Good morning, y’all – welcome to another edition of the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team blog hop! Each month we make projects centered around a theme – and this month our theme is Birthday! Be sure to check out everyone’s projects – we’ve got a bunch of talented ladies hopping with us this month!
We’ve got a fun new bundle coming in the Online Exclusives going live on 3 March – it’s the Rolling Waves bundle! I used it – and some Beach Boardwalk DSP (in the Jan-Apr 2026 Mini Catalog) to make today’s beachy birthday card. Take a look-see:
This is a sorta souped up CASE of a card I saw from Stampin’ Up! 🙂
I started by stamping a 2 1/4″ x 3 7/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock with the large water image from Rolling Waves once in Summer Splash ink and a second time – above the first image – in Pool Party ink.
Using a die from the set, I cut out the middle waves die cut from a 3 7/8″ wide piece of Pool Party Pastels Shimmer Specialty Paper. Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the ‘waves” to the stamped Basic White cardstock.
I used a second die from the set to cut out some “foam” from a 3 7/8″ wide piece of Basic White cardstock – then I adhered that to the top of the panel with Liquid Glue.
Using the “sand” image in the Rolling Waves stamp set, I stamped it a bunch of times across a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Crumb Cake cardstock in Crumb Cake ink. Some I stamped full strength and some I stamped a second (or even third!) time without re-inking.
Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the “beach” to the panel – aligning the sides and the bottom edge.
I used the die in the set to cut out some Basic Beige shells, five of which I slid under and onto the foamy leading edge of the wave – adhering them with Liquid Glue.
From a piece of Beach Boardwalk DSP, I cut out two 1″ x 1 1/2″ pieces. Using Scissors, I snipped “fringe” in both ends to make them into beach Towels.
I adhered the “towels” to the card front with Liquid Glue.
Using the two dies in the Rolling Waves set – I cut out two solid umbrellas from Basic White cardstock. I cut out stripes (with the second die) from Timid Tiger and Strawberry Slush cardstock. I adhered them to the white umbrellas with Liquid Glue. Then I adhered the top center panel with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
I adhered the umbrellas to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On a 5/8″ x 2 1/4″ strip of Basic Beige cardstock, I stamped the Rolling Waves sentiment in Summer Splash ink. I snipped a diagonal end, adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped a second Rolling Waves sentiment in Summer Splash ink on a Basic Beige panel. Then I stamped the three-starfish image a couple times in Pool Party ink and the two-shell image a couple times in Crumb Cake ink.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done.
My Basic White Medium Envelope got Rolling Waves Pool Party starfish and Crumb Cake shells on the front…
…and more Beach Boardwalk DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! I love all the dies in the Rolling Waves die set – and they’re complemented perfectly with the stamped images and sentiments in the stamp set! Those die cuts make the “surf” seem so realistic – you can almost hear them rolling onto the (Maui) shoreline! 🙂 I know you’re going to want this set when it’s available on 3 March. Or – right now as part of your Starter Kit if you join the team!! Just sayin’! 🙂
I hope you like!
