Happy summer, crafty friends! It's Yan here, and today I'm bringing a splash of tropical sunshine to your screen. Lately, I've been absolutely obsessed with the Balloon Alphabet Stamps and Dies — it is the perfect set for adding a cheerful, floating celebration to your summer projects!
To kick things off, I stamped the cheeky monkeys from the Monkey Business stamps onto Neenah Solar White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. For the scenery, I used the Tropical Trees Background Die to cut out the beautiful palm trees and sandy beach hills. I then brought all of these elements to life with my Copic markers.
COPIC COLOR:
Monkey: E30, E31, E35, E47, R30
Palm Trees: E18, E31, E35, E47, G14, G40, YG03, YG17
For the backdrop, I wanted a sunset that radiates summer heat. On a separate piece of white cardstock, I ink-blended a gorgeous gradient using Distress Oxide Inks in Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon, Squeezed Lemonade, and Salty Ocean. I just love how the fiery sunset tones melt into the ocean blue at the bottom—it instantly brought the whole tropical scene together!
Next was my absolute favorite part—creating the magic 'SUMMER' balloons! I stamped and die-cut the letters to spell out 'SUMMER' in soft pastel tones, and finished them off with a touch of glitter for that magical, iridescent shimmer. To make the design extra playful, I tied real white twine to the balloons, so it looks like my happy little monkey is holding on tight and flying right up into the sunset!
To finish the card, I layered the die-cut beach hills and palm trees to create a sense of depth. Then, I used foam tape to pop up the monkeys and the 'HELLO' sentiment banner. Adding that little bit of dimension really made the whole scene come alive and feel full of joy.
And there you have it! I hope this joyful summer project inspires you to get crafty with your stamps. Happy crafting, everyone!
