Summer Chill Birthday Card -- Two-stencil Technique!

Hello, crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a few details of this card I made that features a few of the Alex Syberia Designs August 2026 release products along with the Postage Stamp die and stencil.

First I die cut white cardstock with the Postage Stamp die.  I used two sandy-colored inks and blending brushes to add my beach to each rectangle.  Use removable tape to mask off where needed.

I placed it onto my grip mat and positioned the Postage Stamp stencil over it.  (Note: I just found that this is currently sold out.  Click the "notify me" button to be notified when it's back.  Masking tape could easily be used here.)  That's the first stencil.  I placed the second stencil, Clouds & Waves Builder, over the top rectangles with the waves portion of the stencil.

Then I used teal and blue inks with the cloud and waves edges of the Clouds & Waves Builder stencil.  I glued this panel to an A2 card base.

Next I stamped the cute images from the Summer Chill stamp set with Copic safe ink.  I colored the images with my Copic markers and then cut them out with the coordinating Summer Chill dies.

I trimmed the edges of the image with the palm tress to match the width of the stenciled rectangle.  Then I used foam adhesive to adhere it and the other images to my card.

The Summer Chill stamp set has seven sentiments to choose from.  I decided on a birthday sentiment and stamped it with black pigment ink.  I cut it out with the coordinating die and adhered it with foam strips.
