Ann used the Distress Oxide Spray and Distress Spray Stain to make the background. She used an AALL & CREATE Sea Essentials stamp set for the focus

Andrea made a notebook celebrating happy family memories at the beach and the peace that she finds from the ocean. She used Seth Apter’s Mini Page Duo die set and his Paper Cutz #2 die set. She added some fun red polka dots using Tim Holtz’s Psychedelic Grunge stamp set.

Anna-Karin made a mixed media mini canvas and created a small beach scene. The clouds were die cut and embossed with Simon Says Stamp Heart Showers Embossing Folder and Cutting Dies. The little hearts were die cut with Simon Says Stamp Drawn Hearts and the sentiment is from the Be Your Beautiful Self stamps set.

Barbara created a summer card using the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Stone stencil along with the Ranger Distress Texture Paste White Opaque and colored it with various Ranger Distress Ink Pads. In the center is a photo taken from the Idea-ology Snapshots Volume 2 pack. The seahorse and underwater flora are from the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Sea Life 304 set paired with the Simon Says Stamp Wafer Dies sss304.

Cheiron created a simple beach scene using Concord & 9th Beach Day stamps and dies. She created the sand by roughing up some Neenah Desert Storm cardstock and then stamped a background of birds using Powder Ink. She finished her card with a sentiment stamped in Nocturne Black Versafine Clair ink.

Emma made a vintage style card using the brand new Simon Says Stamp/Tim Holtz Co-Ordinating Die and Stamp set, Sea Life. She stamped the image of the lobster and then watercolored this with Distress Watercolor Pencils, before layering it on a background, created using the Ticking and Grain stamp set.

Maura‘s son gabe her a wine bottle shaped like a lighthouse to alter for his birthday. She mixed steampunk and beach in creating this, and used Tim Holtz Bubbles, Tim Holtz Gears, and Finnabair Honey Metallic Wax.

Meihsia was inspired to create a card using Studio Light Flowers Essentials Die-Cut Paper Pad the background, and decorated it with Prima Marketing Palette Blooms Homegrown Flowers and Waffle Flower Beach Tote Dies.
