Summer Celebration

I made 12 of these cards for some of the August birthdays for the church card ministry. I like to mix in cards that are season specific and this card is one of those times. I love these cheerful, summer-y images and the coordinating colors are perfect for summer time. I really hope that the people that receive one of these cards enjoy the fun images.

I bought the Summer Happiness bundle and washi tape early this summer and I love the images! They are perfect for summer-themed cards, scrapbook pages, and other projects. The washi tape in particular makes it super-easy to have multi-colored cheerful images quickly. I’m pretty sure this is the third coordinating washi tape that Stampin’ Up!® and I’ve bought every one of them. At first I wasn’t convinced, but I saw so may beautiful projects using the Extraordinary Flora Washi that I became convinced to give them a try. The washi tape partnered with coordinating dies really add something extra to projects and you get a lot of images on a roll of the tape. It’s a pretty inexpensive way to try something new using the tools you already have (if you have a die cutting machine).

I used the Banner Sayings bundle again for this batch of cards for the card ministry. This bundle really is turning out to be extremely handy and I’m so glad that I bought it! When I want a greeting that isn’t too big, but gets the message across, this stamp set and coordinating punch are perfect. I really encourage you to check it out!

I used a non-Stampin’ Up! die from my stash for the circle trio. I can’t give any info on it due to Stampin’ Up! policy, but I can use this as an opportunity to point out that you can combine products from different vendors when you create. Use any products that you love when you are crafting because it is all about having fun as you explore your creativity.
