The very least you need for a beach is water and sand, right? Then the basics are covered with the Stampendous Beach 5-Jar Embossing Kit . It was the go-to essential for the April 2016 catalog that it having so many summer and beach themed stamps and stencils. Today I'm sharing a catalog project that I was SO excited about making... a beach place card! It was really a fun project and if done in assembly-line style would take hardly any time to create for a small group.

Hello and happy Friday folks. The Stampendous team are spending some time at the beach with House-Mouse Designs® and friends.  I have two catalog cards to share with you today, and both lead me to realize I didn't know a lot about the beach.

Can you believe it's Friday already? So many places to go, things to do, projects to finish and that isn't even to get ready for summer around our house. It's nice to stop in here this week and share a little something colorful and fun. Today's post is also about the Stampendous weekly theme, Celebrating Sentiments! What are they? It's akin to coloring pages, but it can be stamped over and over again! Stampendous has nine terrific framed sentiment stamps that are the perfect size for an A2 card. Stamp it, color it and glue it onto a card base. The card is done unless you want to add embossing powders, ribbon or whatever your embellishing go-to may be. Before I get on with my post, I'd like to also let you know that there is a new Splitcoaststampers Mix-Ability challenge,  MIX173 : Frame It!! , that our new team member Polly is hosting, you'll want to stop in and meet her, join in the fun while you are there! I'll be sharing a project som...
