Life's A Beach ... Tee-rific!

Well today I have a couple of cards to share with you all. These cards are for the Hanna Stamps challenge this week on the Hanna Stamps member forums of SCS which is to create a shaped card. I have been wanting to make a circle card using my nestabilities for sometime now so I decided to do one of these for this particular swap. And the Riley Moose stamps from Hanna Stamps are the perfect size for these cards. I used the larger of my circle nestabilities to create my various layers for my "Life's a Beach" card.

This was a fairly simple card to create .... after cutting my shapes .... I stamped my image onto the white card and colored using my copic markers. I also used my yellow spica pen on the sand area to give it a glitter look. Doesn't Riley look like he is having fun!

Oh btw how did I make this into a card when I used my cuttlebug .... I cut two scallop circles ... on the back circle I measured down from the top approx 2cm ... scored & folded along this mark and then applied tape to the top portion and attached it to the front scallop ... viola!!!!! I now have a card that will open ... I use this method a lot esp if I only have a short supply of card I want to use as the base of my card.

Here is another card I made for this challenge ... actually I made this one first but wasn't 100% sure if I liked it so decided to make the other ... but I came back to it this morning and added the sentiment and now I don't mind it quite so much which is why I am posting it. It probably could still have a few improvements done to it, but you get the idea anyway.

For this one I cut the circles again using my nestabilities and then I ran the white circle through again using my bubbles cuttlebug embossing folder.

Riley was stamped twice and cut out ... the 2nd image I only cut out his head and attached it over the other image using foam tape. The grass is cut using the cricut ... it is leftovers I have had sitting here for about 12 months ... it finally had a use! And finally my sentiment.
