Taylored Expressions Sunshine

Today, I’m sharing a summer-themed card featuring Taylored Expressions die cuts.

SunshineTo begin, I cut the Rolling Waves in two shades of blue and adhered the waves onto the orange card base with dimensional adhesive. I tucked the sun into the corner, attaching it with dimensional adhesive. I cut the Pool Party border in white cardstock and adhered the Sunshine die cut in the corner with Tombow glue. I attached the border onto the waves with dimensional adhesive. I would love to be in this scene right now! Hope you’re having a wonderful day!

CAS Sea Life Hello

Today I’m sharing a CAS one-layer card featuring the MFT Sea Life stamp set.

I stamped the underwater images with pigment inks in tropical colors on heavyweight white cardstock. I wanted the fish coming from the right-hand side to stand out, so I stamped that fish with the orange ink. Hope you’re staying cool – we’re having in a heat wave here in the Pacific Northwest!

Fourth of July “Just Because”

Today, I’m sharing a CAS “just because” card crafted with Taylored Expressions die cuts in Fourth of July colors.

RWBHouses

I created the houses with the Build A House die set and stamped a Stampin’ Up sentiment in pigment ink on the heavyweight white cardstock base. Red, white and blue is my favorite summer color combination!

Have you seen this month’s Sketch for You to Try at Reverse Confetti?

Here’s my take on the sketch featuring a pineapple image from the Pineapples Aplenty set:

June2015SFYTT

I stamped the pineapple and its leaves with Pineapples Aplenty and cut them with their corresponding Confetti Cuts. I used the Scalloped Circle and a circle die from Circles ‘n Scallops to create a background for the pineapple. The multi-colored polkadot panel  and the black-and-white strip are both from the Pina Colada Quick Card Panels set. I stamped a sentiment with images from Sweet Thing and cut it out with a Layered Banner Duo die.

I hope you’ll play along! Head on over to link up your card on the Reverse Confetti Blog for your chance to win a $20 Reverse Confetti gift certificate and the title of ‘Fetti Fave!

Lawn Fawn Life is Good

Today I’m sharing a card for the occasion on which you need to say “Sorry”! The Lawn Fawn Life is Good stamp set is one I grab as soon as the sun is out! So many great images.

I stamped and colored the crabs with Copic markers, and then I cut them out with their corresponding die. The background was dry embossed with the Tim Holtz Waves folder. I used twine to finish it off.
