EASY BACKGROUNDS & ON THE OCEAN FOR MASCULINE CARDS

Hi Stampers!

Today we’ll take a look at the ON THE OCEAN stamp set and the coordinating ON THE OCEAN DIES. These items can be found in the STAMPIN’ UP!®️  JANUARY - APRIL 2023 MINI CATALOG. This stamp set is perfect for masculine bithday cards, cards of encouragement, or fun pirate ship cards! 

Today’s cards are birthday cards. They are similar, but each is a bit different in a couple of ways. I used the same greeting for each card, but present the greeting in different ways on the cards. The background panels are similar, but each was created using different methods and different papers. Let’s look at the cards:
