Hi Crafters,
Ready to bring a little sunshine to your craft table? This week we’re whisking you away to a dreamy beach day with our 3D Paradise Dies and Cardstock! Whether you're sending best wishes or just saying hello, this project is bursting with colorful, summery flair. What’s great is that this set includes everything you need to create a mini vacation on paper: intricate dies for umbrellas, starfish, and beach chairs, stunning foiled cardstock, floral embellishments, and more!
Let’s make something breezy and beautiful together!
Start by cutting tropical leaves out of green cardstock using your 3D Paradise Dies. Cut a blue matte foil umbrella for a bit of shimmer.
Next, diecut a pink starfish and a striped umbrella using your favorite patterned paper.
Diecut two starfish from gold matte foil, plus a magenta shimmer beach chair and umbrella shadow layer.
Adhere a vibrant pattern from the Paradise Cardstock as your 5x7 card base.
Layer a decorative shadow and frame using the Beautiful Birthday Dies with foam adhesive for dimension.
Add a collage of flowers from the Phoebe Papers and Embellishments around the frame edges.
Now layer on the shadow and detailed umbrella pieces near the top of your card.
Fussy cut the striped umbrella top and add it over the blue umbrella for a layered look.
Place your beach chair in the center bottom of the card—it’s the star of the show!
Add your starfish around the chair for a playful, beachy feel.
Top your card with a "Sending Best Wishes" sentiment banner.
Tuck it into an envelope and it’s ready to brighten someone’s day!
Let your cardstock patterns inspire you— don’t be afraid to mix, match and cut unique shapes. 
You’ll be amazed how easily scenes come together with the 3D Paradise Dies.
Even Pulley cards can be made with the 3D Paradise Dies and the Paradise Cardstock.
Let your cardstock patterns inspire you—don’t be afraid to mix, match, and cut unique shapes. You’ll be amazed how easily scenes come together with the 3D Paradise Dies.

I love this paper and die set.
Perfect for summer scrapbooking and card making. Especially for those on the lake, or on the ocean.
Happy Crafting!
I can feel the sand and smell the sea from my pink beach chair from here! Fabulous cardstock designs.
I got the paper and dies to use with scrapbook pages about our stays at Walt Disney World’s Polynesian Studios. They certainly do make beautiful cards, though!
This die set is so beachy and beautiful. It would be great to create a lovely landscape of Destin Florida. Everyone have a great day and may God bless and keep you all safe.
