Hello Summer

Hey everybody! Is your weather on this Terrific Thursday as wonderful as ours out here in southwestern Colorado?! OMGoodness, I wish it could stay like this year-round! I’m back this morning with another ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project created with the amazing June 2023 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades! Square cards are fun and just a tad bit different than the usual A2 or slimline sizes. This 5″ square card features papers and stickers from this month’s collection as well as a few adhesive brads from the upgrades. I used one of my favorite die sets and love how it turned out! Dress me up and you can take me anywhere, lol! ;)

I cut a 5″ square top-folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with a layering panel from a pretty yellow print in this month’s kit. I grabbed the Keep It Simple Party Dress dies and cut the dress from two more prints in the collection, using the dress as a stand-alone element rather than a card. I embellished the waistline with several adhesive brads from the upgrades and added a sentiment from the ephemera in the upgrades (popped up on a foam strip) along with a tiny sticker from the sticker sheet.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with border stickers from the sticker sheet. I added a sentiment from the ephemera pack in the upgrades and layered the panel on Papertrey Ink Orange Zest cardstock.

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We have 10 feline rescues. I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty lovins! ;)

    p.s. sorry I haven’t been around much and thanks for your lovely comments on my blog, my MIL passed away last week so I’ll probably be missing in action for a little longer. I’ll be sure to pop by when I can. x
