Beach Buddies Cards with Mayra and Ashley

Hello and happy Monday everyone. Mayra here with you today and I am always happy to be here. I am sharing a fun card using the super, super cute new Beach Buddies stamp set. These cuties are ready for a fun day at the beach. 

I began by die-cutting a large rectangle as the base of the card. I then die cut the Comic Strip frame die from the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles die set. I used the die cut rectangle and square pieces to die cut the sand and water areas for each of the little scenes. I used the Slimline Nature Borders die set for the water and sand layers. 

I added color to the base using Salty Ocean and Broken China Distress Oxide inks. For the water, I used Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch, and Broken China. For the sand, I used Gathered Twigs and Brushed Corduroy Distress Inks. 

Next, I colored the images I would use to create the scenes. I used the smaller tiger, and sun from the Balloon Rides stamp set, the sandcastle and umbrella from the Beach Babies stamp set, the beach ball from the Sealiously Sweet stamp set, and the palm leaves from the Tiki Time stamp set. 

I hope you enjoy the card I created to share with you today. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. I hope you each have a wonderful and blessed day.

Hello friends! It's Ashley today with a card featuring the absolutely adorable Beach Buddies set! The cute little critters from Balloon Rides are back, but in a bigger size with loads of beach and summer items to accessorize with!

I started my card as I often do with an ink blended background. I blended Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink about halfway up a white card base, then added Distress Oxides in Speckled Egg and Peacock Feathers to the other half. This gave me the impression of beach and ocean for the background. I sprayed some water on it, then mopped up the extra with a paper towel. While that dried, I used the Window Quad Square dies on an A2 piece of white cardstock. I then die cut the piece again with the frame from Frilly Frames Stripes and attached the windowed piece to the ink blended base with extra thick foam tape. I used the one from Heffy Doodle, but if you don't have extra thick tape, you can just double up regular foam tape for the same look!

I stamped several images from Beach Buddies along with the crab and starfish from Best Fishes, the beach ball from Sealiously Sweet, and the drinks from Tiki Time in Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink. I colored them all with Copics and added a few white gel pen accents before cutting everything out with the matching dies. I arranged the images in the windows, popping a few up with regular foam tape. The end result is four mini scenes that also work together as one big scene! I finished by stamping a sentiment from Beach Buddies along the bottom. I used black ink for the small words, but brought back the Speckled Egg and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxides for the "summer". 

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Tiki Time & Beach Buddies Cards with Rachel

Hello friends! It's Rachel here with two cards to share with you featuring some fun new stamp sets from the latest release!

My first project is a summer-themed 3D card that features the newly released Tiki Time Stamp Sets. When I first saw that cute little elephant with the luau skirt, I knew that I wanted to create a 3D scene where she could dance the night away lol. I also added a cute crab from the Best Fishes Stamp Set and a palm tree from the Seasonal Trees Stamp Set. All of my images were stamped onto a piece of Neenah White 110lb Card Stock, colored with Copic Markers, and die cut with their coordinating dies.

Copic Colors Used:
Elephant: W00, W1, W3, W5; Pinks: RV00, RV63, RV66, RV66; Greens: YG01, YG06, YG17, YG67; Tiki Hut: E31, E23, E25, E29; Tiki Roof: E50, E51, E53, E55; Fire: Y15, YR07, R27

I created the box portion of my card with a piece of Neenah Desert Storm 80lb Card Stock, a paper trimmer, scissors, scoring board, and adhesive. For my sandy hills, I trimmed some pieces of smooth white card stock and die cut the edges using the Slimline Nature Border Dies. I then blended these pieces with both Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide Inks and added a variety of brown dots for added texture with some Copic Markers. For my background sky, I blended some Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, Tattered Rose, and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Inks.

The best thing about this card is that it can easily fold to fit into a standard A2 sized envelope for shipping! When folded, this card measures at 4.25" x 5.5".

For my second project, I made a collage-style card featuring the newly released Beach Buddies Stamp Set. I combined this set with the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Die Set as well as the Slimline Nature Borders Dies for my beach slope as well as my waves. Once again, I stamped all of my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock, colored them with Copic Markers, and used their coordinating dies to cut them out.

Copic Colors Used: Pinks: RV02, RV04, RV 17, RV66; Oranges: YR02, YR04, YR09; Blues: B0000, B01, B04, B06; Browns: E31, E23, E25, E29; White: 0, C00, C1, C3; Greens: YG01, YG06, YG17

I used the same ink blending for the beach as I did above. For the waves, I die cut them from smooth white card stock and then blended them with both Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Inks. Lastly, I adhered my images

with 3D Foam Adhesive Tape for added dimension.
