Dies R Us - Hello Summer!

 

Hello, it's Angie here today with a fun summer card using some dies from Impression Obsession and Cheapo Dies.  I also used patterned paper from Carta Bella called "Beach Day".

Here's how I made this card.  First I did all the die cutting, the Hello Summer die from Impression Obsession and the flip flops from Cheapo dies. 

 
I glued both sets of flip flops (brown and striped) together so it would look like the soles were brown with stars. This Cheapo die cuts really well, but the pieces also stayed in the whole cut so it made it easy to put together with just regular scotch tape on the bottom, then glued the striped part on top with the Zig 2 Way Glue Pen.


Next I too one sheet of the "Beach Day" patterned paper in woodgrain with stripes at the bottom and then another piece of the woodgrain patina color and covered some of the stripes below the green one, because the other colors made the background too busy.  Then I cut that panel down a little on the side so the strips would show on the side of the card.  I love the papers in this pack!


The sun dies I used is from an older retired summer set in my stash but there are other suns in the Dies R Us store right HERE.  Next I added Nuvo Morning Dew drops to the middle of the sun, above you can see what it looks like before it dries.  Below is one more look at my finished card:


I hope you enjoyed my card today!  I had so much fun making it!

  2. What a fabulous card! I love the texture and dimension you created on those flip-flops! I also think the wood background is so creative and love how you added colored stripes. It reminds me of one of those awesome vintage surfboards or something. The whole thing came together perfectly and I'm so glad you shared your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
