Ever look at a simple stamp and think, “That’s just the cutest thing ever!” Well that’s how I felt when I saw the adorable flip flop stamp from the Scrapping For Less exclusive “At the Beach Sentiments” stamp set from the “At the Beach” full Banana Split June Card Kit<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n To keep these adorable flip flops the main focal point of the card, I divided up the card front into sections lightly with a pencil to create a grid. Then I stamped the flip flops repeatedly in an offset grid to create my own patterned paper. I wanted to create a sun-shiny card, so I stuck with warm buff, yellow, peach and coral colors and used the following Copics to color up the entire card front: E 50, E51, E53, Y00, Y11, R12, R22, and R35.<\/p>\n To add a bit of interest and soften the colors of the center part of the card, I cut a 3.25″ x 4.5″ piece of vellum to layer over the center of the card. Then to figure out a way to secure the vellum to the card front, I heat embossed the sentiment “Let’s head to the beach!” from the same stamp set two times using VersaMark Ink and Ranger Super Fine White Embossing Powder onto a strip of black card stock. I positioned that sentiment strip across the whole card front about 1\/3 of the way up from the bottom, overlapping both the vellum and the card front, and I was able to hide a lot of glue behind the whole strip. Then to hide the areas where I tacked down the vellum while adding some sparkle to the card, I sprinkled clear, yellow and coral sequins as well as dark coral Carta Bella Enamel Dots in the open spaces between the flip flop images.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n For the inside of the card, I used a scrap of yellow card stock and stamped another sentiment from the stamp set, “Sandy toes, take away the woes.” I also stamped out an additional set of flip flops in the lower left corner and colored it up the same way I did the flip flops on the card front to finish off the card liner.<\/p>\n Click the following picture to watch a process video of crafting this summertime card:<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n This card is being entered into the following challenges:
