Summer Beach Scenes

Hi Crafty Friends,
This bright beach-themed card featuring Lili of the Valley Summer Fun Bundle Stamps is packed with sunny vacation vibes, from the rainbow umbrella and tropical fish to the palm tree and sandcastle. I love the postage-style layout of the Waffleflower A7 Postage Die and Waffleflower Postage Wave Stencil because each little scene feels like its own mini summer postcard.

Just Be-CLAWS Tag

Hi Crafty Friends,
This cute crab tag is full of seaside charm with its punny “just be-claws” sentiment and playful red crab from Lili of the Valley Summer Icons Stamp Set and pattern paper background.
