Summer - Right as Rain

Lawn Fawn Tropical Scene

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a “just because” tropical-themed card combining several Lawn Fawn products.

I have been wanting to color more with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. Both the flamingos and the alligator were stamped on the Mixed Media paper and colored with Zig markers (the markers yield bright results!).

I added the animals to a die-cut scene created with Palm Trees, Hillside Borders, and a card base cut with the largest die in the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables set. I used the Speech Bubbles set for the sentiment. I envisioned the alligator luring the flamingos over with his “Hello”!

Spellbinders Layers of Flowers

Hello! Happy July! Today, I’m sharing a CAS, red/white/blue card created with the Spellbinders Layers of Flowers die set. It’s not technically a Fourth of July card, but I certainly had the holiday in mind while I created it.

This set, designed by Marisa Job, includes three different floral panels. I have used the three panels together to create a dimensional panel, although the panels could be used alone. I stamped a stacked sentiment on white cardstock to create a vertical card.

I plan to use this die set with a different color scheme on another card. I’m also thinking about rotating the dimensional panel to create a horizontal card.

Hibiscus Frame – CAS Friendship Card

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a CAS friendship card showcasing the Hibiscus Frame from the Simon Says Stamp GOOD VIBES release.

I cut the Hibiscus Frame from 110 lb. white cardstock and trimmed it to A2 panel size (the die cuts the inside but not the outside frame).
I created the background with alcohol inks – Flamingo and Sunshine Yellow – on Yupo paper.
I used a spray adhesive to attach the frame to the alcohol-ink panel. I also adhered die-cut pieces around the edges into the frame.
To finish, I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Kind Flowers set on black cardstock.

Good Vibes – Foiled Stencil Cards

Hello! Today I am sharing two CAS cards created with the Simon Says Stamp Jazz Dance stencil and the Summertime die.

To begin, I applied Deco Foil Gel through the Jazz Dance stencil on white cardstock. Once dried, I ran the panel through the Minc with a Rainbow Foil sheet. For the second card base, I ran a piece of Toner Sheet and the leftover foil sheet (with the negative image from the stencil) through the Minc.

To create the Summertime sentiment panels, I first cut the Summertime die from white cardstock. I also used the die to cut the frame and letters from a Toner Sheet. I foiled the letters with Lime Foil and the frame with Rainbow Foil. I then inlaid the lime foil letters into the white frame and the white letters into the rainbow frame.
