A Little Birthday Paradise: Blue Beach-Themed Birthday Card
Hello everyone – my other daughter also has a birthday in September and the A Little Birthday Paradise: Blue Beach-Themed Birthday Card was her card.
Jess is m beach lover so I always make her a beach themed card. I try to make a card that evokes a calm feeling as her job can be stressful.
Today’s Project
Knowing I wanted a beach theme, I #ShopYourCraftStash and found a collection by 49 and Market. The Summer Porch collection has the perfect pattern paper. I chose a sheet with a beach shore to use for the 2 panels. I cut it strategically so that the front panel would line up with the back panel when the card sat on the counter. The paper did all the work and all I had to add was some shells.
I had several stamp sets I could use for the shells. I stamped them with a tan ink and fussy cut them. This is a fancy fold that I saw online. There were no directions so I played with my template to figure it out.
