Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Blog Hop

Beach Party Theme!

Good morning! It’s a Beach Party kind of day for our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Stamping Friends this week. Stampin’ Up! has some great bundles that worked so well for my card. Take a peek:

I used the Relaxing Waterside Bundle and the Splash & Relax Bundle to create this neat beach scenery. The layer with all of the printed birds is from the Waterside Retreat Designer Paper:

Stampin’ Up! Products Used:

• Stamps: Relaxing Waterside, Splash & Relax
• Inks: Pretty Peacock, Basic Gray, Crisp Cantaloupe
• Cardstock: Pretty Peacock, Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake, Crisp Cantaloupe, Cloud Cover, Smoky Slate

• Layer 4: Crumb Cake Cardstock 5-1/4 x 1-3/4. Tear one long side in different heights. Glue the Pecan Pie torn layer to the top of the crumb cake layer so it peeks out. Glue the designer paper even at the bottom.
