I started a new challenge for 2025 – the ATC calendar challenge. With a group of crafty friends, we are making a new image on a 4.25×5.5-inch calendar card for each month.

August’s card is made with Simon Says Stamp! dies and papers from it’s July 2025 card kit.

Sandy Dunes Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

I just got the July 2025 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit with the theme of Windows on the World. Using the Landscapes stencil from the kit, made this sand dunes scene Birthday card.

Cardbase: Start with a 4.25 x 11-inch piece of cardstock and fold in half to form a side-fold A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) card.

Stenciled Scene: Using the stencil by sticking the 4.25×5.5-inch white cardstock panel through the water patterns slots, I worked my way from the bottom up to build water waves coming ashore, then the sand dunes and finally the cloudy sky. The water used the two darker shades of blue while the sky used the lightest blue. The stencil includes three birds in flight, which I stenciled on using a fine tipped black marker.

Sentiments:  All the sentiments come from the Through The Window stamp set.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope stenciled with the three birds on the back flap.
