Falling In Love At The Beach | Valentine's Day Card | Beach Card

 

Hey y'all.  So, the holidays are over.  Time to put those Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Year stamps to the side and make cards for love - falling in love at the beach this summer,  an anniversary, maybe a wedding, or for Valentine's Day.  

Summer is right around the corner and lots of people will fall in love at the beach this year so...let's make a card to celebrate summer love.  I used Love Harlequin as my background and Stays At The Beach as my focal image.  I also had a stash of adhesive hearts that went perfectly with the card. 

Let's make the card...

  • I made a top-folding A2 card using red cardstock.
  • I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die and adhered it to the inside of the card for a message.
  • I stamped Love Harlequin on white cardstock, die-cut it using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die, adhered a piece of fun foam to the back, and then adhered it to the card front.
  • Next, I stamped Stays at the Beach, die-cut it using a circle die, colored in the image, adhered a piece of fun foam to the back, and then to the card front.  
  • Lastly, I adhered glossy accents to the water droplets near the hears, and the adhesive hearts to the background image.

This Too Shall Pass

 


A friend from my book club is in need of some cheering up, so I thought this funny bookmark would do the trick.  I stamped the Woman Waiting Panel on cream cardstock and added the front and back sentiments from Inside Out: Live Forever.  Mounted on gold cardstock, encased in clear packing tape and added ribbons for the pulls.  Get these fun stamps at techniquejunkies.com and use my code TJ10FAITH for 10% off your order!
