On the Beach

Hi All,

On my last post, we were on an underwater adventure.  Today, we're lounging on the beach.  Oh what I wouldn't give to be on a tropical island right now.  The beach is one of my favorite places to be.

This card uses the Waterfront stamp set.  It can be used to create a beach or a mountain scene.  I, of course, chose the beach scene.

Item# 146386 Waterfront $17.00

As you can see, there are quite a few stamps in this set.  That only means lots of more options for combining images to create a fun little scene. 

The background was created by embossing with the Seaside embossing folder.  It makes perfect little waves.

I still need to play around with this one to create a mountain scene, but I'm loving the beach scenes so far...and these sentiments are just great!  If you'd like to add these or any other products to your collection, click on the 'Order Online' icon in the top right-hand corner or pop me an email.

Under the Sea

Hi All,

Living in Arizona, the closest we get to underwater adventures is when we head towards the ocean once a year for vacation.  Our favorite underwater spot: St. John, one of Virgin Islands in the Caribbean.  It has the absolute best snorkeling and some gorgeous beaches. But, who says we can't share a bit of the ocean year-round?

I saw this card by Jacque Williams and just had to recreate it.  I love the colors and the serenity that this underwater scene creates.  I actually created this card for a workshop, but found the little fish to be quite tedious, so I switched it up to the following:

I think the octopus is just as cute and a great addition.  He fits perfectly behind all of the coral.

Item# 146488 Sea of Textures $20.00

The stamp set not only offers the octopus and coral, but it also offers some background stamps as well.

Item# 148358 Sea of Textures Bundle $45.00

You can also Bundle it together with the Framelits.  These allow you die cut the octopus, coral, sand dollars, fish net and the cute little fish.  The sand dollars are truly adorable!!!

Item# 141481 Seaside $8.50

If you love the ocean, this Bundle is a must!  The scenes you could create with it are endless.  Use them on a card or in a shadow box.  If you'd like to add this or any other products to your collection, click the 'Order Online' icon in the top right-hand corner.  Thanks for stopping by!
