Classy Cards N Such - Sea Side Fun


Here is a beach card I made for Classy Cards N Such using the Graphic 45 Paper By the Sea.  This pad has so many wonderful beach pictures to choose from when looking for an image for your card or scrapbook page.

I used the lighthouse image for the background from the By The Sea Paper pad.  On the very bottom of the card I torn a piece of light brown card stock and used distress ink on it to make it look like sand.  I fussy cut the children images and popped them up on the card using Joy Foam Pads Small.

The seahorse and the steering wheel were cut using the Impression Obsession Mini Nautical Set.  The shells were made using the Impression Obsession Shell set.  They were sponged also with distress ink.  The blue starfish was cut from So Silk Glamour Green Card Stock.  I had a scrap left over from another card and it was just too pretty to throw away.  I knew I would find a use for it.

For the final step on this card, I made a sailor's knot with thick twine and glue it to the upper corner of my card.

The products in bold print can be found at the Classycards Store.  You may use the code  Shirley - 10  for a 10% discount.  Bev has a sale going on  at the store for 23% off Stampavie and Flourishes stamps.  Head on over and check out the sale.

  10. I love the cards you are making with the G$% paper pad - the scenes are all so cute and nautical at the same time! Love the way you work in those little sea shell dies and the seahorse and wheel look great on the beach with the children. Your nautical knot completes the corner - what a great embellishment for this card! Way to go, Shirley!
