Arpicot Teal Watercolor Trio

This is another Watercolor Trio (Summer Mini) card.

The colors for this card are Apricot Appeal and Taken With Teal.

I used markers to ink up the images and then stamped

on Whisper White.  I then ran both pieces through the Big Shot

Finial Press embossing folder and mounted on Taken with Teal

The card base is Apricot, with an Apricot ribbon.

I hope that you had a great Memorial Day.

Memorial Day T-Shirt

Paula Achaerbigler did a very cool t-shirt with the motorcycle

from the  summer mini on the front.  That gave me the idea for this

Memorial Day T-shirt card.

I used the large oval punch to cut out the neck and arm holes

in a Brilliant Blue card base.

I also cut out large oval real red slivers to accent the arm holes.

Punched out 3 stars and added gold brads.

The Whisper White band was stamped with "Thank You" 

from the Upsy Daisy set.

Assemble and this card is done.

On Board Briefcase Scrapbook

The Summer Mini features several On Board chipboard products,
including a large cog and the Briefcase displayed above (page 23).

This chipboard is easy to ink. In the sample above, I inked the cover

with craft Rose Red craft ink and while it was still wet, added Glassy Glaze

Embossing Power.  Before embossing, I dragged through the Glassy Glaze

with a stylus, removing some of the EP.  Then I heat embossed. This technique 

yields a faux leather look.  The scrapbook is tied closed with wide ribbon.

Inside, I used Modern DP and Bermuda Bay cardstock.  

Pages were stamped with the Elements of Style set on page 12-13 of the mini.

A Big Shot 2 tags tag was added to one of the DP pockets.

Presto Patterns Butterfly

I really like the new Presto Patterns Specialty paper in the Summer Mini.

It has an embossed look when you brayer or sponge color over it.

This means that you essentially have any color of patterned DP you want.

In this example, I brayered Pirouette Pink ink over one of the patterns.

I punched out the butterflies and sponged them with Certainly Celery.

Pearls from the Pretties Kit were added.

White Satin ribbon was bunched and stapled along one side.  A Chocolate

Corduroy button was attached at the bottom of the ribbon strip

The senitment comes from the Mini Level 1 hostess set, "It's the Thought".

MDS Summer Splendor on Navy

SU sells Digital Crafting software, or downloads to enable purchase of

the stamp and designer paper images for you to use as clip art.

The above card uses the MDS Summer Splendor Designer Series Paper download.

This DP is so delightful and coordinates with SU cardstock. This enables you

to print out your creations and adhere them to cardstock, for quick cards!

This Summer Splendor design was attached to a cardstock base that

was run through the Big Shot Manhattan Flower Embossing folder.

Smooch Presto DP 2 Tag

I CASED this treat container from someone, 

but sadly, their name was not on the project. 

This is a 2-tag container made with textured Bermuda Bay 

card stock.  The Crushed Curry panel is brayered Presto Patterns

(Specialty paper on page 15 of the Summer Mini).  Elements of Style, 

from the Summer Mini was used for the sentiment.  Both the

Presto DP and sentiment were sprayed with Gold Glow Smooch Spritz.

Crushed Curry Grosgrain, wrapped with an Ice Circle Brad, was

tied to the top of the treat container.
