Welcome to Create with Stamping Friends Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Debbie and I will pick a theme for our simple cards. It’s a new month and July’s theme is “Summer”. Cards that have a represent the warmer temps and longer days…at least here in Ohio!

BEACH DAY
Nothing says summer to me like a day at the beach! I love feeling the sand between my toes and just relaxing with a good book!

- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- The 3 x 4 piece of Crumb Cake was torn in half, then layered on top of a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pool Party cardstock.
- The grasses were stamped with Crumb Cake Ink along the “sand”.
- Three surfboards were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Full of Life 6×6 Designer Paper, then cut with the Beach Day Die. They were added to the sand with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The sun was punched from Lemon Lolly cardstock with the 1-1/2″ Circle Punch (Online Exclusive) and brushed with Daffodil Delight Ink and added to the background.
- The greeting was stamped with Memento Black Ink in the background.
- The seagull was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and cut with the Die and added to the sun with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.
- Three blue Iridescent Adhesive Backed Disks were added to the background.

Reminds me of my boys “surfing” along the edge of the water with their skim boards when they were little! They could do that for HOURS! Check out Debbie’s new Creatively Simple card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
