Time for another Beach Boardwalk project – available from January 6th, 2026.

I have two versions of a simple fun fold card to share with you today.

I used a Bubble Bath card base for this card.

The shades of pink palm trees Designer Series Paper is so gorgeous. I took my time carefully cutting the paper to ensure the pattern aligned perfectly across the card – open and closed.

I wrapped length of Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon around the front DSP panel before creating and attaching two triple bows.

The greeting was stamped onto a Basic White scrap that was trimmed to fit the folded panel.

For the Basic White inside panel I stamped a Bubble Bath palm tree and added splatters of pink to coordinate with the splatters on the DSP.

To finish the card I used the dark Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blend again to colour some Antique Pearls.

For the envelope, I adhered some of the DSP to the back flap.

Now, for a different version of the fun fold card.

This card started with a Pool Party card base before cutting the DSP in the same way I did for the first card.

A 3 1/4″x 3 1/4″ Pool Party square was attached to the first folded panel and then the die cut ferris wheel. I used Adhesive Sheet on the back of the Basic White card to ensure the intricare die cut has great adhesion.

I used some of the DSP to cut the ferris wheel cages and they were attached using Multipurpose Glue.

The greeting was stamped on a scrap of white card and then trimmed it down to a small rectangle.

The inside of the card is decorated with fussy and die cut elements.

Finally, I added some Pool Party Rainbow Dots.

Tomorrow I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

TUESDAY IS TIME FOR SOME TIPS & TECHNIQUE

As I shared yesterday, this week I am featuring the Beach Boardwalk Suite Collection, from the January – April 2026 Mini Catalogue. (166844 $112.25AUD)

If you live in Australia and would like a copy of the upcoming catalogue please reach out and I will get one to you.

Today’s card uses one of the Designer Series Paper designs as a key element. After cutting it to adhere to the Secret Sea card base, I stamped the roller coaster image in front of the palm trees – also in Secret Sea. This creates the impression that the roller coaster is in front of the trees.

For the carriages on the roller coaster, I wanted them to have some height to give a sense of depth and movement.

The die cut pieces, with their cut out centre, don’t really suit using Black Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. I cut several sets of carriages and layered them on top of each other.

TIP: Using Multipurpose Glue for this can create a bit of a sticky mess so I opted to use Adhesive Sheets for a cleaner finish.

After attaching the layered carriage on the roller coaster I trimmed the end to align with the lefthand side of the DSP panel.

The greeting is from the Boardwalk Fun Stamp Set and was stamped in Secret Sea before being trimmed and popped on the card suing Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I die cut a palm tree for the card insert and stampedone on the back of the envelope.

TIP: Use Stampin’ Blends to colour light coloured embellishments and ribbon to coordinate with your project.

Finally, I used the Dark Secret Sea Stampin’ Blend to colour some Antique Pearls.

Tomorrow I have 2 cards to share with you – BONUS!

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

MEMORY KEEPING IS MY MONDAY MISSION

This week I am featuring the Beach Boardwalk Suite Collection.

For this week’s scrapbooking layout I wanted to use the gorgeous water-inspired Pool Party Designer Series Paper. This is the perfect background for photos from our recent week long coastal road trip.

Rob and I spent a week driving along the Northern New South Wales coast, as far down as Nambucca Heads.

I used my Canon Selphy to print out my photos before trimming them down to 4″x 4″ and mounting them on 4 1/2″x 4 1/2″ Lemon Lolly mattes.

The photos were placed on the background DSP.

To create the title I used the ticket die from the Boardwalk Fun Bundle and letters from the Alphabet a La Mode Dies. Adhesive Sheets are perfect to ensure the letters adhere to each of the tickets.

The note pad stamp and coordinating die, from the Just a Note Bundle, are ideal for journaling. I used a Journaling Pen to record memories of our trip.

I overlapped and angled the tickets to add interest to each page.

Tomorrow I have a card to share with you.Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
