Layout for July 2020

The July layout is based on the Scrapbooking Creative Insider two-page design provided by CTMH...

Supplies
B&T paper - Summer Vibes
Cardstock -Smoothie, Lemonade,Nectarine and White Daisy
Ink - Fern, Candy Apple, Intense Black
Stamps - D1290 August Word Puzzle (retired), Z3744 Summer Vibes Cardmaking, and Z3723, Palm Paradise

The yellow top strip is made with a Fiskars punch.  Watermelon slices, leaves bottom left and right, and flip-flops are fussy cut so there is no white strip.  "Fun in the Sun" and the other leaves are stamped on.

Your layout will also include one flip-flap... size will be my choice based on what I have!  If you have a preference, 3x4, 4x4, or 4x6, let me know and it will be who I hear from first! (I have a whole pack of 4x6, partial packs of the others!)

Happy stamping!!

Challenge #12

Challenge #12 is to create a card (or 2!) from pieces I have sent you stamped/cut with Z3742 Summer Vibes--Cardmaking Stamp + Thin Cuts.  This card is based on Cardmaking Creative Insider designed by CTMH.

I have sent you what you need to recreate the card I made, shown below.  Of course, feel free to create whatever moves you with these pieces!

I covered the fish scales with clear shimmer brush, and added sequins from the Crafty sequin mix (retired).  The fish is stamped in smoothie, the words in fern, and the bubbles in glacier.

Happy stamping!

Challenge #11

Challenge #11 is on the way... in Wednesday afternoon mail!  The stamped pieces are Z3723 Palm Paradise Stamp + Thin Cuts from the May-June catalog.  The tag has "aloha friend" on one side, and "you're the best" on the other.  The pieces of B&T paper are from the Mix-In pack.  As I am looking at the card now, I think I'll tie some dark blue ribbon at the top of the tag...

Sorry I did not think to send more than one parrot!  This parrot appears to be a macaw, and you can look up different color schemes on the internet...

Happy stamping!

Challenge #10

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July!

Sorry I am slow getting this posted... had some difficulty making my own card!  I sent the pieces out before I made my card, and the idea I had did not totally work...

So, for Challenge #10, which is stamped die cuts from the Summer Vibes Cardmaking Workshop Kit, G1209, I made the following card... Patterned after one of the workshop cards, but different!  Hope you can come up with something better!

I did use the watercolor paints to color the snowcones and the "stay cool".  I also toyed with the idea of using the blue side of the b&t strip, but at list minute decided on the summer print.  Hum..... maybe a bigger piece of b&t paper would have been better... NEVER AGAIN will I send out the pieces before I finish my card!!

See what you can do...  Happy stamping!!!
