Hey friends! Cathy here
today sharing a fresh summer card featuring the Slice
of Summer Stamps. Summer is my favorite season and I just love
making tropical cards!
This is an A2 size card and I’ve combined some beautiful
tropical products on this one. I started by die-cutting a piece of white
cardstock using the largest Stitched
Rectangle Die and inked it with Kitsch Flamingo Distress ink. I
then embossed it using the Moroccan
Circles Embossing Folder. I matted it on black cardstock and adhered
it to the card front.
Next, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the largest Fancy
Frames Oval Die. For the ocean background on this piece, I placed a
post-it note across the oval 1 1/2" from the bottom and inked the bottom
of the oval with Antique Linen Distress ink. I left the post-it note in place
and die-cut a piece of eclipse masking tape using the sand portion of the Tropical
Trees Backdrop Die. I placed this across the very bottom of the oval
and inked the ocean with Peacock Feathers Distress ink. I inked lighter in some
areas to allow a little of the Antique Linen ink to show through as a
reflection of the sky on the water. I removed the masks and placed the post-it
note over the ocean/sand. I then inked the sky with Kitsch Flamingo, Dried
Marigold, Scattered Straw and Tumbled Glass Distress inks. I heat embossed the
HELLO sentiment from the Radiant
Plumeria Stamps with black embossing powder 2” from the top of
the oval and 1” from the left edge.
I die-cut the largest Fancy
Frames Oval Die from black cardstock and adhered the frame to
the ocean background on the card front. I die-cut the Tropical
Trees Backdrop Die from black cardstock and adhered the largest
palm tree and a seagull.
To finish, I stamped the limes from the Slice
of Summer Stamps using Simon Says Stamp Celery, Limelicious and
Pearfection inks and die-cut them using the coordinating
dies. I stamped the plumeria from the Radiant
Plumeria Stamps using various pink and yellow inks from my
stash and die-cut it using the coordinating
dies. Finally, I heat embossed the “Summer” sentiment from the
Radiant Plumeria Stamps on black cardstock with white embossing powder and
fussy cut around the sentiment.
