Today’s card is inspired by our Team Color Challenge for January. The challenge colors—Balmy Blue, Azure Afternoon, and Pebbled Path—immediately made me think of a winter snow scene. But after browsing through my stamp sets, I went in the opposite direction and ended up with a relaxing, beach-inspired card! 🌊
Since these colors also felt perfect for an ocean theme, I decided on the Seaside Wishes stamp set! This stamp set is part of a bundle that includes a hybrid embossing folder. If you’re wondering, what’s a hybrid embossing folder?—let me explain! Hybrid embossing folders are amazing tools that allow you to create die-cut pieces with texture in just one pass through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The dies nest inside special ridges in the embossing folder, making it super easy to get beautiful, dimensional cutouts. You can use the dies and embossing folder together or separately for endless creative possibilities.
Here’s the card I created using all three colors from the challenge and the Seaside Wishes Bundle. What do you think? Let me know in the comments!
As a bonus, I’ve included a free card tutorial below. Feel free to download or print it for your convenience—I hope it inspires you to create your own beachy masterpiece!
