Hurray, Summer is finally upon us! And for many of us that means heading out to have some fun in the sun and maybe hitting the beach. Today’s post is full of handmade cards inspired by the beach, hanging out with family, surfing the waves, wading in the tide pools, laying in the sun (with sunscreen of course!) and enjoying watching the birds and sea life.
Check out all the beachy card ideas and be sure to click on the link below each photo, most will contain products used, tips and tutorials.
This cute critters have jumped in the car and headed to the beach. I love all their gear pilled up on the cards and the road traveling into the distance, such a fun scene card! Visit the Lawn Fawn blog for this and 12+ more card ideas with this road tripping stamp set.
This stunning sunset was created with layering stamps and stencils from Hero Arts, the ink colors Channin picked are simple beautiful! It’s surrounded by silhouette die cut palm trees and foliage which helps draw the eye right the center of the design. Visit the Hero Arts blog for a video tutorial.
Allison Cope used stamps from Sweet November to create this amazing woman walking along the beach card, her coloring is so realistic it almost looks like a photo! I spotted this card on her Instagram page.
This cool card has a fun interactive surprise inside! The cute hippo, flowers and sentiment are on the front of the card but the beach scene is on a pull out z-fold flap inside the card, giving it just a little something extra than a regular card opening. Visit the La-La Land Crafts blog to watch a how to video.
This beautiful beach house in teals and pinks has seagulls flying around it over an ink blended card background with a faux stitched border along with a puny sentiment. I saw this card on Sam Olden’s Instagram.
This fun and funky beach scene has two kids playing in the sand using stamps from Stampingbella and a wonderful hand drawn and colored background using Copic Markers. Visit A Thousand Sheets of Paper blog for more info.
This cute red panda is building a sand castle on the beach, he’s a new stamp just released from Whimsy stamps. The beach background is actually pattern paper and it’s perfect for quick and easy scene building. I spotted this card on the Whimsy Instagram page.
Cathy created her own beachy sunset scene using ink blending and masking, she placed it inside of a die cut frame with a palm tree and added a large heat embossed sentiment. Around the oval she added stamped limes and a flower for a terrific tropical card. Splash over to the Sunny Studio blog for all the details.
This amazing mixed media card uses paint, grit paste, stamps and hand drawn details to create a realistic looking beach that’s a perfect masculine design to give to a guy. I found this card over on Renee’s Instagram.
These cute stamped penguins from Pink and Main are having fun in the sun on the beach with a background of pretty foiled seashells with pattern paper on the bottom. I’m loving the mix of papers and textures on this card from Annette! Visit the Pink and Main blog for more info.
If you love to color this card features a large background stamp with loads of room to play and color. With the beach and lighthouse it’s also another great masculine card design. Swim on over to the Polkadoodles blog for a closer look.
