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.
