Flip Flop Fun!

Good Morning Friends!

It is Pam sharing today! I thought it would be fun to do a card featuring my favorite summer shoes!  Yes you guessed it Flip Flops.  I don't know what I would do without them!

Design Steps:

 1.  Using the Flip Flop die cut out the shoes using yellow and pink card stock.  Ink the edges of the shoes with coordinating ink colors.  Glue the pink tops to the yellow and the yellow tops to the pink

 2.  Cut out 3 waves using the Wave Border die.  I used 2 different colors of blue card stock

 3. Cut out a 2 x 5 1/8 inche piece of kraft card stock, Cut out a 4 x 5 1/8 piece of designer cloud paper and a 51/4 x 4 1/8 piece of teal card stock

 4.  Run the kraft card stock through the embossing machine.  Glue the cloud paper and kraft paper to the team card stock

5.  Staggering the waves glue them together then glue to card.  Pop dot the flip flops to the card and add a flower rhinestone to the shoes.  Finally stamp your sentiment and pop to card front

Hope your summper is going great!  And you get a chance to put on those flip flops and head to the beach on just sit by the pool!

Blessings

Circle Die Cut Background - Gladiolus Flower

Welcome to Wednesday's blog post. It's Janet from SugarShine Designs here to share a summer card with a die cut circle background. I'm always looking for ways to get the most of my basic dies and this is one more idea for that. I hope it will inspire you to try it. Circles could work equally well on a scrapbook page don't you think? This technique adds a lot of texture, especially if you emboss them as I did here. The stitched detail on the circles really add a nice touch to the overall image too.

Here in North Carolina, we're already hitting low 90's regularly so I am totally in the mood to create summer scenes on my projects. Today's project features the Gladiolus stamp and die set which is the August flower in the Birthday Flowers release from January. I had to have this one because Glads were my Grandma's favorite garden flower and August is my birthday month. After coloring the die cut with PrismaColor pencils and a little Wink of Stella on the flower centers, I mounted it on the background with foam tape. The card also features the Discover Expression Plus die which I coated with clear heat embossing to add thickness and gloss. So pretty!

A couple weeks ago, Pam shared her gorgeous Prayers card. She used torn vellum as a background for one of the new word dies and that inspired me to do something similar. In my card, I used some glittered fiber from my stash to mount the word.

There's a lot more to share with you about this project. To find out all the details of how to make this card along with dimensions and supplies, please go to the video below.

Thanks for spending some time here at the Scrapping Cottage. Hope you'll be back tomorrow to see another project from our creative Design Team!
