Hello crafty friends! Sammi here sharing a birthday card because it is my birthday today! Anyone that knows me knows that I LOVE flip flops and the Summer Fun Essentials dies have flip flops! My favorite color is purple, so purple flip flops it is! I just love these dies! Here is how I made this card:

1. First, I cut the card panel using the Stitched Rope Nesting Rectangle dies. Using Distress Oxide inks, I ink blended the card panel with the browns first to make a beach and then I ink blended the purples to meet the beach. I then took darker colors and ink blended the edges and corners to add some depth. I then sprinkled some water for water splotches, and then added some gold and dark brown splatters.
2. I then die cut out the flip flops pieces and ink blended them with Oxide inks. I then glued them together using Bearly Art glue.
3. I then cut the Happy Summer word die out three times and glued them on top of each other. I then took some brown ink and brushed on some brown ink on the tops and bottoms of the Happy Summer sentiment.
4. I ink blended some dark brown ink onto a piece of cardstock, and then stamped the “birthday” sentiment from the Happy Day stamp set in embossing ink, then heat embossed it with white embossing powder after I treated the cardstock with my Telescopic Embossing Powder Tool. I then cut it into a strip.
5. Using Bearly Art glue, I glued the Happy Summer sentiment onto the card panel. Then using foam tape, I glued the “Birthday” strip and flip flops onto the card panel.
6. I then added some Mocha Pearl Mix embellishments and then glued the card panel onto a card base.

I love how this card turned out and it is the perfect birthday card for me!! Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!
