Ahoy! Looking for your next handmade card project? What you need is a fun summertime card perfect for anyone who loves the sea and boats!
Today’s fun summer card creation comes from our lovely designer, Shelly. We adore her use of the Stitched Alphabet Dies, and how they pop right out of the card background seamlessly matched to the Boats and Waves Stencil. Genius! This card is so fun to create, using the two part stencil and bright colors, but it also fun to receive! Who is ready for their next adventure?
