🌊 Project Highlights 🌊

For this summer-inspired card, I wanted to capture the warm, relaxed vibes of a beach day with bright colors, soft sands, and cheerful elements. The Beach Day Stamp Set and Dies are a dream for mixing and matching beach-themed pieces

☀️ Here’s How I Made It ☀️

Crumb Cake Base: I started with a sturdy Crumb Cake card base – perfect for that sandy, beachy look 🏖️
Blended Background: Using a blending brush, I created a vibrant gradient background starting from Lemon Lolly to Calypso Coral to Balmy Blue and finishing with Azure Afternoon. I love the sunny look it gives the whole card 🌅
Layering Sand Banks: Using the Beach Day dies, I cut four sandbanks from Crumb Cake cardstock. Then, I gently blended along each sandbank edge with Crumb Cake ink and a blending brush to add depth. For the front bank, I embossed the sentiment using Versamark and White Embossing Powder for a crisp, bright finish 🏝️
Creating the Waves: On pieces of Balmy Blue, Misty Moonlight, and Night of Navy, I used the wave die to create three layered waves. Each layer of blue brings in the feeling of being near the refreshing ocean 🌊
Adding the Beach Accessories: I stamped the surfboard, beach umbrella, and deck chair on Basic White cardstock, then colored them in with Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends for a cheerful pop of color. After cutting them out with the dies, I adhered these beach accessories onto the card for a sunny scene that’s all set for summer relaxation 🌞

I hope this project gives you warm inspiration for your next summer crafting session 🏖️ Let’s get out our Beach Day sets and make some sun-filled cards
