Dream Big Dreams!

 Hi BPM Fans!

Here we are in another new month yet again - this year is flying by!

Today I am sharing a Summery card to match our "Beachy Vibes" blog theme this month! 

Of course here in Australia we are coming into Winter and not Summer but I'm still happy to create something that makes me feel warm!

I've combined stamps designed by Pam Bray with some beachy collage squares I came across in my "scraps" container and thought they all worked well together!

Hope you like my card!

Supplies:

Blank Page Muse Stamp:

Blank Page Muse Stamp:

White Card & Ink Sprays 

Scrap Kraft Card

Black Ink Pad

Square Base Card

Beach Themed Collage Squares - Alternatively cut squares from Beach Themed Patterned Cardstock

Embellishments

General: scissors, glue

Instructions:

Start by stamping the surfboard stamp onto white cardstock that has been sprayed with coloured ink sprays and fussy cut. Stamp the sentiment on kraft card and tear out.

Add some glitter glue to the flowers on the surfboard for some added sparkle!

Arrange six collage squares onto one side of the card and adhere. Adhere a piece of hessian to the opposite side.

Add some muslin/gauze scraps along with the surfboard and the sentiment stamp - adhere all the elements.

If you want to add any other beachy embellishments you can. To change the "occasion" of your card add a sentiment that matches - makes a versatile card!

Thanks for joining me today!

Happy Stamping!

Sharon

Adding Partial Dimension

 Hi everyone! Charlotte here, and today I am sharing a card that is almost one layer, with just an added touch of selective dimension. I've shared this technique on another card here on the blog before, which you can find here. This time I have a more summery take on it.

Other materials:

White card base

White card snippet

Black ink

Stamping tool or acrylic block

Alcohol markers
Foam tape (or an action wobbler)

Instructions:

Stamp the Tall Tropical Drink with Umbrella onto the card base and then restamp the umbrella part onto a snippet of white card. Stamp one of the Beach Phrases sentiments onto the card base beside the image.

Using alcohol markers color in the image on the card base. Also add grounding below the image.

Color the umbrella on the snippet of card using the same colors as were used on the umbrella on the card base. Fussy cut the umbrella out.

Place foam tape, or an action wobbler, onto the back of the umbrella and attach it into position on the card base.

I hope you enjoyed my blog post! This design could work really well without the added dimension, as just a one layer card. Adding the dimension to the umbrella just gives a little extra fun, which can really be amped up by using an action wobbler instead of foam tape. I had planned to use a wobbler for my card but I must be out as I could not find them in my stash. I hope you'll give this technique a try, and I'd love to see what you make!
