Welcome to our Tech 4 Stampers blog hop. I am part of an amazing group of demonstrators from around the world who are part of a Tech Academy run by the amazing Louise Sims. Her Website School and Tech Academy helps Stampin Up Demonstrators navigate their way around the world of websites and social media. Now many of us have our websites up and running, a blog hop seemed the next logical step. This month the theme is HERE COMES SUMMER.
When I think of summer, then my thoughts always turn towards childhood holidays by the beach. Paddling in the rockpools and collecting shells.
Here Comes Summer – Rest and Relax side easel card
I made this card on a recent Facebook live and thought it would be perfect to share today.
The papers are from the Sand& Sea DSP and have been layered to create a beach and the surf
Add some Linen Thread & then fussy cut the shells from the pretty DSP papers and arrange with a mix of glue and Dimensionals
Finally stamp the sentiment – from the Timeless Tropical stamp set. Fussy cut and add to the card front
You can see how I made this card HERE

Here Comes Summer – Collect beautiful Moments card
For my second card I wanted to play homage to those childhood memories I mentioned earlier.
Following a similar format to the first card I layered the piece of ‘sand’ and the torn ‘sea’ onto a piece of basic white card. Don’t forget to add some Wink of Stella on the torn edge to really accentuate the surf
Next add some Linen Thread and add the layers to the base card of Sahara Sand.
The image from the must have Beautiful Moments is stamped with Memento Ink and coloured with Blends
Once complete die cut the image using the largest label in the Hippo & Friends die set and add to the card using Dimensionals
Finally finish with some Opal Rounds.
Voila!

I love both cards, Sara. Adore both those stamp sets!
Fabulous cards which remind me of lovely holidays shared with my family.
Sand and Sea is a favourite with me and your card is gorgeous, love the fancy fold. Such clever use of the papers on your second beautiful card too!
I couldn’t pick a favourite between these two gorgeous cards Sara – I love the beach inspiration xx
