Beach Bus Summer Card Set with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some VW bus-inspired cards for summer using our Beach Bus Stamps.

Sunny Studio Summer Slimline Cards using Beach Bus, Critters on the Go, Sealiously Sweet & Ocean View Clear Craft Stamps Dies

For my first card, I paired the bus and surfboard from the Beach Bus Stamps with the ocean, palm trees, umbrella, and clouds from the Ocean View Stamps, and the seals and punny greeting from the Sealiously Sweet Stamps. I used the car and surfboard to hide the beach chair in the ocean scene and trimmed off the beach umbrella so I could position it higher. I then used the string from our Bold Balloons Stamps to string the flip flops from the Sealiously Sweet set between the palm trees and umbrella as a sort of banner or clothesline.

For my second card, I paired the bus and luggage from the Beach Bus Stamps with the critters on scooters from our Critters on the Go Stamps and the peeking woodland critters from our Truckloads of Love Stamps. To set the scene behind them, I used the grass border from the Picket Fence Dies, which I positioned to cut twice in my die-cutting machine to span the longer length of my 8.5" wide slimline card. I then inked up the grassy portion with Twisted Citron distress ink and the dirt road portion with Antique Linen distress ink. My sky was inked with a light hand of Salty Ocean distress ink, and I added the palm trees from our Tropical Scenes Stamps and Sending Sunshine Stamps. Lastly, I tucked in the clouds from our Tropical Trees Backdrop Dies and stamped a punny greeting from the Critters on the Go set.

Beach Bus Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun card to mark the official start of summer! If people build sandcastles at the beach, then what do mice build at the beach? They build "sandmice", of course! My card features the adorable images from the Beach Bus, Sealiously Sweet, Harvest Mice and Merry Mice sets.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Beach Bus Summer Themed Card by Hanh Nguyen (featuring Sealiously Sweet, Harvest Mice, Merry Mice, Slimline Nature Border Dies, Tropical Trees Backdrop Dies)

I stamped the images from the Beach Bus Stamps, Sealiously Sweet Stamps, Harvest Mice Stamps and Merry Mice Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Beach Bus Dies, Sealiously Sweet Dies, Harvest Mice Dies, and Merry Mice Dies to die cut them out. I also used the Tropical Trees Backdrop Dies to die cut a piece of Neenah cardstock for the scene. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Tree: YG01/03/25/17, E31/33/35
Bus: G000 BG34/15, C1/3, T5/7, Y11, R05
Mice: C00/0/1/3/5, R00/02
Ball: RV00/02/04, G000 BG34/15, C00/1
Surfboard: RV00/02/04/06, C00/1
Sand/Sandmouse: E30/31/33

For the background, I used the Slimline Nature Borders Dies to die cut a piece of clear acetate to make my own cloud stencil. I separated the pieces that I die cut with the Tropical Trees Backdrop Dies. I masked off the bottom half of the large panel. I ink blended a cloudy background with my homemade stencil and some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink. Then, I masked off the cloudy top half of the panel as well as the bottom portion of the panel so as to only expose about a 1/2" strip in the middle of the panel. I inked this strip of the panel with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink. Once the panel was dry, I colored in the sand with Copic markers. I adhered the frame of the backdrop panel to a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5"). I placed the remaining two pieces into the frame like a puzzle.

For the sentiment, I stamped the "Summer" sentiment from the Beach Bus stamps set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used the coordinating Beach Bus Dies to die cut it out. Then I stamped the sub-sentiments "sending" and "vibes" directly onto the panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I adhered the tree, bus and surfboard to the front of the inked panel with liquid adhesive. The sentiment, mice, sandmouse and ball were adhered onto the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. Finally, I adhered the panel to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5").

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card and it inspires you to make and send out some happy snail mail. For more info and ideas, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Have a wonderful and crafty day!
