Summer - Right as Rain

Spellbinders – Tulip Flower Frame

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Thank You card created with the Tulip Flower Frame Card Creator die set designed by Maria Job for Spellbinders. I previously shared cards created with the set in this post.

I specifically wanted to use patterned paper on the card base as this particular “cover plate” die has an ample amount of open space. Once I cut the frame and placed it over the patterned paper, I decided that some of the tulips in the frame should be filled in, which I did with the inlay method.

I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Everyday Script set and cut it with its coordinating die. I cut circles from both red and cream cardstock, which I adhered to the card center. I adhered the sentiment to the circles with foam adhesive.

Thanks so much for dropping by!

Simon Says Stamp CAS Summer Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS summer-themed card featuring Simon Says Stamp supplies. Why summer you ask? I just received the bike die and that made me think of warm and sunny days.

I taped the sky and grass (ground) cardstock pieces together on the back and cut them with a Lil’ Inker square die.
I cut the bike with the Classic Bicycle die and assembled it. I added it to the square panel with foam adhesive.
I cut the SUMMER letters with the Summertime die and glued them to the grass.
I stamped Hello and Happy with stamps in the Four Seasons Sayings set and cut them with a skinny banner die (MFT set that is now discontinued).
I dry-embossed the card base with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from Stampin Up’.

Supplies: Simon Says Summertime die set; Simon Says Four Seasons Saying stamp set; Stampin’ Up Lemon Lime Twist, Stampin’ Up Melon Mambo cardstock, and Gina K Designs Turquoise Sea cardstock; Memento Pear Tart ink; Stampin’ Up Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions embossing folder

Newton’s Nook – Live, Love, Aloha

Hello! Today, I am sharing another card created with the Newton’s Nook Aloha Newton stamp set. See my first card here.

I stamped the image with Intense Black ink on Mixed Media paper.
I colored the image with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.
I stamped the sentiment under the colored image and cut the paper with a rectangular die.
For the card base, I dry-embossed Taylored Expressions Candy Corn cardstock with a TE embossing folder that reinforces the tropical feel.

Newton’s Nook – Beach Days

We are having a record-breaking heat wave here in the Pacific Northwest. Lying in a hammock is about all I have the energy to do!

I stamped this adorable image from the Newton’s Nook Aloha Newton set with Versafine ink on Arches hot-press paper. I colored the image with a variety of watercolor mediums, including Distress Inks and portable palettes (no longer available). I used Taylored Expressions ink and cardstock for the Tropical Leaves stenciled background.

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”!
