Island Getaway Sushine Card with Lexa

Hello everyone!  Lexa here with a bright summer-y card showcasing the Island Getaway stamp set and coordinating dies. You already know that coordinating dies surely make your life easier, right? :)

I chose to use all bright colors for this one.  It reminds me of one hot sunny day... it's just me and my flip flops walking under the trees' shade. Did you just smile imagining that? Or is it just me? Hehe. First I cut my pink panel to 2.25" x 5.5" and created a tone-on-tone background by stamping some hibiscus images with Hero Arts Pale Tomato. The bigger hibiscus are from Tropical Paradise stamps, while the smaller one (and the leaves) are from Island Getaway. They matched perfectly!

The circle diecut is blended with some Squeezed Lemonade and Wild Honey Distress Inks on the edges. I die-cut the Sunshine Word Die four times and layered them together to get some dimension. All the images are stamped with Versafine Onyx Black and watercolored with Distress Markers. I also cut a strip of burlap to add an extra fun texture for this card. Last but not least I added my favorite clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

Island Getaway Happy Summer Flip Flops card with Vanessa

Hey everybody! Vanessa here with a summer card using "Island Getaway". 

Can you feel the breeze? No? Well, I can't, either :) We are having a break from sunny spring weather in Germany at the moment and instead of a summery breeze it is more like a stormy gust of wind, so summer seems very far away. But I hope my card will bring back the memories of a warm summer day.

I just had to showcase the cute flip flops. First, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock slightly smaller than my card base and inked the middle part with mint ink. Then I added tiny droplets of the same ink to the panel. I stamped the sentiment and adhered the panel to the card. Now I stamped, colored and die-cut all the rainbow flip flops and adhered them with foam tape. VoilĂ ! Summer!

Fun Island Getaway Monkey & Flip Flops Card with Lindsey

Hi Lindsey here today sharing a card using the adorable and fun Island Getaway stamp set. The little monkey in her bikini is just too cute, and of course I had to make it polka dot! Let's get started!

I began by stamping out the monkey, palm tree, island, and flip flops. I colored all the images using Copic markers and cut them out using the Island Getaway coordinating dies. I added white polka dots to the bikini and flip flops using a white gel pen. Next, I cut a small stitched rectangle out of some wavy patterned paper. I adhered the island, monkey, and palm tree to the rectangle creating a little island scene. The palm tree and island hung off slightly, creating some visual interest. 

I also cut an A2 size rectangle out of teal cardstock for my card base. I adhered the small rectangle with the island scene onto the center of the card base using foam tape. Then I adhered one flip flop to the right corner of the small rectangle and the other flip flop to the right corner of the card base. I stamped my sentiment in black ink on the bottom of my card base. As a finishing touch, I added some white dots around the corners of the small rectangle and some glitter pen to the bikini and flip flops. I just love how cute the little monkey looks on her own private island! Ha ha!

Island Getaway: Wish you were here with Anni

Hey stampers, Anni here, sharing a card using the awesome set Island Getaway!  I am totally ready for a summer vacation but mine is still two month away! So I have to create some vacation atmosphere by card making.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Island Getaway Palm Tree Wish You Were Here card by Anni Lerche.

I started by stamping, coloring and fussy cutting the palm tree and the island from the set. Copics are my go to coloring medium for fast and easy coloring. What is your favorite way to color an image?

For the background I added some ink blending in turquoise to a piece of white cardstock. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in white on a stripe of black cardstock.
For a visual triangle I adhered a piece of black and white striped patterned paper and finished my card with some sequins.
