Hello friends! I’m really enjoying all the lovely beach/sea themed paper collections this year. Next on the list was Honey Bee Stamps Beach Vibes 6×6 paper pad. The colors are lovely and there are several designs that can be used to create fun beach scenes. I also picked up the coordinating gem stickers and a few stamp and die sets from the recent summer release. The flip flops are my favorite. (Even if I can’t stand to wear flip flops.) Lol!
I used my 6×6 Paper Pad Tutorial and one paper pad to make 29 cards.
Because it takes many hours to turn a paper pad into cards, this video has been sped up 6 times. The real time recording was just under 5 1/2 hours, not including any of my planning, prep, or die cutting time. Watch the video below or click HERE to see it on YouTube.
Here is the cardstock I first pulled before starting on the cards. I always pull out way more cardstock than I ever use. I list the brands and colors if I have the information. Some of my cardstock has been in my craft room for many, many years.
In addition to using the 6×6 paper pad, I also used 3 sheets of 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 14 sheets of 12″ x 12″ solid colored cardstock.
Cardstock colors –
Black – Recollections
Tiara – Bazzill
Fig Swirl – Bazzill
North Sea – Bazzill
Jet Stream – Coredinations
Blue Calypso – Bazzill
Krafty Canvas – Coredinations
Here are close up pictures of the cards I made, including sketches and measurements. For sketches that don’t include measurements, I simply figure the measurements out on my own, for what works for me. Go HERE to see my video explaining how I determine card sketch measurements. All cards are made using Honey Bee Stamps Beach Vibes 6×6 paper pad.

There are some really lovely papers in this pad and your cards definitely show them off. The flip flop cards are super cute. Funny how you don’t like wearing them. I used to live in them (only while I was growing up they were called thongs, lol), but alas, my old feet now only let me wear them for short amounts of time. Thanks for sharing these great cards, Kristie. 🙂
Thank you, Jeanne! This paper collection is so lovely. The flip flop die set is very fun, even if I don’t wear flip flops. Lol! I wore them all the time as a child. Now, they drive me crazy. I can’t even wear them for a short time. (Yes, we called them thongs when I was a kid as well!) 🙂
Oh my goodness! I still have some paper left in this paper pad, you’ve give me some ideas here!
Thank you, Mary! It’s such a lovely paper collection. 🙂
I love these cards! That stamp set and flip flop die is on my wishlist and your cards just reinforce my desire for them! 🙂 This paper pack looks awesome. I always think I have way too much paper and try not to get anymore but this paper pack goes with the set so perfectly! Beautiful cards that make me wish for the beach. Thanks for the mini imaginary vacation!
Thank you so much, Laurie! I really enjoyed using this lovely paper collection. I’d still really like to head out to the beach, but that may not happen this summer. I KNOW I have way too much paper. But that doesn’t stop me from buying more. Lol!
These are all fantastic, Kristie! So glad you could join me for Mojo Monday!
Thank you Julee! I look forward to trying your next wonderful card sketch. 🙂
