Card Series: Beach Treasures

Welcome to another card series- this time I am sharing the Beach Treasures stamp set (which you can purchase with a coordinating thin cut if you prefer to have zero fussy cutting). I love this set and it can work on cards or layouts- who doesn’t spend many a summer day beach side (especially in my part of Canada where we are wedged between two lakes). Our lazy beach days inspired all of these pretty cards.

Hello Weekend card- this one is created with a water-coloured background. I cut out the stitched rectangle and stamped the sand line with toffee ink. I then stamped some of the ‘sand’ pattern in toffee. Over top of that, and the sky, I added some water-colour paints to create my background. Only when very dry did I add my sentiment with black ink.

To create my starfish I stamped in toffee ink (and cut him out using the thin cut set). I think used my toffee ink and ‘smooshed’ it on my all-purpose mat. I added a few drops of water to the ink to create some pooling and dipped my starfish in to create this patterned look.

So grateful card- I love the simplicity of this card. I used my waterbrush and picked up some of the toffee ink from the lid of the stamp pad. I then flicked this ink across the card base. Using a stitched circle as a frame, I added the conch shell which had been coloured with our watercolour pencils. Some gold and white twine finished the look.

Another simple card and this one also uses very little cardstock! The background is random stamped with the seashells in the Beach Treasures set- I then coloured them in with the watercolour pencils. A simple piece of white cardstock was added across the card to hold the sentiment and some gold and white twine finishes it off.

Now what about all these sentiments? These are all from the August stamp of the month: From me to You. It is such a great stamp set!

This set, and all the other items featured on these cards, are available on my SHOP

BUT they all retire soon so don’t delay – August 31st is the LAST day of the current Idea Book.

Card Series featuring “Made for Each Other”

Today marks the start of a new series on my blog- the card series. I would love to say that this will be a weekly series but the reality is that once the school year starts here in Canada it is very difficult to keep up with that. More likely, it will be monthly BUT since I have already completed my first three series you may see more of this over my summer holiday.
