Curvy Girl Loves the Beach Canopy Card | Stamping Bella

Hey all. I have another Stamping Bella step-by-step for you today. I saw this style of card on Insta and loved how much bulk there was to it, so I gave it a go. The measurements are slightly different on my card, I made the canopies a little larger, so that Curvy Girl Loves the Beach fit on the front. I really like how it turned out and will definitely play around with other sizes.

Curvy Girl Loves the Beach rubber stamp

Coloured card & white card

Beach/nautical themed papers

Stitched rectangle die
