CARDS
You guys. This kit is so cute! If you are an ocean lover, this kit is for you. Who am I kidding? If you are a card maker, this kit is for you! So many gorgeous stamps, sentiments and the add-ons? Adorable! I have to cards to share with you today. This first card is a clean and simple card using the main kit stamp set....
To create this card, I stamped the ocean scene along the bottom of a 4" card panel. When I stamped the darkest part of the horizon, I cut the panel at that point. On the card base, I stamped one layer of a 2 layer cloud image and the little sail boat. I added the ocean scene to the card with fun foam so it would be popped up. I stamped the sentiment in Versamark on a little banner and then heat embossed it. I did a tiny bit of stitching and then added that to the card with foam tape.
I have been on a couple cruises and stamping this amazing ocean scene made me think of being on a ship and looking out on to the horizon. I do love the ocean!

This next card was super fun to make! Of course, for me, clean and simple and anything rainbow is the way to go!
I heat embossed the background stamp called Beachy Bold Prints. And then of course, next I did some ink blending to add the rainbow of colors. I cut the panel down and coordinated it with a white panel, adding fun foam to both panels. I laid them out and stamped the sentiment in the center with my Misti so it was nice and straight. Then I added both panels to the card front. I love the clean and simple and the rainbow! And the flips flops....because I live in those! :)
I hope you have enjoyed my cards today. Check out the giveaway and the full blog hop details below. You're next stop is over to Lydia's blog!
