Reverse Confetti – Watermelon Popsicles

I couldn’t resist creating watermelon Popsicles with the Reverse Confetti Let’s Chill Confetti Cuts and the Doin’ the Wave Confetti Cuts.

To create the Popsicles, I used the Doin’ the Wave Confetti Cuts to cut two patterned papers and white cardstock. I adhered the pieces onto a lightweight piece of cardstock, fitting them together in their grooves, and used the Let’s Chill Confetti Cuts to cut out the Popsicle. For the Popsicle sticks, I first cut them with the Let’s Chill Confetti Cuts and then ran them through the Big Shot with the Woodgrain Confetti Cuts to add texture.

I heat embossed one of the sentiments from Donut You Know. Additional embellishments were created with the Confetti Cuts sets: Layered Banner Duo (banner), Shakers ‘n Frames (hearts), Wonky Scallop Border, and Tagged Tote (bow).

Dream Big

Today, I’m sharing a “just because” summer-themed CAS card.

I haven’t seen a lady bug in years, but fondly remember seeing them as a child! I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts “Heyday Sentiments” set on the rectangular cardstock panel and then adhered the die cut leaves and lady bugs.

Die Cut Summer Nautical Scene

Today, I’m sharing a summer-themed lighthouse scene crafted with Taylored Expressions dies.

I’ve already proclaimed my love for the red, white and blue (in this case navy and a chambray blue) color scheme, especially during the summer. I added a little yellow to energize the scene. The sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp set.

Supplies: Taylored Expressions Little Bits – Lighthouse, Little Bits – Sailboat, Build A Scene – Rolling Waves, Build A Scene – Rolling Hills

Reverse Confetti CAS(E) This Sketch #132

I liked this week’s CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge so much, I created another card with the sketch using Reverse Confetti stamps and Confetti Cuts!

CASESketchPosies

I stamped images from the Reverse Confetti Petals ‘n Posies set with pigment inks and cut them with their corresponding Confetti Cuts. I stamped the sentiment from Peacock Pretties and cut it with a die in the Stitched Flag Confetti Cuts set. I cut the cardstock frame with a square die inside a rectangular one. The frame is adhered to the blue panel with dimensional adhesive for some depth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAS(E) This Sketch #132 Guest Designer

I’m delighted to be a guest designer this week for the CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge #132.

Here’s my take on the sketch featuring a combination of Taylored Expressions die cuts:
CaseThisSketch-132-JM

To begin, I created a frame panel by die cutting with a nesting die. Next, I cut the Taylored Expressions Beach Border, onto which I had heat embossed the sentiment, and trimmed it, taping it to the back of the frame panel. I added the die cut sandcastle and flip flops to the beach border with dimensional adhesive. I adhered a yellow panel onto the heavyweight card base for the background. To finish, I adhered the white frame panel to the card base with dimensional adhesive.
