I had a Stitched Rectangle die cut sitting on my table that I had tried something on and I didn’t like it. I flipped it over and decided to make a beach scene. I then stamped some of the pigs from the super cute stamp set This Birthday Piggy and fussy cut them out. I thought it would be so cute on that beach!

I first stamped the ocean with Pool Party, then stamped the sand with Crumb Cake. I used a Blending Brush with Balmy Blue ink to make the light sky background.

I die cut the one big palm from the Palms dies with Basic White paper. I colored it with Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green and Old Olive Blends.

The pig I stamped with Memento. The pig is colored with two of the Natural Tones Blends- I used one of the Lights (SU1000) and one of the Medium Light (SU800).

His scooter is with Tahitian Tide and Daffodil Delight Blends. The Happy Birthday sign is Granny Apple Green.

The “hey there” stamp is from the new set Big Hooray. I have lots of ideas for this set!

I know, a slightly unusual card! I would never think of using Oceanfront stamp set with This Birthday Piggy stamp set! I think a kid would love this card!

Here’s everything I used:
