Summer Splash

Are you longing for the clean clear water of your favorite summertime beach? The Summer Splash reminds me of those wonderful ocean views from my stays at Mini’s Haven on the Panama City Coast. I was immediately drawn to this color when I saw it and knew it would be one that I would reach for over and over again.

Today’s cards all use the Summer Splash to create monochromatic cards, this first one uses simple stamping. The card uses the Of Art & Texture (Online Exclusive 162687) and the Sweetly Scripted Stamp set (Online Exclusive 163600) to create a lovely congratulations card.

And how about this thank you card? Stamped using the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set (163579).

The card uses our 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper (163771) and 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (163777) to add interest and of course the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (163781) that were used on both of these cards are a must have with their beautiful iridescent shine.

How about a simple card with a lot of texture?

This card uses the Unbounded Love Bundle (163384) which is part of our Bundle Sale and the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder (163483) to create some wonderful geometric texture as a back drop. The soft Summer Splash 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (163786) add a bit more texture to the card.

Next I’ve got a super simple fun fold card for you. What makes it a fun fold is the simple scoring. This card base is 11″ x 4 1/4″ and it’s scored at the 2″ and 7 1/2″ marks rather than the traditional 5 1/2″.

It’s been decorated with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder (163414) and Basic Rhinestones Jewels (144220). The sentiment is from the Trust Tools Stamp Set (163274).

And the final card for the day uses the Wild Ferns Stamp set (162648)

Texture has been added to the background with a simple layered panel using the 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (163777) and then dry embossed using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (161600). I love the die that has been used to wrap around the sentiment panel that was created with the Wild Ferns Dies (162654).

It’s a new week and I thought it would be a great time to share our NEW In Colors for 2024-2026. Have you seen them? These colors remind me of summer and are a fun addition to our core color collections. So each day this week I’ll be sharing some monochromatic cards with you highlighting one color per day.

Today it’s Shy Shamrock – the shades of summer with all those greens are now in place as the days grow longer and the temperatures rise. Shy Shamrock is a lovely shade of green, fresh, and clean and makes me things of those fields of grass and trees.

Today’s cards all use the NEW In Color Shy Shamrock to create lovely monochromatic cards.

This first card uses the color to create a lovely and using it’s name sake and creating a shamrock using the Adorning Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder & Dies (162569)

The So Swirly Embossing Folder (163791) was used to create a background with lots of texture. A bit of ink has been brushed on using a Blending Brushes (153611 or 160518) and the Modern Oval Punch (Online Exclusive 162234) was used to pop up the sentiment found in the Something Fancy Stamp Set (160416).

These next two cards use our wonderful stack of 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (163777) that contains four fun patterns all which are highlight in these cards.

This first card uses the Spotlight on Nature Dies (163580) which are a great stand alone die set. The sentiment is from our NEW Unbounded Love Stamp set (163378) that is part of this months Bundle Sale and of course the 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots (163389) were used once again on this card for a small pop of color on the sentient.

This next card once again uses the 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (163777) along with the sentiment and the lovely detailed frame from the Unbounded Love Bundle (163384).

A bit of texture was added with Petal Pink & White 1/4″ Diagonal Trim Combo Pack (163417) between the two strips of 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (163777). If you haven’t seen this ribbon already, it’s a great choice and since it is white you can customize it with color too.

Our final card today is a simple holiday card.

The 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper (163771) has been used for the evergreen that has been die cut using the Merriest Trees Dies (162047). The background has been dry embossed with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder (162026) which adds some lovely texture while the Shy Shamrock 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (163787) grounds the evergreen and Iridescent Pearls (158987) were added as the ornaments. Simple and elegant my photo just doesn’t do this cards shimmer & shine justice.

Let’s Wander

Posted on by

Today is the 80th Anniversary of D Day and our landing on the beaches at Normandy. Deep appreciation is felt for our military and the sacrifices they made that day. How different our world would be without the sacrifice they all made. I remember my step father telling me about his days on the ground in France after the invasion. Both he and his older brother were part of the army that went forth to liberate France as they marched into Germany. The Greatest Generation, for sure and those that followed to protect our liberties. Today my daughter and her fiancé were able to participate and perform in the official ceremony at the Brittany American Cemetery and Memorial as part of the Collegiate Mass Band. A privilege I’m sure they will remember for years. History… we need to remember

So today’s cards reminded me of those men and women who protect our freedoms.

While the set isn’t a traditional military set I love the way this boots from the Let’s Wander stamp set (163594) were used to create this card. Isn’t it great how we are only limited by our imagination when stamping and creating?

For this card “dog tags” were created using the die from the Unbounded Love Dies (163383) that has been shortened a bit. And the Baker’s Twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (155475) has dots added to it using Metallics Enamel Effects Basic (161610) to create the chain effect. The background uses a simple crumbled paper technique.

How’s it done?

  1. Crumple the paper and then open it gently but don’t smooth out the paper too much.
  2. Open your Classic Ink Pad and drag it over the top.
  3. Repeat with the next color

This card uses Lemon Lime Twist, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie to create the camouflage effect.

You can add a spritz or two of water or rubbing alcohol to blend the colors a bit or even a bit of Blending Brush with some ink if you want to add color to the low spots. It’s a fun technique that I look forward to playing with. How about you?

This next card uses the more traditional look that the set inspires – the great out doors and hiking.

The Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper (163303) was used as a quick background perfect for the sentiment which highlights the disconnecting that one enjoys in the great out doors. A bit of Linen Thread (104199) was used to add some texture and mimic book laces and the sentiment has been cut out using the Deckled Rectangle Dies (159173) and some sponging to “weather it”.

This stamp set is one that I totally missed and after seeing these two cards will take another look at. I’m feeling inspired. How about you?

On a personal note: My procedure went well and feeling good about my recovery after seeing my surgeon today. Optimistic about the third time being the charm! I can spend time out of my sling which feels wonderful. I appreciate all your thoughts and well wishes and look forward to seeing everyone at classes again soon.

Don’t forget to stop back by tomorrow when I have another card tutorial for you
