We are having a VERY busy week on the Stampendous team. Not only have we been featured on the fabulous blog hop with Spellbinders, we are also doing a collaboration with the beautiful ribbons from May Arts! This week is filled with inspiration. If you missed any of it, check the Stampendous blog for all the daily links.
Our theme this week is "By the Sea" there are sooooo....many great stencils that fit this theme that it's hard to choose! If you missed my By the Sea post for the Spellbinder's hop on Monday, click here. Today I'm sharing TWO fun and easy cards that fit this theme.
First, the fabulous Sailboat stencil (DWLG755). What says "By the Sea" more than a Sailboat!

| "Sailing the ocean blue..." |
This technique was featured on my blog a while back, click here for the complete tutorial on how to create this. Of course, the darling white "waves" are from May Arts!
The second card was featured in the Stampendous April 2015 catalog. It uses the Jellyfish stencil (DWLG758) and is super easy to make, and would be great for summer birthdays.

The sailboat card looks fantastic, like ripples in water. So amazing and the embossing paste choice really makes the jelly fish look transparent. Such cool projects, thank you for sharing them today!
both cards are gorgeous. Love the sailboat.
I have not used that technique with the shaving cream for
a long time - thanks for reminding me.
thanks for sharing

Very pretty cards! (U.S.)
Oh, wow! Love the depth the layers give the sailboat card!# -Florida
The sail boat looks awesome with all the layers. I think the rickrack is perfect to connote waves.
Great cards...love the rickrack with the sailboat. (US)
LOVE how you stacked the layers on the sailboat card and the "waves" are so cool~!
The shaving cream technique is so awesome! I remember doing it years ago and still love it!!! Great jellyfish card! TFS!
Wow, the sailboat with the stacked layers is terrific. And the transparent jellyfish - ooohh, I want to try some of that embossing paste!

Rick rack is a perfect choice to add to the first card. Great coloring. I like the idea of using the pearly embossing on the jelly fish on second card. Great cards. Thanks. I live in north Georgia in the USA>
Great techniques on both.
