#SU! Seas the Day Paper-Pieced Shaker Card

Have you ever purchased a stamp set or stamp bundle and not gotten around to using it? I'd love to say that never happens to me, but...

That is the case for this fun bundle, Seas the Day! As I've mentioned before this past spring had some unexpected bumps for our family in addition to big things that we did plan. So, needless to say I didn't spend as much time in my stamp room as I'd hoped to. 

With the January-June Mini catalog on it's way out, I pulled out this fun bundle and oh, my! What a fun bundle it is, and I'm so sad that it won't be sticking around.


While working on designing a card, it seemed to be almost asking to be a shaker card. And I just didn't like a single-color front. So, I added a paper-pieced front to incorporate more color.

Back on December 15th of 2020, I made a similar shaker card using the Snowman Season bundle.

I hope you'll watch my assembly video where I share tips and tricks learned from this process. 


As promised in the video, here are the measurements:

Basic White Thick cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored along the 8-1/2" side at 4-1/4"

Basic White cardstock: 3-7/8" x 5-1/8"; 1" x 1-1/2"; scraps large enough to stamp fish, crab/starfish

Coastal Cabana cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4", cut using the water-scene die

Granny Apple Green cardstock: 4" x 5-1/4", cut using the water-scene die just enough so all the sea-weed are cut; 1-1/8" x 1-5/8" (for layering under the greeting)

Calypso Coral cardstock: 4" x 2", cut using the water-scene die just enough so the coral gets cut

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2". With simple scoring and folding, it goes together very quickly. Another demonstrator had shared the calendar file that is printed onto printer paper and cut to size. All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...
