Mother's Day - 2024 - Kitchen Sink Stamps

 Today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design is a simple yet fun fold which allows you to view both the front and the inside of your card once the card is completely open.

The card starts with an 8 1/2 inch by 5 1/2 inch sheet of colored cardstock scored at 2 1/8 inch and 4 1/4 inch.

I then stamped the front and inside panels and attached them to narrow black mats. I placed Score Tape on the left side of the front panel and attached it to the folded back front half of the card. I then attached the inside panel to the right half of the card being sure that it could not be seen when the card was closed.

Images for this design are from the following Kitchen Sink Stamps sets

Iris

Ladybug Hugs

Giant Sunflower

Words 4 Celebrating

Sunny Seas - Kitchen Sink Stamps

The Technique Lovers Challenge at Splitcoaststampers had participants using this tutorial to create an underwater scene with sunlight filtering through to the ocean bottom. So for today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design I have created my scene with images from Giant Coral & Seahorse and Tropical Fish. I also used the SVG cut stencils Big Burst and Layered Fern to create the background using Distress Oxide Inks.
