Summer Fun with Miss Kate Cuttables

Today I am making a fun summer card for MKC. These cute popsicles are adorable!! The great thing about this file is you get 4 popsicles to choose from!! I only used 2 of them for this project. I saved the other 2 for another one.

Before we get into the project, don't forget to head over to Miss Kate Cuttables for the DAILY FREEBIE! 

On to the project!!

You can find the designs I used HERE. The file is called "Popsicle Set" but if you don't find one you like in this set you can find more popsicles HERE.

I cut out all my popsicles and glued the layers together and then added a layer of crystal effects over the popsicle parts. I set these aside to dry.

I made some simple backgrounds for these cards since I wanted the main focus on the popsicles. The green card is using a simple dot die cut which I cut out of white and layered over some light green cardstock and mounted on an A2 card base.

For the orange popsicle background I used a dotted embossing folder with white paper and mounted it on an orange A2 card base.

I wanted a simple sentiment that would not take away from my popsicle image. I chose a simple "SWEET" word from "Valentine Word Set". After I cut the word out of black I glued it on the card front. For the green card, I added some glitter pen for some shine.

For the orange one I added some crystal effects over the word "Sweet" to do something different. After I added the dried popsicles to my cards I was finished with these two "sweet" cards! I can use them for a: Thinking of you, Birthday, Summer hello, Graduation card, or a Thank you card. This is a great card to add to your stash for when you need a card in a hurry.

Enjoy!

God's Masterpiece with Joy Clair Stamps

Hi! I'm here with a clean and simple card using the new stamp set by Joy Clair called, "God's Masterpiece". You can find this stamp set and a lot more from this new release HERE.



As you can see, the card is a simple one. I just added a picture of my daughter in the easel frame after I stamped the fun splotches and I was done. (I blurred out my daughter's face for privacy reasons)
Let's make this card!!

• Pick any size card base. I used an A2 but you can do this with any size, 4x6, 5x7 or the one I did 4.25 x5.5.
• Stamp the sentiment, "God's Masterpiece" at the top of the card in black ink. (I used VersaFine Clair Nocturne. You can purchase it at Imagine Crafts.)
• On a scrap piece of paper, stamp the easel and color with some colored pencils or markers. (I used colored pencils from Leisure Arts)
• Cut out the inside frame and add your favorite person or pet in the opening you made.
• For the fun part, stamp the paint splotches from the set all over the card front using your favorite colors. I used a lot of brights for my pallet. Get creative and play with color for different looks.
• Color the letter's in the word, GOD'S with colored pencil to match my stamping. I used Leisure Arts Premium colored pencils. They are so creamy they are like coloring with butter.

• To add some dimension and some shine, I added some Glossy Accents over my splotches. Set aside to dry.
• When dry, add your easel image with some foam tape and you are done! (I used a corner rounder on 2 sides to make the card a bit more interesting, this is optional)

I hope you like my card! Give it a try! For more inspiration subscribe to my newsletter so you don't miss a single idea!

Penny Black

This Penny Black stamp set is great for all occasions. I water colored the image and used my nestabilities dies to cut the mats out. I used a faux water color paper for the background and added some flowers I purchased at Michale's. The other little goodies I purchased at my local dollar store. For the finishing touch, I used glossy accents on the balloons.
