Hey there, crafty friends, Amanda here! Oh, do I have a fun card to share with you today! I LOVE a good beach scene and this one was SO fun to make! Grab your supplies and let’s make this card together!
First, grab a piece of white cardstock and trim it to A2 size (4.25”x5.5”). Then, stamp the beach scene from the Ocean View Stamps. You want to position it leaving enough room at the bottom for the tiki bar and critters. Use the coordinating dies to cut the top of it off. Grab another piece of white cardstock trimmed to A2 size. On this panel, ink blend your sky. I used Oh Boy! from Catherine Pooler Designs.
Next, we’ll take a piece of white cardstock and stamp all of our remaining images. You’ll need the Ocean View, Tiki Time, and Party Pets stamps. We’re ready to color all of our stamped images now! I used Copic markers to color my images, but you could use your favorite coloring medium! I also used a white gel pen to create dots and highlights on the images. Once everything is colored, we can cut them out with their coordinating die sets!
For the sentiment, stamp a piece of black cardstock with the “Happy Birthday” sentiment from the Squirrel Friends stamps with a Wow! embossing pad. Apply white embossing powder to the glue and then melt the powder with a heat gun. Trim the strip with a paper trimmer and use scissors to create a banner end. Now we’re ready to assemble the card!
Glue the blue sky panel to an A2 card base. Apply 3D foam tape behind the beach scene and then add that to the card base.
Next, we’ll use 3D foam squares behind the rest of our images and sentiment. I like to start by placing all the images where I think I want them before removing the backing off the adhesives. Once I have everything placed where I like it, I can start removing the backing and adhering them to the card!
Wasn’t that so fun?! I love a busy scene full of adorable critters, don’t you?! Thanks so much for stopping by the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today! Have a great rest of your week!
