Cutting Instructions:
- A2 card (5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored at 4-1/4 in Thick Basic White
- Basic White cut at 5-3/8 x 4-1/8. this gives the front a bit of elevation
- Cut a piece of Basic White Cardstock a bit bigger than the die so you can eventually cut it to 3 x 4-1/2
- Scrap of Basic White to stamp the sun/wave (2 inch punch)
- Scrap of Cajun Craze for the second Circle (2-3/8 Punch)
Assembly Instructions:
- Tape with sticky note tape (removeable) to the center section making sure it doesn’t cover more than 2 in
- Starting in center, using blending brush, circle from inner to outer with Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Daffodil Delight. Go past the outer edge of the die
- Remove Die and blend a bit in center
- Cut down to just inside of bar all around. That should leave you with a 3 x 4-1/2 inch center.
- Stamp sun/wave and color in with whatever you like. I used Stampin’ Blends in Balmy Blue, Lemon Lolly and light Pumpkin Pie
- Punch a 2-3/8 inch circle with Cajun Craze and paste the sun/wave
- Use dimensionals to center on Rays Background and mount to cardstock 5-3/8 x 4-1/8
- Using dimensionals (strips, whole sheets or rounds) place on A2 card base
this shows the dimension

Thanks Renae, and I’m sorry, lol. This happens to me all the time. Glad you liked it.
Gorgeous card – love the center sun & waves!
Thanks Caroline. It just makes you happy, looking at it, doesn’t it. Course, it’s been so hot, I appreciate the “wave” of water to cool off!
So very pretty! Brilliant use of the die! Thanks for the tip to use them upside down.
You are welcome Sue. I plan to look for others to use too!
Love your card & using die as stencil!
Thanks Marilyn, I’ve been trying to use more of my “stuff”. Finding ways to use the things I have, so I’ve had some surprises!
I never thought to use a die like this. Absolutely brilliant! Your circle image s just perfect!
Thanks Pam, It’s fun to look at old things in a new way!
I love how you’ve sponged right over the die, Jan! Such a bright, beautiful card – takes us right to the beach! ♥
