Waterfront Catch

 

The 'Waterfront' stamp set is very versatile and helps in making many masculine cards. I wish it wasn't retiring. I paired the stamp set with the 'Evergreen Forest' 3D Embossing Folder.

The trees are stamped using Mossy Meadow and Evening Evergreen. The lighter shade is Evening Evergreen too.... just stamped on a scrap piece of paper and then stamped on the actual paper.

I added Crystal Effects to make the trees shine.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Coastal Waterfront

 

Amanda Bates' card is a beautiful tropical scene.... I wanted to try to capture that for my own card. Now, I know she used different colors than I did on my card.... but her placement of stamps are relatively the same.  Thanks Amanda!

It was a bit hard to get good coloring on my stamps.... to soften the look. Ink the stamp, stamp on a scrap piece of paper, then  stamp on the cardstock. I did that with the water and mountains. I added 'Wink of Stella' to the sun and top of the mountains to give it some sparkle.

Gorgeous Waterfront

 

Oh how I wish we were at the beach right now! LOL!

I LOVE how the 'Waterfront' stamp set provides many options to create wonderful scenes. I know this is a set I will continue to utilize long after it has retired. Glad it's not retired yet though!

I chose to make a beach theme. Since it's a card for my brother... I wanted a more masculine color scheme, too. So, I used the colors Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Coastal Cabana.

For the background, I used the Stone embossing folder. Now that I think on it... I could've used the Coastal Weave embossing folder to give it a more tropical feel.

Waterfront Sail

Ah... to be in the tropics right now! Well, I guess I'll settle for making a card with a tropical feel. I used a sponge roller for the first time to create an ocean. Wow! Works so much better than the sponge daubers I would've used. Next, I added the green mountains. The ones in the distance were stamped off and then onto the card, so that it created some distance. I masked the mountains, so that I could stamp the sun coming up the sky.

I used the sailboat within the 'Sailing Home' stamp set, and then used the coordinating 'Smooth Sailing' dies to cut the image out. I colored the sailboat using Stampin' Blends markers.

The sentiment is from the 'Wonderful Moments' stamp set.

Thanks for taking a quick look!

Waterfront Tide

For a family friend who has been diagnosed with MDS - a form cancer within the bone marrow. He will be in our prayers as he undergoes chemo treatment.

I paired the 'High Tide' stamp set with the 'Waterfront' set on this card. They go well together.

To get the softer look with the mountains and ocean. I used the technique called 'stamping off'. This is achieved by loading the stamp with ink, then stamping on a scrap piece of paper prior to stamping it on the actual paper you are using.

Wooden Waterfront

My nephew is turning 20 today.... a young man -- no longer a teen. He lives in Colorado (my twin sister's son). I wanted to give him a card that reflected where he lives, but still be masculine. I believe I have achieved it here!

The stamp set used here is 'Waterfront' and I paired it with the sentiment stamp from the 'Happy Birthday Gorgeous' set.

The background is from the Wood Textures DSP. The twine is non-SU from my local craft store.

Tide Water

The 'High Tide' stamp set offers many different scenes to create with the different stamps it provides.  Here, I didn't use the lighthouse stamp... just a beautiful coastal (or pond) scene!

I paired this stamp set with the 'Waterfront' stamp set, so that I could utilize a stamp for the sand/ground in Crumb Cake.

I used the sentiment from the stamp set 'Happy Birthday Gorgeous'.

Bubbly Brew

The 'Bubble Over' stamp set and coordinating 'Bottles and Bubbles' framelits are perfect for someone turning 21! Although.... you could make soda pop bottles too!

I also tried using the new 'Glitter and Clear Epoxy Shapes' on the tiny bubbles in the corner. CUTE!

I used a stamp from the 'Waterfront' set to "ground" my bottles.

Sublime Lake

I used several different stamp sets to achieve this card. The frog is from 'You're Sublime', the waterlilies and floral spray are from 'Swan Lake', the water is from 'Waterfront', and the sentiment is from 'Happy Birthday Gorgeous'.

I used a scrap piece of paper to mask the frog so I could position the waterlilies behind him and also to color in the water underneath.

Waterfront Bouquet

I just LOVE this 'Waterfront' stamp set! Such beautiful cards can be created with it! When I saw Jenny Engelke's card (bottom).... I just had to try a sunset one for myself. I changed a few things to make the card my own.

I used a scrap piece of paper... and used the Deco Labels Framelit to create the frame for my sponging.

This card is for my hubby! Happy Birthday Hon! We both LOVE sunsets, so this card is perfect for him! (As he is so perfect for me!). HUGS!

Happy Waterfront

I have seen similar cards where the image is stamped over two layers of paper... and then the first paper is matted on top to make the image stand out! What a great idea with the 'Waterfront' stamp set!

I paired this stamp set with the sentiment from 'Happy Birthday Gorgeous'.

You cannot see it on the photo, but I did add "Wink of Stella" to part of the mountains to make them shimmer.

Waterfront Picture

Wow! This stamp set is very versatile and goes with so many other sets too! I'm talking about the 'Waterfront' stamp set! Today, I made a cabin in the woods with a river scene. How cool is this set!

I used the ground cover stamp several times - overlapping to cover the white cardstock. I did the same for the river.

Waterfront Lake

I really like how this card came together.  I wanted to use the lily pads and dragonfly stamps from the 'Swan Lake' set and pair it with the "water" stamp from 'Waterfront' set.

I colored the images in with my Stampin' Blends markers. Finally, I finished off the piece with the sentiment from the 'Better Together' set.

Waterfront Bouquet

Who would guess that this cherry blossom tree would be created using the 'Beautiful Bouquet' stamp set? How, you ask? Well, I stamped the tree in the center. Then, masking the "trunk", I stamped the top portion of the branches on the left and right making sure it attaches to the trunk of the tree.
I finished the tree my stamping the pink blossoms three times to get a "full bloom" on the tree branches.

I used the 'Waterfront' stamp set to 'ground' the tree as it looked weird just floating there on the paper.
