Stampin' Up Oceanfront Sunset - Creations in Paper

Stampin’ Up Oceanfront Sunset

Hello Everyone – I have another idea with today’s card – Stampin’ Up Oceanfront Sunset – to show how versatile this stamp set is.

I have seen a number of beautiful sunsets while at the beach. Today’s card reminds me of many of those colorful sunsets.

Have you ever seen a sunset at the beach? It is beautiful! I used that idea for this Stampin' Up Oceanfront Sunset card. Are you ready to go to the beach?

This month Vicky and I are going to focus on the Oceanfront stamp set for our blog hop.

This stamp set will carry over to the new 2022 – 2023 Annual catalog. If you love beach cards you need to get this set.

Check out how I used the stamps to create a mini version of the shoreline for the inside of the card and envelope.

I used a mini version of the sunset from the card front to decorate the inside of the card and envelope. Don't miss all the details for the Stampin' Up Oceanfront Sunset card.

I have used a number of product to create sunsets. This card uses the Rainbow Glimmer paper to mimic a sunset. Did you see this card I posted a few days ago with another idea for a shoreline?

Did you check out Vicky’s idea using this stamp set?
