Surfing Santa & Lazy Christmas Sloth Christmas Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi popping in to share some holiday cards featuring our Surfing Santa Stamps and Lazy Christmas Stamps.

My first card showcases the adorable Surfing Santa Stamps, perfect for tropical Christmas Cards. Whether you live in Florida, Hawaii, Australia, or are just visiting a warm destination over the holidays, sometimes snowy cards just don't fit your circumstances at Christmas time. I paired my Santa Claus with the beach & palm trees backdrop from our Ocean View Stamps, the beach chair from the Kiddie Pool Stamps, and the VW bus and surfboard from the Beach Bus Stamps. I enjoyed keeping things festive for Christmas by coloring the umbrella and lounge chair with red and white candy cane stripes. Lastly, I added the "Happy Holidays" sentiment from the Holiday Greetings Stamps. I love that the script of this greeting has the feel of a vintage postcard when paired with my beach scene.

For my second card, I paired the two sloths, tree branch, ornaments, and stack of gifts from the Lazy Christmas Stamps with the wreath and sloth face from the Christmas Critters Stamps. I lined up three mini scenes, which were framed using our Stitched Small Circle Dies and then matted with red cardstock using the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies. I completed my card by heat-embossing a punny sentiment from the Lazy Christmas set onto an elongated turquoise pennant strip cut with the Notebook Photo Corner Dies.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛

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.

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.

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today. 😊
