Hi friends, here with the new Sandcastle Shaker from the Pretty Pink Posh Summer Release. This whole release is so fun and adorable. With all the fun shakers, Seashells, Stencils, and the beautiful mixes for inspiration! It brought out the inner mermaid in me! And who is ready for Summer!

Speaking of using the beads for inspiration, the Paradise Shaker Beads was mine on this Pink Sandcastle.

Starting off with Gina K Barely There Card stock for the background panel, using the Layered Seashells Stencil. With Layer A, I ink blended on a Simon Says Pawsitively Melon Ink. Once it was done I then placed layer B over the panel and ink blended on the Cantalope Ink on the shells. To incorporate the pink, I added Carnation Ink to the stars on layer B. Next, I die cut the panel out using the larger Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die. 

Then in the center of the panel I die cut out the whole Sandcastle Shaker Die. Also die cutting it from a pink card stock using both the outer and inner dies to create the frame of the sandcastle. 

Card Stock Used:

Gina K: Bubble Gum Pink & Barely There

Concord & 9th: Creamsicle

MFT: Ripe Raspberry & Orange Zest

Adhering acetate to the back of the panel with double sided adhesive.  Then adding foam strips around the window to create a well for the Paradise Shaker Beads. Once the beads were poured inside I placed a Melon colored card stock over to in case the beads. 

Next, on the front of the panel I attached the sandcastle frame. Adding a darker pink for the flags and door. The center flag did go off the panel so I popped a small foam square to the back of it. 

For the sentiment I used one from the Sentiment Strips:Summer. Stamping and White heat embossed it on a brighter Orange. Then die cutting it out with Sentiment Strips Dies,  adding thin foam squares to the back but making sure they aren’t where the flag would be. This will keep the sentiment nice and even.

I love how this card turned out, let me know what you think! It such a fun and really pretty easy card to make. It’s like our own Barbie Sandcastle!
