I have another fun summertime five minute card for you today. I created a super simple card using the Spotlight on Nature bundle and some Summer Splash cardstock. I love this cardstock almost as much as the name. I don’t know why it just makes me happy. I hope this card will make you smile today.
I started with a white card, I know it is hard to see in the photo, but trust me you want to begin with a Basic White cardbase. I then added a panel of the Summer Splash. I ran it through the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine with one of the dies from Texture Notes. I love these dies. They just add a little pizzazz to each project.
I stamped the circle from Elements of Text in Smoky Slate ink on a panel of Basic White. I added the flower image from Spotlight on Nature w/Memento Black ink and colored the flowers with the Summer Splash alcohol markers. Remember if you don’t have these markers, you can use the regular ink pad and an aqua painter brush filled with alcohol. You don’ t need to color in the entire flower, just add a splash of color. I added a few dots w/Memento Black ink and cropped the image with one of the circles from the Spotlight on Nature dies. These are gorgeous circles that will enhance any card project. It totally encourage you to try them out.
I wanted a little more depth, so I added some Summer Splash color around the circle words with a blending brush and then attached my circle to my card front. You can use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach if you want even more depth to your card. To finish off my card, I stamped the thinking of you from The Right Words w/Memento Black ink and then added a little bling.
I hope you enjoy today’s card creation and will check out the rectangle dies from Textured Notes and the circles from Spotlight on Nature. Happy Stamping!

Happy Monday everyone. While it may be too hot for the flowers to be in bloom in your neighborhood, we can always count on Stampin’ Up! for amazing flower designer series paper. The Florals In Bloom paper pack does not disappoint. It is colorful and makes me think of a sunny spring day. So I thought why not do a 6 x 6 One Sheet Wonder (OSW). This is a 12 x 12 paper pack so you will need to cut the paper of your choice down just a bit. The good news is that you get four- 6×6 pieces out of one sheet. And today, we are making 3 cards out of one 6 x 6 section, so let’s get started.
