Beach Birthday

 

FS988 - this week's featured stamper on splitcoaststampers.com is is Arlene_C. This is my INSPIRATION.

I was inspired by the beach‑beauty theme and reached for this fun Unity Stamp image. She’s stamped in black, the sentiment in pink, and then colored with Copics before being mounted on bright pink cardstock.

For the background, I paired two beach‑themed designer papers and added a strip of rickrack to define the transition between them. A few orange sequins finish the design and echo the warm tones in the patterned paper, tying everything together with a sunny pop of color.

The base layer is a fun textured designer paper and it reminds me of sky which is perfect for this scene.

CAS797 - Sand

For my card, I used several die cuts from Rubberknecker to create the beach scene. I cut out each of the pieces and then tore the tan layer to add the sand for the beach.

I used copics to add a bit of color to the birds then added dimensionals to several layers finishing the card with the Father's Day sentiment.

8th Anniversary

 

IC922 - 1st Dibs - INSPIRATION

For my card I used a Karen Burniston pop up ball and accessories to create the pop-up octopus. I used purples as it was one of the 2 colors in my niece's and nephew's wedding invitations.

Once the octopus was assembled, I added a bow and layered it on the front of the card with the die cut anniversary sentiment.

I created a belly band as this will be given to my niece for her anniversary. She loves all things underwater and since an octopus has 8 legs it is perfect for her 8th anniversary. On the belly band is a piece of seashell that was from an earring my grandmother wore. It is perfect for the box of this card.
