Easy Card Layout with Beach Boardwalk Designer Series Paper

If you need a quick card layout that lets your favorite patterned paper do the heavy lifting, you are going to love this design! This card is an absolute snap to put together. With just a simple greeting, a few strategic die cuts, and coordinating layers of designer series paper, you can create a gorgeous summer-themed card in minutes.

The star of the show today is the gorgeous Beach Boardwalk Designer Series Paper. It features stunning beachy designs and tropical palm tree prints that are perfect for warm-weather greetings. Even better? It is currently on sale for just $10.63!

Here’s how to bring this fast and easy layout together.

Use a Perennial Postage die to cut out three separate palm tree images directly from the Beach Boardwalk DSP. Mount these three postage-cut images onto a coordinating strip of Blackberry Bliss cardstock using Stampin’ Dimensionals to give them instant pop and dimension.
Take a completely different, contrasting pattern from the same Beach Boardwalk Paper Pack to act as your background. Mount this layer onto a rich Blackberry Bliss cardstock base to tie the purple tones together beautifully. Attach your palm tree panel right on top.
Stamp your sentiment using the versatile Lovely Arrangement stamp set. It fits cleanly into the design without overpowering the beach scenery.
Embellish the card with a few rhinestones or sequins. I used the Sparkle Dot Assortment, which has since retired, but any clear or glittery dots from your stash will work perfectly to mimic little drops of ocean water.

The best part about this card structure is its versatility. Once you try it, you will find it is a fantastic go-to template that can work seamlessly with a wide variety of different designer series papers in your collection. Simply swap out the patterns, match your cardstock to the paper’s color palette, and you can recreate this exact look for any season or occasion!
