Summer Cards
>> Tuesday, June 8, 2021
Hi Everyone,
I know it's not officially summer yet, but it's 90F degrees here, so I feel like it's in full swing! Here are a couple of cards to kick off the season.
This card I made a while ago, but I'm happy to share the beachy themed card today. The beach just screams summer, and vacation, and relaxation, and happiness, and...! It's all goodness in my book.
I sponged some ink onto the background and the beach themed greeting too. I made the beachy background by adding die cut wavy ric rack for water and some Splatter Background stamped sand. A punched sun, die cut flip flops and some stamped and fussy cut starfish completed the card.
A friend's son graduated from military school, so I chose to make him a patriotic graduation card. Red. white and blue says American summertime to me as well, so it's reflects the time of year for this milestone too.
I dry embossed the background and added a stamped panel made using Grad Hat Hooray. The Graduation is the Beginning sentiment was die cut and I embossed and fussy cut the Brush Mortarboard, adding it with some pop dots.
Since this card was being sent to a guy, I resisted the urge to add gemstones and just added a gift inside...lol!
Here hoping the summer season is off to a happy start for you!

Karin, these are two really fun cards! Love the beach details and colors on the first and agree it feels like summer around here! The second is very appropriate for a guy and the "bling" you added inside will be much appreciated! Love the texture and patriotic feel! Super cards my friend! Hugz
These are two super cards, Karin! The grad card is perfect for a guy - I love the mixed background and classic layout. The beach card definitely has me thinking it's time to get some sand between my toes!!
Love the colors and textures on the graduation card, fantastic layout too!
One your beach scene I totally love the layout and the die cut shoes and shore plus the fab bg on the sky and sentiment circle!! Very fun card for anyone to get.
I really love that summer card. Great layout, textures and bright and cheery.
Oh that graduation card is just perfect. I feel I have been cranking out graduation cards and that sentiment is one of my all time favorites. It is so fitting for graduates.
These are wonderful, Karin! Love your summer card w/ the flip flops & waves. The colors are perfect.Your grad card is so inspirational & I love the layout.
