Beach Bag Bliss: Featuring the Notes and Totes Bundle

Today I’m sharing a summer-ready card that’s giving major sunshine and shoreline vibes! This one was CASEd from the fabulous Dani Dziama, and I just had to recreate it using the Notes and Totes bundle from Stampin’ Up! With so many adorable die-cut pieces and details, this card was a blast to put together.

Let’s break down the layers! The card base is Lost Lagoon with layered panels of Basic White and Pool Party, creating that soft and serene beach sky. In the background, I used die-cut wood planks to mimic a beach fence—how cute is that?

Front and center is the roomy tote bag in Basic Beige and Pecan Pie, all decked out with a Flirty Flamingo scarf. And let’s not ignore what’s spilling out of this beachy beauty:

• A water bottle with Flirty Flamingo florals
• Bottles of sunscreen and lotion with tiny stamped details
• A tucked-in sentiment that reads, “NEWSFLASH! You’re fabulous”
• A little shell, heart, and even a starfish at the base of the tote for good measure!

Every element combines to tell a story, and I love how dimensional and playful it turned out.

When working with tiny die-cut elements (like the lotion pump or heart), use your Take Your Pick tool for quick and precise placement. It saves so much time—and frustration!

The full supply list for this card can be found further down on this blog post. You can also see the video link and the class information below!
