Seaside Bundle - From Santorini to the Caribbean

 Have you seen the new Seaside set from C9?! I knew it was an "add to cart" set the instant I saw it. I have 3 cards to share using this bundle, a couple are Caribbean inspired and one very Santorini inspired...

It's rare for me to finish a card and immediately be in love with it... but this one is the exception! I don't know if I'll ever be able to get rid of it. I used the entire Seaside Bundle on this card, along with many of the new inks and papers! The Surfside, Bluebell, and Capri inks and cardstocks were the perfect addition for my Santorini inspired card.

The Capri blue color is just *chef's kiss*.

My first Caribbean card is inspired by my very recent trip to St. Maarten (photo below) and also one of Seeka's very beautiful cards! I definitely took a lot of inspo from Seeka!

I wanted to mimic the colors from the photo in St. Maarten. I also used a lot of another new color (which I adore) called Berry Kiss! I am absolutely loving the entire 2026 C9 color collection.

My final card is obviously another Caribbean inspired one. This time all the buildings are the Berry Kiss color. I opted for no sentiments on these last two cards because I wanted to use alllll the die cuts!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you've enjoyed my travel-inspired Seaside cards!

My Favorite Side Effect

 If only adulting came in chewable form...

When this collection dropped, I instantly purchased the Dumpster Fire set and this Favorite Side Effect set. To see my dumpster fire card click here! I finnnally got around to using these adorable pills! 😂

The happiest little pills! I used cardstock from the ColorWheel collection and I even put these cuties on mini action wobbles. Check my instagram to see them in action!

Essentially Yours Sentiments

 Happy Monday! Spellbinders has a brand new great bundle called Essentially Yours Sentiments, and it's exactly that... sentiments that are essential to have in your stash.

Today I'm sharing a card using the Layered Thank You die.

I took a little dive into some of my old favorites including Dina Wakey and this fun color combo of lime and hot pink! It was also fun to pull out my BetterPress again with these plates.

The BetterPress collections used are Growing and Flourishing, both from Dina Wakley. I love the modern circle designs in these plates. My Thank You sentiment is die cut from Peridot and Wild Berry.
