The background was created using masking and ink blending techniques, and the images then stamped on top. This was die cut into a deckled rectangle, layered on to a larger die cut rectangle, then attached to the card base. A double line was then scored below the stamped panel. The sandy snowman (from Christmas magic) was stamped, coloured, then fussy cut and mounted onto the card. A die cut starfish was added.

The background panel was shaded and stamped, then layered on to coloured card, then the card base.

The feature image was stamped , shaded and die cut into a scalloped circle, then added to the card front. The sentiment was added along with a die cut starfish and a shell.

A stamped, coloured and die cut Surfing Santa was added to this card.

Gems, glitter, Wink of Stella pen, and glossy accents were added to highlight all cards.
