How to Make a Tropical Vignette Card

Unwind and relax with this awesome tropical beach card design!

How about a fun, dimensional beach scene card? It just screams summer vacay! Today’s inspiration is from our designer Julie, and we think this card is just perfect for a summer birthday or for a friend taking a trip to the islands or beach. Julie said, “These new dies are just so fun. I combined several here along with a new Day at the Beach set.” This is such a great vignette that’s been created tucked behind that frame, we can’t wait to see how she made this. Check out the steps below and be sure to tag us if you create one of your own!

  • For my card, I die cut the beach stand out of gray, then used white ink to give it that sunbleached look.
  • The thatch top was lt green w/ green & tan ink blended onto it.
  • The 2 surfboards were paper pieced & the flamingo uses 3 shades of pink & has a little pink ink brushed around some areas.

  • The deckled frame topper has 2 card board layers behind it, then I added the hut & popped them all up with a layer of foam before adding the beachy paper behind them.
  • I like the dimension & separation it gives the different pieces from each other & the background. 
  • The short greeting was split on top & bottom with the flamingo & tropical greenery added in the corner on top.
