A Sunshiny Days Sweet Summer Sand Castle

Hello Pebbles friends! It’s Monique here today sharing my Sunshiny Days Summer DIY project: a Sand Castle! Does anything get better than sandcastles on the beach? Why yes! Candy-filled sandcastles!

Once I saw the sand castle cut file in the Silhouette Store, I knew I wanted to try it out.  When I heard that the theme for this week was “Pool/Beach Days,” it took me 2 seconds to decide what to make: a Summer Sweets Sand Castle! Look how fun it turned out!

For the base of the sweets sand castle, I used American Crafts light yellow cardstock from the cardstock Spring pack.  I used five different patterned papers & lots of stickers (including cardstock, chipboard AND puffy stickers). Initially I thought I would use the die-cuts too, but they were too large for this project.

I began by cutting out all the different pieces from the sand castle cut file ( #139538 from the Silhouette Store) and put them in front of me on my dining room table.

Next, I folded all the parts to get the dimension started:

To glue the parts together, I used a little liquid glue. I have to admit in the beginning, after cutting out all the separate parts, I doubted my decision to create the sand castle.  How was I going to put it together! Once the first few pieces came together, I could totally see how it would finish! It came together with just a little effort after that.Sweet Summer Sand Castle created by @moniqueliedtke with the #Sunshiny_Days collection by @PebblesInc #madewithpebbles #pebblesinc #sweet_summer_sand_castle #sweets_sand_castle

Attaching the sides of the three towers together:

Adhering the patterned paper to the front & back of the cardstock:

After gluing the front & back sand castle shapes to the the three towers (as well as both patterned paper sides), the sand castle was more or less done. I made two flags (what is a castle without a flag, right?) and embellished the sand castle with many of various fabulous Sunshiny Days stickers (cardstock, chipboard and puffy)to finish it off just right:

The darling chipboard flamingo had to be included!

The only thing left to do was fill the left and right towers with sweets!

I so adore the result! The sand castle turned out even better than I had in mind beforehand! I loved the cut file straight away, but the finished project looks so much more fun with the awesome Pebbles Sunshiny Days collection! Can’t wait to hear what you think!
