Start The Week Stamping!

Free weekly card making tutorials using Stampin' Up! products.

This week I am using the Whale Done stamp set and matching punch to create this nautical themed card

The spring flowers are blooming and thoughts are turning to holidays! The background to this card reminds me of a beach towel and it's really easy to create.

You will need a piece of Basic White, 14.85cm by 10.5cm, four Basic White strips, 10.5cm by 1cm and five Bermuda Bay strips also 10.5cm by 1cm

Position the rectangle of Basic White in portrait, stick one of the Bermuda Bay strips along the bottom, then add a white strip butted against it. Repeat with the Bermuda Bay then, continue until you have used all the strips.

I then used the largest Deckled Rectangle die to cut it out (13cm by 9.5cm).
