Summer - Right as Rain

June Reverse Confetti SFYTT

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:

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.

Lawn Fawn Life is Good

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.

Penny Black Dazzlers

Today, I’m sharing a summery “hello” card pairing Penny Black’s 30-237 Dazzlers and 30-240 Textures.

Penny Black Dazzlers

I stamped the medallions from Dazzlers in a combination of summery colors. I stamped the woven (burlap-like) texture onto the orange card base for a tone-on-tone effect. The sentiment, one of my favorites, is from the 30-230 Sunny Hello stamp set

I can see using this same design in cooler colors (maybe even silver and gold) with a holiday sentiment!

Fair Winds

One of the themes for the recent StampNation Beach Vacation was “Anchors Away,” and as nautical is one of my favorite summer card themes, I couldn’t resist playing along. It is already starting to feel like fall here in the Pacific Northwest, and with all of the new stamping product releases with fall and holiday themes, I’m not likely to make another nautical card this year.

Stamp Nation Nautical

I embossed the die cut tag with a nautical Lifestyle Crafts embossing folder. The WPlus9 Design sentiment was stamped with Stampin’ Up navy ink and die cut with a Spellbinder circle die. The medallion behind it was stamped with Stampin’ Up red ink and also die cut with a Spellbinders die. The anchor was cut from matte silver cardstock. The patterned paper is from the Carta Bella “Ahoy There” collection. I cut the patterned paper with the stitched rectangle die in the Blueprints 13 set.

Today I’m sharing an all-occasion card created with Memory Box and Poppystamps die cuts.

The new Puffy Cloud border only cuts on the cloud shape edge, allowing a range of lengths for the cloud panel. I cut each of the hot air balloons twice (adhering them with 2-in-1 glue) and attached them to the cloud panels with dimensional adhesive for extra depth.

Hope you’re having a terrific day!
