Hello Summer

Hi Crafty Friends,
I am in LOVE with Brass & Bliss NEW Summer Release! I used the NEW Hello Summer Stamp Set for this slimline and foursome collage. I love all the little summer icons especially the darling sunshine.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What is your favorite thing about summer?
A: Me? Getting to visit with my brother and his family who come in every year from Ireland

Card #1: Memories Made in Flip Flops

Step #1: I colored up my summer icons from the Brass & Bliss Hello Summer Stamp Set in shades of pink using Copic Sketch Markers R85, R83, R81 and RV06.


Step #2: For my background, I used Brass & Bliss Starburst Stencil with Color Fuse shades of pink and Brass & Bliss NEW Stencil Brushes. I made the centers of the bursts a darker shade of pink and then lighter on the outside.


Step #3: I used torn strips of beige cardstock with brown inked edges to create sand and mounted Brass & Bliss Slimline OPC Scallop Die overtop my stenciled background. Then I added my pink icons in each square and finished my card with the cute flip flop sentiment.


Card #2: Hello Summer Foursome

For this version of the Brass & Bliss Hello Summer Stamp Set I used Copic Sketch Markers to color everything in rainbow colors.

Whoo is Owl-ways on My Mind?

Hi Crafty Friends,
I LOVE the owl stamps from Ink N' Splatter. The Owl-some Owls set has two boy owls and two girl owls.

I hope this card inspires you to plant some fresh herbs and embrace your green thumb. I used Poppy Stamps Flower Pots and Stems to create these cute little herb pots.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you grow herbs? Which ones?
A: Me? No, but my sister grows a ton of basil and rosemary

I started my card by creating the background using Poppy Stamps Criss Cross Heart Stencil with Distress Oxide Mowed Lawn Ink and splattered with green and white paint.

I mounted the Poppy Stamps Scalloped Stitched Frames in two different shades of green cardstock and then mounted the entire background on a kraft cardstock card base.
Final_5 (2)I layered the cute flower pots with just the leaf dies to look like herbs in the center of my card and finished with the darling sentiments from the Poppy Stamps Spring Banner Stamps & Dies.
