Paper Smooches Thank You

Hello! Today I am sharing a bright, summer-themed Thank You card created with Paper Smooches supplies, which I’m entering into their latest challenge whose theme is Thanks.

I die-cut and assembled the flip flops and floral elements and added them to a SU Tempting Turquoise (now retired) card base, on which I had heat-embossed the sentiment.

The hot pink and orange color combination screams late 1960s summer to me!

Lawn Fawn Tropical Scene

Hello! Today I am sharing a tropical scene created with Lawn Fawn products.

I combined Copic-colored critters against a beach scene. This scene is probably not realistic in terms of actual habit!

The Tropical Backdrop die cuts a frame, as well as pieces for the palm trunks and fronds (cut from SU Cucumber Crush, now retired) which can be applied on top of the frame.
I added a sand hill and ocean wave behind the frame and a die-cut sentiment.

Penny Black – A Floral Hello

Hello! Today I am sharing a “Hello” card created with Penny Black supplies.

I stamped the 30-704 Wings and Vases image and colored it with Copic markers and colored pencils.
I cut the image with its corresponding die set.
I cut the 51-611 Creative Curves from white cardstock and backed it with a rectangle.
I die-cut the sentiment, using the 51-040 Hello Frame die, three times (for extra dimension) and glued the pieces together.
I applied double-sided adhesive to vellum and cut a rectangular strip. With the vase in place on the Creative Curves piece, I adhered the vellum. I then glued the Hello sentiment to the vellum strip.
I stamped the light-orange paper with the 40-254 Decadence stamp for the card base.
I added the assembly to the card base.
I added butterflies, cut with a die in the 51-132 Flights of Fancy set, to the scene for additional interest.

A few weeks ago I shared another card created with a different image from the 30-704 Wings and Vases set.

Paper Smooches Freshly Made Sketches 434

Hello! Today I am sharing a friendship card created for the Freshly Made Sketches 434 Challenge with a combination of Paper Smooches supplies.

I used Paper Smooches die sets and a favorite stamp set which I’ve owned for a long time!

I took my color cues from the colors on the floral patterned paper. The frame was cut from SU Island Indigo (now retired) and the sentiment stamped with matching ink.

Thanks for dropping by!

Penny Black – A Carefree Day

Hello! Wishing you a carefree day – doesn’t that sound blissful? Today I am sharing a CAS, die-cut, garden-themed card created with Penny Black supplies.

I stamped the 30-700 Carefree Wishes sentiment on to a white cardstock panel.
I added Summer Sky ink to the background.
I cut the flowers, foliage, shelf, watering can, tools, pots, and butterfly with the 51-635 Buckets of Flowers, 51-510 A Garden, and the 51-610 Hydrangea die sets.
I placed the scene on to an orange cardstock base. I tried yellow, blue, and red before deciding that the orange was “just right”!
