Happy Friday Eve! The Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop team were given a color challenge this week, using many of the upcoming In Colors. I decided to use Stampin’ Up Notes & Totes Bundle to create this fun beachy theme card.

Here is this weeks challenge:

I stamped sand from Stampin’ Up Notes & Totes Stamp Set with Pecan Pie ink on a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock in a random fashion. I torn the cardstock to create a rough edge. I blended Pecan Pie ink onto the edge. I adhered the strip to a Cloud Cover panel to create the card front.

Using Stampin’ Up Notes & Totes Dies, I cut a piece of Petunia Pop, Secret Sea, Timid Tiger, and Darling Duck cardstock. I die cut a piece of Stampin’ Up Florals In Bloom DSP as well. I used the die cuts to create the tote bag, sunglasses, water bottle, shell and starfish.

I cut a strip of DSP. I rolled the DSP strip to create a towel for my bag. I cut a piece of DSP to create an e-reader cover to put in the bag. I put the sunglasses and waterbottle in the bag as well. I adhered the bag with it’s content to the card front as well as the seashell and starfish.

I stamped the sentiment from Stampin’ Up Notes & Totes Stamp Set with Secret Sea ink on a piece of Basic White. I die cut the sentiment with Stampin’ Up Perennial Postage Dies. I adhered the die cut to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered the card front to a Secret Sea card base. I finished the front off with a couple 2025-27 In Color Flat Pearls.

The inside is a panel of Basic White card stock adhered to a Petunia Pop mat prior to adhering to the card base.

Thanks so much for hopping by! Up next is Terry Lynn.
