fun in the sun

Hey everybody, happy Friday! With all the warm-weather projects I’m seeing around blogland and on the socials, I think just about everybody is ready for the cold weather to go away. Seems like Winter has just lingered, hasn’t it?! I’m delighted to share this interior stair step card with you today for Keep It Simple! This is another fun fold that I saw on Connie Stewart’s blog and it is indeed a fun one. It features papers, stamps, dies and die cut pieces from the new Summer Penguins collection! Talk about C-U-T-E… and needless to say, I had fun creating this little beach scene!

I cut the card base and components from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from assorted prints in the Summer Penguins 6×9 Collection Pack. I stamped several images from the Summer Penguins Collection Stamps on patterned paper and several on Solar White which I colored with Copics and cut them with the coordinating Outline Dies.

I built the sandbar with papers from the Back To Basics 6×9 Kraft Collection Pack, and the shoreline with paper from the same collection and the Back To Basics Wavy Borders Dies. As I added the elements to the card front, I popped several of them up with foam squares.

For the inside, I used additional papers from the Back To Basics Kraft 6×9 and Summer Penguins 6×9 Collection Packs. I grabbed a couple waves from the Summer Penguins Die Cut Pieces Megapack, and added a stamped sentiment and crab from the Summer Penguins Collection Stamps which I cut with the Summer Penguins Outline Dies. Super easy card that really packs a punch!
