Hey there! Thanks for joining us for this edition of the Stamp Review Crew.
You’re hopping with an international line-up of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators, all creating with the same stamp set.
Currently, you’re with Kelly Kent in Bunbury, Western Australia.
I’m nestled in between two lovely roses from the US – Linda Callahan before me and Heidi Baks after me. Click on the ‘next’ button below to visit Heidi when you’re done with my projects.
Today’s stamp set is the very popular Beautiful You…
We first saw this at the Brisbane OnStage event in November 2016 and there was a very collective ‘ooooo’ around the auditorium.
Since it’s release, there have been some truly beautiful and very innovative cards made with this set.
You’re going to love the fresh eyes the Stamp Review Crew bring to it today!
I’ve decided to combine it with the newly released “Beachy Little Christmas” stamp set.
The beach shack stamp is just perfect for the dancing/cartwheeling lady. She’s my favourite – so carefree & happy!
The first concept has been swirling around in my mind for over a week now and was such fun to bring to life!
It has a shaker portion within the card front, the lady dancing across the card and the shacks peeking through from the middle!
I’ve stamped one of my favourite sentiments from the set in Black Archival ink directly onto the Window Sheet.
This is the middle of the card – the shaker section is hidden by a third panel which I folded into the middle of the card.
How cute are those beach shacks all lined up?
Once this card was finished, it inspired me to make another card, with similar elements, but not the shaker section.
I’m actually tempted to say I like this one better… Isn’t it funny how things sometimes come together out of nowhere!
I stamped the lady first and then used the masking technique to block her out while I used my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to line up the beach shacks.
The colouring was done using ink pads & an Aqua Painter – my preferred way of colouring. So quick, easy & forgiving!
Thanks for joining me for today’s hop.
Next up is the lovely Heidi Baks & her fabulous use of the Beautiful stamp set.

When I saw this was the stamp set, I truly wondered what you would come up with that was ‘different ‘. I’m surprised, as always, and love how you’ve combined these stamp sets.
Wowza! I love the dancing lady with the beachy houses! Delightful cards!
She looks like she was made to go with that line of beach houses!! Love it Kelly 🙂
These are such fun cards, Kelly! And you are right! She does go perfectly with the beach shack! I love the sequins in the first one, too!
Kelly both these projects are amazing! I love them both. Thanks for sharing fun cards that are not just Christmas ones with those houses.
Love love love this card with the shaker style front Kelly
Bonjour de la France en normandie. votre carte est superbe. bon scrap.
How fun!
Love the shaker card! So sparkly! And you’re right…those beach shacks DO look great all lined up!
Love those shacks all lined up! What a great backdrop for her, would have never thought of it myself!
Oh my gosh, Kelly! Your shaker card is breathtaking! And darn it…now I have to buy the Beachy Little Christmas set! What a wonderful inspiration you are!
OMGosh, I love those beach shacks, and I hadn’t even noticed them before. How creative to make a shaker see-thru front panel.
What a fun combination of stamp sets! Going to warm places on a vacation makes me feel like dancing too!
Fabulous combo of stamps! Makes me want to head to the beach and dip my toes in the water!
Such an inspiring use of both sets Kelly! I adore that shaker window element and she is the perfect image for a beach scene…Love, love them!
Wow!! These are two amazing cards Kelly! Love the shaker card but really love the soft look of the second one! I actually bought the beach set so I could send my Aussie and NZ friends some cards. Maybe you’ll be the first 😉
Kelly, these cards are fabulous! Those beach shacks lined up are just adorable. Who wouldn’t want to dance at the beach?!
