Stampin' Up! Oceanfront Anniversary Card for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came! We have a theme challenge today and here is what I created for our hop.

I used both!

My card base is 4 1/4"" x 5 1/2 piece of Copper Clay. Cardstock I cut a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock (4" x 5 1/4") and ran it through my embossing machine with the Painted Textures 3D EF BUT only embossing the sides 1" in. I cut a strip of Copper Clay 2023-2025 In Color DSP (2 1/2" x 5 1/2"), sponged it with Copper Clay Ink and adhered it to the Very Vanilla piece, folding 1/4" over the top and securing it with Stampin' Seal+...no glue on the rest of it because I turned it into a flip card!

Next I cut a piece of Copper Clay Cardstock using a Scalloped Contours Die. On another piece of Very Vanilla, I stamped the scene from the Oceanfront Stamp Set and Seaside Bay Stamp Set using Coastal Cabana (ocean), Crumb Cake (sand), Pebbled Path (shells) and Balmy Blue (sky). I cut it out with a Deckled Rectangle Die. I adhered that to the scalloped mat. Then I adhered only the middle section of the mat to the DSP "flap". I stamped the sentiment from the Days to Remember Stamp Set in VersaMark ink and heat embossed it using Copper Embossing Powder. I punched the sentiment out with the Double Oval Punch and the mat with the same punch using Copper Clay Cardstock. I adhered the sentiment to the mat with liquid glue and the left side of the mat to the "flap" with Stampin' Dimensionals.

After this post, I will add birds to the sky but our hop involves only current product and the birds in flight from the High Tide Stamp Set are retired. It did add something to the card, however!

I can't show you the inside because I already wrote in it. But I can tell you what I did. I used the Days to Remember Stamp Set and stamped July 25, 2015 in Copper Clay Ink. Then I printed out a picture of my daughter and her husband's first dance. (They had been sweethearts in junior high and went their own ways until they met again in 2013. They were made for each other!) I made it to fit under the flap and only adhered it with temporary adhesive in case they want to use another photo. I'm happy the 8th anniversary is copper because it worked perfectly for SU's current In Color.

I'm entering my card in the Double D Challenge "The Great Outdoors" and Can You Handle the Pressure "ATG with a Twist of Stars".
