It is definitely a good thing when there are stamps which remind you of your happy place. For me that is the beach. Sitting on the beach with friends is perfect and that is what today’s card is about.
Stamps
This small stamped scene reminds me of a peaceful morning on the beach. The fact that this was a really quick card to make is just the icing on the cake. These images are from the Sunkissed stamp set in the Mini Catalog. And the best part is it is an inexpensive set that has wonderful sentiments for any time plus a Christmas sentiment. We tend to forget that there are places who do not have cold weather for Christmas. Although I live in the South, so our Winters are generally not very cold. And I am thankful for that!
All of these images were stamped using Early Espresso Ink. Leaving the chairs without additional color was a bit difficult for me since I love to color. But it works and it made the card much faster to make. Adding the touches of the Tahitian Tide helps to make the hat and umbrella pop. The seagull was fussy cut and added to fill in for a sentiment layer.
Paper
A star of this card is obviously the Glimmer Paper. This is a piece from the In Color Glimmer Paper and is the Tahitian Tide piece. It really mimics the sky and water so fits perfectly with my beach theme. And the card base is Crumb Cake for the sand. This card is a 4 X 4 card, which makes it a great one to make multiples of. Quick and easy is the way to go for multiple card making.
Punch
To create the edging on the beach scene was so easy with the new Trio Punch. It is in the Mini Catalog and named the Very Best Trio Punch. And it pairs with an awesome sentiment set named Very Best Occasions. There are great every day sentiments as well as some Christmas sentiments in this set. As soon as I saw this bundle, I knew it was coming to my house. And this detail for a layer is so pretty that it does not require a layer under it.
