I’m fully in summer mode over here, and these tropical beach cards capture everything I’m looking forward to this season! Today I’m sharing two tropical-inspired cards featuring products from the new May 2026 KOTM from La-La Land Crafts. Both cards use the Summer Vacation Paper Pack to set the perfect tropical summer vibe, along with fun die-cut details that bring these colorful beach scenes to life.
Card Details – Card 1
For my first card, I created a tropical scene featuring Marci enjoying her beach getaway. I used a paper from the Summer Vacation Paper Pack and added supporting dies to create the beach scene. I die-cut the Rocks Die and Grass Patches Die from white cardstock, then colored them with my markers. To finish the card, I used the Scalloped Sentiment Labels Die for the sentiment banner and included the Flying Birds Die from the June 2025 KOTM. I love how all of the little details work together to create a cheerful vacation setting!

Card Details – Card 2
For my second card, I created another tropical beach scene featuring the cutest little seagulls enjoying a relaxing seaside day. I again used the Summer Vacation Paper Pack for the tropical background and layered in several dies to create a beach scene.
Using the Seaside Die and Beach Pilings Die to create the perfect coastal scene, I then added the Rocks Die, Grass Patches Die, Plumeria Die, and Flower Wreath Die to complete the tropical beach setting. To finish everything off, I added the Scalloped Sentiment Labels Die along with the Flying Birds Die from the June 2025 KOTM. I also incorporated the Tropical Leaves Die (retired) for extra lush greenery and tropical detail.
