Hello everyone, Kim L. here today for ScraPerfect. Today, I am sharing a card that I made in honor of summer approaching. Thoughts of the beach and summer days spent there inspired this project. I hope you like it!
I began this card by securing the striped card stock to my card base with the Best Glue Ever. I also have a large No Clog Writing Cap on my glue bottle. It helps reduce waste by providing more control and you only need a tiny amount and the stick is fantastic!
I made an large embellishment for the top of my card by attaching a piece of card stock from the Graphic 45 collection called Sun Kissed to a piece of ribbon. I used foam tape on the back of the card stock for dimension, and secured the ribbon to my card with glue dots made from the
Best Glue Ever. I added some coordinating orange sequin trim to the sides of my card stock as well.
Three royal blue sequins were added to both sides also and I added clear crystal stickles from my stash to the beach image.
For the middle of my card I cut out two flags from the same paper collection and attached them to the card next to each other with the Best Glue Ever. I added a blue sequin at the points of each flag for interest, and placed them perfectly by using Embellie Gellie I used a 2 and a half inch circle punch and punched out a circle from some jellyfish paper from my stash. Using a distress ink pad, I stamped my sentiment, which reads ” a perfect vacation”. Finishing my card off, I used glue dots made from the Best Glue Ever to secure two small shells and a piece of sea stone to my card.
Making this card has made me want to go to the beach and have a perfect vacation myself! I hope it has inspired you to dream of the beach and create something beachy too. It was easy with the help of the products from ScraPerfect. Please take a moment and follow us on social media. To see more of my work, please follow my blog Vintage Rose Creations by Kim.
Until Next Time,
