Greetings from the beach - Doodlebug Beach! Happy Monday! I'm back with another fun project made with the new Doodlebug Seaside Summer Collection! Today I made a Beach House card. One of my favorite elements from this collection is the beach houses, so I made them the feature of my card. I don't scrapbook too much and mostly make cards and other projects.... But I think this card layout/design could very easily be translated into a fun scrapbook page layout! A row of beach houses along the bottom of the page?? So cute!
This finished card is a kraft card base, folded into a 5x7 horizontal card (A7). I layered 12x12 Seaside Summer patterned paper, and then a white layer. Then I had a good time adding all those pieces: houses, palm trees, a surfboard and of course a crab having a margarita!! (that's my favorite part!)
All the houses were attached to the card with foam tape. I placed the palms behind the houses to frame them. I added a Chit Chat element for my sentiment. I also added white gel pen accents onto the die cuts. This adds just one more bit of a detail and lets you customize!
In this photo you can see how everything is layered.... You know I love the foam tape!
The most fun part of this card was adding the different accents! I used Sprinkles in green, the crab is a Doodle Pop, he's holding a margarita from another Sprinkles pack... I added some hearts and the surfboard sticker. It's so fun to customize it and make it your own. I just truly love all these delicious happy colors together.
Cheers to the rest of Summer! Mr. crab raises a glass to you! Clink!
That's it for today's Doodlebug Project! As it always happens in August, we are going back and forth between summer and fall crafting! My next project will be another Halloween card from Pretty Pink Posh! Can't wait to show you! Have a great week. Love ya! XOXO
