Beachy Vibes Gift Card Holder - Stampin' Up!® Notes & Totes

   It's been a hot minute since I've been in my stamp room!  I held my May class the last week of May then immediately jumped into preparing for vacation mode and spent this past week at the beach with family enjoying the sun and ocean.  Now I'm trying to get organized so I can get back to stamping.  Luckily I do still have a project to share that we made at my last class.  I had beach on the brain so the new Notes & Totes bundle was the perfect thing to use for one of the projects.

  This was also the first time some of my stampers were seeing the new In Colors in person so I incorporated all 5 into the design.  It starts with a Secret Sea card base, then a layer of Cloud Cover stamped with the sentiment in Secret Sea.

  Next using a lot of the dies from the Notes & Totes die set we just made a 4 square layout with each square highlighting one of the dies as well as the In Colors.  The sunglasses have the lenses colored with Wink of Stella for some added pizzazz. And the sun stamp is added to the sunscreen tube In Darling Duckling ink. A few Iridescent Faceted Gems are added for embellishments.

  The outside of this card is fun and playful but I carried over that feeling to the inside of the card too!!

  We used the tote die to create a little gift card pocket on the inside!  Isn't that so cute? Carrying on the theme of new In Colors my stampers got to choose which color/pattern of In Color 6x6 DSP they wanted to use for their tote.  They all used Secret Sea for the accent pieces and they all were adorable no matter which color was chosen.  The sentiment is from the Online Exclusive set The Right Words and was just the right size for the open corner.

 Hopefully I'll get back to creating this week if I can remember how lol!  

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
