It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  This week our theme is “Beach Time”.  With the weather FINALLY warming up in Ohio, it is time to think about a trip to the beach!

NOTES & TOTES

This bundle was one of the first to jump into my shopping cart!  SO cute!  My Stamp Class made this card last month and they loved it!

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Basic Beige cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Summer Splash was embossed with the Soft Waves Embossing Folder and added to the front.
• A 2-1/2 x 4 piece of Crumb Cake cardstock was torn across the top, then stamped with the “sand” image randomly over the entire piece with Crumb Cake Ink.  The greeting from Notes & Totes was stamped with Misty Moonlight Ink.
• The tote was cut with the Die from 3 x 4-3/4 Florals in Bloom DSP and folded on the scorelines.
• The handle, bands, base and sunglasses were cut with the Dies from Misty Moonlight cardstock and added to the front of the tote.
• The rim of the sunglasses, starfish and bottle were cut from Timid Tiger cardstock with the Die.  The sunglasses were adhered together and the bottle was stamped with the sun in Timid Tiger Ink.  Just the top of the bottle was cut again from Basic White cardstock and trimmed, then adhered to the Timid Tiger bottle top.
• All pieces were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Two orange 2025-27 In Color Flat Pearls were added to the starfish and sun on the bottle.

Love it!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
