OCEANFRONT STAMP SET - CREATING SCENES & BACKGROUNDS


Hi Stampers!

Today we are revisiting the OCEANFRONT stamp set. This stamp set has been around a while, and is found in the STAMPIN’ UP! 2022-2023 ANNUAL CATALOG. It is one of my favorite sets! One day I realized the cards I create with the set are very, very similar.  I challenged myself to create cards with different looks. Let’s take a look at the cards:

 

The top left card represents the cards I usually create with the set. I use the three largest stamps in the set to create the background- Sky, ocean, and sand. I used those same three stamps to create the backgrounds for the other four cards. View the corresponding video (page down just a little) to see each background without adornment.
