My best friend's birthday is coming up. She loves the beach and everything about it including relaxing poolside. I thought this combination of the WhipperSnapper stamp on the front with the Sizzix Beach Chair on the inside would be the perfect card. I had a blast making it!
The image was colored with copics and then I added glitter to the umbrella, sentiment, and the ice cubes. I dug deep into my miscellaneous embellishments box and found the flip flops charm. How cool was that?
The pop up beach chair is a Sizzix die. It took me quite a while to assemble it but I'm sure as I make more of them it will be quicker. The banner is made from an assortment of WhipperSnapper stamps and the banner die and stamp set from Papertrey Ink. I really tried to place a piece of towel inside, but it just made it too bulky so I opted for the umbrella and flip flop stickers.
The overall card size is A7 in order to accommodate the chair. For sure, this would have to go in a puffy envelope if I was mailing it. But, I'm hand delivering it so I'll be able to see her face when she opens it!
Thanks for Looking

Adorable card. Reminds me I bought this die last year and never used it. I might have the inspiration to run it through the machine now. Thanks for sharing your card, love the embellishments you placed around.
