Slowing down and taking naps isn’t easy for me when I have all these amazing craft supplies at my fingertips. I scrambled to create a card class the day before leaving for Florida and found a unique way to pack my supplies for the trip. I know I wouldn’t be able to go away for 12 days and not get “inky”. Deciding what to bring and still pack
Lightly was a challenge. Waves of Inspiration, Oceanfront and the Paradise Palms are perfect for this beach trip. 


The waves are stamped in Bermuda Bay, Night of navy and highlighted with wink of Stella. I stamped the bird in basic black and the sentiment in Basic Black and Bermuda Bay. The card base is thick Basic white 5 ½ x 8 ½ , scored at 4 ¼, layer 1 is 4 x 5 ¼. Diecut the tag and used pool party and white string to tie it on. Added the sentiment fussy cut out and the retired waves of inspiration embellishments. 


The Palms are my favorite on this birthday card. Stamped and stamped off in Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody, Polished Pink. The first layer basic white 4 x 5 ¼ embossed with online exclusives basics 3D embossing folder. The fence is diecut in basic black and the layer 2 is polished pink cardstock  punched circles for the sentiment and splattered in basic gray.


The Oceanfront sunset stamped on 3 ¾ x 5 Basic White Cardetock in Pumpkin Pie, Bermuda Bay, Garden Green, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake. The sentiment is in Bermuda Bay and I added the Sea Glass embellishments. The Bermuda Bay card base is 4 ¼ x 11, scored at 5 ½.


While the other cards were created before I left on vacation this birthday card was created poolside for my Hostess whose birthday is coming up in May. The sky was stamped off in Pacific Point, the water stamped off in Bermuda Bay, the beach stamped and stamped off in both Basic Gray and the Soft Suede
The rocks also stamped and stamped off in Soft Suede. The grass in Garden Green. Wink of Stella on the palms tops and the water. Then added 3 sea glass embellishments to finish.
