Stampin' Up Oceanfront Quick and Easy

Stampin’ Up Oceanfront Quick and Easy

Hello Everyone – I did another sunset and this set makes a Stampin’ Up Oceanfront Quick and Easy card.

Being at the beach this week has given me lots of inspiration. The card was quick and easy as the stamps do all the work.

Look at this beautiful card. Can you image yourself sitting on the beach and seeing this sunset? Make sure you check out the details for this Stampin' Up Oceanfront Quick and Easy card.

Our focus this month is the Oceanfront stamp set for our blog hop. Vicky and I are having fun playing with this set.

This stamp set has some great images and you can make lots of different scenes with it.

Look at how I used sponging to create the sunset on this card.

I used the same idea to decorate the inside of the card and the envelope.

I used the sunset on the card front to mimic this smaller version for the inside of the card and envelope. Don't miss seeing the sunset on the card front. Check out the details for this Stampin' Up Oceanfront Quick and Easy card.

In case you missed it, on this card I added a sun for the sunset. This one reminds me of the beach we were at today.

Make sure you check out Vicky’s project to see what she did with the Oceanfront stamp set.
