Beach Buddies Card with Bobbi

Hey everyone, Bobbi here. Guess who is having a pool party this summer? BARBIE!  Wherever you look this season, it's all about Barbie, Ken and the new Barbie movie. I went to see the movie last weekend so I have Barbie on my mind. I made this card featuring the Beach Buddies stamps and dies. Are you ready for some hot pink?! Let's go!

To make this 5" X 7" card, I I started by stamping and die cutting the beach buddies using the coordinating stamps and dies. I colored them using lots of pink! For the accessories, I used the hottest and brightest pinks including Copic colors, RV02, RV04, RV06, RV09, and RV17. I cut the pool using the Swimming Pool dies and three palm trees from the set, Tropical Trees Backdrop Dies.

To create the scene, I attached the pool in the middle of my front panel, blended on some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink for the clouds in the sky above the pool and used a fine-tip black marker and ruler to create the concrete squares around the pool terrace in the foreground. I used Copics in W3 and W1 to add some color to the concrete along with a few black dots for divots in the concrete. I kept it simple to let all the accessories show brightly.

I tucked a few palm trees behind the pool and added a number of hot pink accessories in the foreground. I added the floaties, animals, beach bag, bunny and accessories to the card. I hand cut a beach towel, adding scissor-cut fringe to the edges and stamped hearts on it for a print. I used the sand shovel stamp to make poolside tropical drinks. Barbie loves pink hearts so I stamped a string of hearts between the palm trees and connected them with a black marker. I attached hot pink rhinestone gem stickers to each hanging heart, the heart-shaped sunglasses, the beach bag, the drinks and the "summer sunshine" sentiment for some fun, sparkly, bling. I think this party would be Barbie-approved!

Beach Buddies Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a fun summer card featuring the adorable Beach Buddies Stamps. Summer is my favorite season so making ocean themed/tropical cards is one of my favorite things to do!

This is a mini slimline card (card base is 6 1/4" x 6 1/2", scored on the 6 1/2" side at 3 1/4" and folded in half) and I started by cutting a 3” x 6” panel from white cardstock for the card front. I die-cut a piece of Eclipse masking tape using a Slimline Nature Borders Die and placed the tape across the panel 2 1/4" from the top edge. I then inked a soft sky with Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold and Spun Sugar Distress inks. I stamped the “happy” sentiment 1/2" below the top edge and 3/4" from the left edge.

Next, I masked the sky and tore a ragged edge on a post-it note. I applied the post-it note 1” below the horizon line and inked the sand with Antique Linen Distress ink. Using Speckled Egg Distress ink, I very lightly inked a few inches below the beach and dotted the shoreline with a white gel pen. I also sprinkled a little water on the Speckled Egg area. I then adhered the panel to the card front.

For the waves, I cut 3 pieces of white cardstock (1” x 3 1/4", 2 1/8”x 3 1/4", 2 1/2" x 3 1/4") and die-cut the top edge of each piece using the Catch a Wave Dies. I inked them with Evergreen Bough Distress ink at the bottom blended into Speckled Egg Distress ink towards the top of each wave and sprinkled water on them. Since I tucked the critters behind the waves, I set them aside until I had my critters ready to adhere.

I stamped all the images on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I used the Beach Buddies Stamps/Dies and the Beach Babies Stamps/Dies (umbrella and beach ball). I then adhered the critters and waves to the card front as shown.

To finish, I die-cut a palm tree from the Tropical Trees Backdrop Die from white cardstock, colored it with Copics and adhered it on the beach. I heat embossed the “Summer” sentiment on white cardstock with white embossing powder, inked over it with Kitsch Flamingo Distress ink and fussy cut around it.

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.
