This is a handmade card by Christien Griffith, made for a team swap in February 2023. The card uses the Seaside Bay Photopolymer stamp from the Stampin’ Up Annual catalogue, which runs from May 2023 to April 2024. The card’s design shows Christien’s creativity and attention to detail, with elements that demonstrate the artistic possibilities of the Seaside Bay stamp collection. The card has a navy blue edge and a divided background; one side with a blue and white polka dot pattern, and the other with a textured beige design. A navy blue ribbon across the center has the message “Thank you for everything” in graceful white lettering. Under the ribbon, there are cut-out shapes of two small birds and one bigger bird, displaying the detailed patterns and feather features typical of the Seaside Bay stamp set. I’m sorry for the late feature of this piece on my website, which was delayed until May 2024 because of a delay in getting photographs.
