Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration is a beach scene! I wish it would get warm enough around here to go to the beach at the lake…it’s been TOO cool so far!
NOTES & TOTES
I was SO excited to see Stampin’ Up! came out with this Notes & Totes Bundle! Love it! Debbie and I have already done a class tutorial for CSF with it. SO CUTE! But here’s my card inspired by the beach scene inspiration photo! I even used the “newspaper” or iPad die-cut to make my towel!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Cloud Cover cardstock was stamped with the greeting using Poppy Parade Ink in the upper right corner and added to the front.
- A 1-1/2 x 5-1/4 strip of Balmy Blue cardstock was torn across the top and adhered behind a 2-1/2 x 5-1/4 strip of Crumb Cake torn across the top. The Crumb Cake was stamped with the sand image randomly with Crumb Cake Ink.
- Two clouds were cut from Basic White cardstock with the Sunrise Sailing Dies and added to the background along the top.
- The tote was cut from Poppy Parade cardstock and stamped with the hibiscus flower in Poppy Parade Ink randomly.
- The handle and base of the tote were cut from Basic White cardstock and added to the tote. The tote was adhered to the front of the card with Monoadhesive Glue on the tab portions and Stampin’ Dimensionals for the body of the tote.
- The towel was cut with the Newspaper/iPad Die from Mixed Media Designer Paper and the top folded down to hang out of the tote.
- Two bands were cut from Petal Pink cardstock and added as the trim for the towel.
- The sunglasses were cut from Basic White and Basic Black cardstock and adhered together, then added to the handle with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The shell was cut from Cloud Cover and the starfish from Basic White and added next to the toe with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The water bottle was cut from Petal Pink and stamped with a Flirty Flamingo sun, then tucked in the bag.
- A trio of Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems were added to the background.
I think I need to keep this card for my husband’s retirement someday…I know he’d like it! OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
