Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is Summer Vacation. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

My favorite vacations are in Hawaii, so I began with Seaside Wishes Dies, cutting seashells from Basic White Cardstock and Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper. Then, I used the Seaside Wishes Embossing Folder to emboss the sand dollar, and gave it slight color with Crumb Cake Ink and a Blending Brush.

Seaside Sand Dollars

The seaweed and starfish are from the Beauty of the Deep Stamp Set. The seaweed was stamped in Basic Beige Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and cut with a Seaside Wishes Die. The star fish was stamped in Crumb Cake Ink On Basic Beige Cardstock, and cut with a Beauty of the Deep Die.

The background is Crumb Cake Cardstock, cut with the second largest Deckled Rectangles die, and embossed with the Seaside Wishes Embossing Folder. After  layering it for thickness, I attached it with Dimensionals to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The card base was embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder.

The sentiment, “sometimes the simplest things mean the most,” is from the Seaside Wishes Stamp Set. I stamped it in Crumb Cake Ink on Basic White Cardstock, cut with a Seaside Wishes Die, and colored with Crumb Cake Ink and a Blending Brush. After gluing, and attaching everything, I added three Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls.

Thank you for visiting.
