Oh, how I want to visit the beach, sand in my toes, playing in the water. It is such a fantastic summer activity. Since I can’t go, I made this shadowbox to remind me of how fun it can be. This shadowbox can be placed on a shelf as a decor item or as a Christmas tree ornament. Wouldn’t it be fun to send to a friend that also loves the beach? Thanks to Maker’s Movement for sending me the stamp and die set, Beach Vibes to use with this project.
Beach Vibes
Materials:
Mini Maker Die Cut Machine
Beach Vibes – stamp and die set
black stamp pad
stamping block
Spectrum Noir markers
washi tape
scissors
white cardstock
Marabu fabric spray
double stick tape
foam tape squares
Directions:
I began with a box I made using a past tutorial here. [picture frame SVG]
Using the stamps, I stamped onto white cardstock.
Then I colored the images with alcohol ink markers.
Using a bit of washi tape, I placed the dies and sent them through the Mini Maker from Maker’s Movement.
And here are the pieces all cut-out.
I used Fashion Spray from Marabu and a torn piece of cardstock to color the frame.
Using double-stick tape, I placed the castle into the frame.
Next, I cut a bit of the bottom of the bucket and placed it in the frame with foam tape to lift it up. I used a double layer of foam squares.
The other shapes were placed with double-stick tape.
And here is the finished piece.

Learn how to make these easy fashion earrings using the new Mini Maker from Maker’s Movement. I love their earring dies, making jewelry is so easy using them. There are a variety of different sizes but today I am using the teardrop die that comes with the Mini Maker. In fact, all materials except my pliers and paint pen came from Maker’s Movement.
This is the new die cutting machine, the Mini Maker. It is a perfect size to sit on your desktop.

I gave this pair of earrings to my daughter to go with a red dress she just bought. So, now I need to make myself a pair. Thankfully it takes little time and is very easy to do!

This sweet Easter Card was made to show how to do an inset technique using a die-cut. The concept is to insert the negative pieces so that the design is flat when finished. This technique can be used for a variety of different materials that you can die-cut.

I love how this coffee filter flower turned out. It was so fun to make. I know I will be making more of them because they are so applicable to different crafts. While I used this one on a card, the coffee filter flowers could be made in different sizes. Use them to decorate a scrapbooking page, a gift package, you could even use them for decor.

Another version above with no center accent. Leaves can also be made from the coffee filters. The card that is shown at the top of the page also has the flower’s stem rolled from a coffee filter.
