Summer Splash and Coastal Cabana - the perfect pair!

These two colors are meant to be together. I started with the Summer Splash Unbounded Beauty DSP and the You are Beautiful Stamp Set, played with a few ideas and this card was ready for you.


Cutting

Thick Basic White - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

Unbounded Beauty DSP - 5 1/4 x 4

Basic White - 4 3/4 x 3 1/2, 2 x 1 1/4

In Color Glimmer Paper - 3 1/4 x 3 1/4

Assembly

Emboss the Unbounded Beauty DSP with the Painted Texture Embossing Folder, I like the look of this more than a flat piece of DSP. Adhere to the card base.

Die cut the Postage pieces for stamping. Stamp the leafy image in Coastal Cabana ink several times on the larger piece and the sentiment on the smaller piece in the same ink. Attach the larger postage piece with dimensionals to the card front. 

Die cut the leaves from Friends For Life dies out of the Summer Splash In Color Glimmer Paper. Adhere these to the middle of the card. 

Adhere the sentiment piece with dimensionals over the Glimmer Paper pieces. 

As a final touch add In Color Gems.

Time for cool summer colors!

Love Lemons

Lemons are high on my list of favorite decor items, and I will never pass up a Lemon Bar. I took some inspiration from another SU Demo's blog and the Mediterranean Blooms Desiger Series Paper, to create this card.



Cutting
Night of Navy - 5 1/2 x 8 x1/4, score at 4 1/4

Crushed Curry - 5 1/4 x 4

Mediterranean Blooms DSP- 5 1/8 x 3 7/8

Basic White - 5 1/4 x 4

Assembly

Fussy cut the lemon images from the DSP.

Cut the Crushed Curry label from the center of the card stock with the smallest rectangle die. Tap the label with the talc bag from the Embossing Tool Kit, stamp the sentiment in VeraMark Ink and cover with White Embossing Powder, set with the Heat Tool.

Attach the Crushed Curry Cardstock to the Night of Navy card base, top with the DSP.

I cut the lemon fussy cut piece in half, to make it longer on the card front. Attach this with Dimensionals and cover the cut area with the Crushed Curry Label.

Finish off the card with a bow from the Basic White Ribbon and two Misty Moonlight Tinsel Gems.

Add a piece of Basic White Cardstock to the inside of the card.

Enjoy the card and stay cool today!!
