Déja vu? Not quite – this is a variation on my first Rolling Waves/Two Tone Card Stock card. It’s simplified a bit, and it has a bit of a color pop with the sea stars added on the bottom. But the colors and the layout are quite similar.

• Stamps: Rolling Waves
• Color Palette: Basic White, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade
• Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Rolling Waves dies, Stylish Shapes dies, Pool Party Two Tone Card Stock, Linen Thread, Stampin’ Dimensionals

The technique is quite similar – tear the paper, alternate sides as you apply it, and finish with the Rolling Waves die cut. I changed the sentiment panel to a Stylish Shapes banner, and the color palette is Pool Party and Coastal Cabana instead of Cloud Cover and Lost Lagoon.

We made this card in my crafting groups, and one of our members shared a hilarious story about someone in an aquarium rather arrogantly correcting her children: they are NOT Star Fish, they are not fish at all, they are Sea Stars. Oh my gosh, we laughed so hard – you had to be there.

That’s why we make cards together, isn’t it? For the fun, the laughter, and the connection.

Maybe you could send a birthday card to someone this week. It will bring a little joy to both of you. If you need supplies, shop the Online Store.
