Welcome to my weekly Wednesday post.

Usually I will try to share the latest Stampin’ Up! news with you – however, if I am scheduling posts in advance I won’t be able to do that. When that happens, I will share updates with you directly on my Facebook business page.

That will definitely need ot happen soon – Rob & I are heading off for a 10 week overseas holiday on April 18th. MY goal, at the moment, is to try and create as many projects and schedule posts, so that while I am away, I can still share with you. Fingers-crossed I can achieve this goal!

For today, I have another Beach Day Bundle project to share with you.

For this card I have created a similar Crumb Cake beach scene with Pecan Pie colour flecks.

This layer was adhered to the Blueberry Bushel card base.

Then I added two palm trees – Pecan Pie trunk and Garden Green fronds.

I added clouds that I cut using the Hot Air Balloon Dies and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop them up on the card front.

The seagulls were stamped and cut before adding them to the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the surfboard image across several ieces of the Bright & Beautiful 6″x 6″ DSP and then die cut them. Five were adhered to the card front and one each were adhered to the card insert and the back of the envelope.

Finally, I stamped the greeting and trimmed it into sections before adding it to the card front.

Tomorrow I have both a technique card and 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

This week I am showcasing the Beach Day Bundle.

For 35 years Ilived a five minute walk from Kelly’s Beach, Bargara. Bargara is a coastal township that is a 15 minute drive from Bundaberg, Queensland.

In Australia, most beaches are patrolled by Australian Surf Life Saving life savers. These amazing people are volunteers. Their observation ‘towers’ are quite different to the style in this stamp set. The image below is from Kurrawa Beach, on the Gold Coast.

Here is my first project using this bundle.

This card is all about sand, sea and surf life saving.

I started with the Bright & Beautiful 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper and found this wonderful blue background paper.

Then I used the wavy die, from the Beach Day Dies collection, to cut two beach layers. These were cut from Crumb Cake card and then I used the Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends to add flecks of colour to the card.

I layered these two beach elements using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using the wave die, I cut the white waves element to add to the card front.

After combining the sand, waves and sky layers to the card base, I was ready to add the decorative elements.

I stamped, coloured and die cut the beach hut. Then I stamped and cut the surfboard, from a piece of the DSP.

The sandcastles were stamped and cut, as were the seagulls.

The palm tree was cut from card stock and adhered together.

Each of these elements were then adhered to the card front using adhesive and dimensionals, creating layers to the card front.

The greeting was stamped, trimmed and added to the card front, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finally, I stamped and cut two more surfboards and added them to the card insert and envelope.

Tomorrow I will share a technique inspired project with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
