Hi everyone, it's time for another SUOChallenge and this week I was really excited as the challenge was to use one our favourite suites/bundles from any of the current catalogues! I just had to use one of my absolute favourites, which is from the mini catalogue, so if you like this bundle too then you need to grab it before it goes at the end of June 2022, I'm going to be very sad to see it go, I know it's going to be staying in my stash for a very long time!
It's the amazing 'Seas the day' bundle.
Now I've made this card, not only for this challenge, but also for my eldest grandsons birthday, which happens to be in April, so this is definitely a win win card for me. I get to use one of my favourite bundles and make a cute fun fold card too!
I'm hoping you can see my template for the card, it's really hard to know whats best for helping those that would like to give it a go, hopefully this will help you.
Card measured 10.5cm x A4 (UK size) and I went in on each side at 3cm and on the top and bottom of the card it was 2cm.

--------------- score lines
After having cut and scored my card base, which I did in Pacific Point cardstock, I then cut all of my dsp to the sizes needed (each cut was 3mm smaller than the section measured), I used some of the amazing 'Waves of the Ocean' for mine and attached them all flat on the card base.
I cut myself some basic white pieces and stamped images on to them, and also stamped and die cut lots of the images from the bundle, using Pacific point, calypso coral and coastal cabana ink. Then the fun began assembling it, getting the look I wanted. All I had to remember was that the card could still fold up onto itself to fit in an envelope.

I had so much fun creating this card, the sentiment I used were from the fabulous stampset 'A Grand Kid' which I'm so happy to see carrying over, as I love this stampset it's so useful when you have 5 grandchildren to make for 😊.
I hope you had fun looking at what I created for you all, hopefully you got some inspiration from it and you go and make yourself one, you'll have loads of fun doing it I'm sure!
Now pop over to the SUOChallenge#299 and see what all the other design members have made and maybe join in with the challenge yourself, we love seeing all of the different creations that you all come up with.
Stay well until next time
