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. 😊
