Summer Float Shape Card

Hello PPPR Friends!

 

Are you enjoying your summer?  I hope you're keeping cool!

 

It's Kathy, from Kathy and Kids, and I have this yummy shape card to share with you today!

 

Growing up, summers also meant having root beer floats!  I loved having them!  (even if I got a stomach ache from too much carbonation and sugar)

I cut an extra 'mug' piece and added it to the back to create a card.

It's SUMMER!

Well, almost...but it counts..HOT + SUNNY + BORED CHILDREN = Summer

We're in full summer boredom swing. You can only go to the pool so many times. Yet we still go each day...because I think Paddy and Mack are part fish. I'm certain there's gills behind their ears or something. We're reading, waiting and anticipating an upcoming trip to Michigan! ❤

In the midst of preventing mutiny at my house, I have been hard at work creating! 

I created this card just for the occasion! I used the Sunscreen Cutting Files & Popsicle Fever Cutting Files:

Here's a close up of the cute sunscreen bottle and push-up pop:

Thanks for stopping by and check back tomorrow for Friday Freebie, new designs and a great Guest Designer!

Hi Chickadee ~ Cameo Creations Summer Challenge

Happy Thursday!  I hope everyone's week has been AWESOME so far!  Well, it's time for another challenge over at Cameo Creations.  This time, the theme is to create a Summer project using your Silhouette machine.  Here's what I came up with:

This fun little penguin digital stamp came from Bugaboo Digi Stamps...it's the Poppi Penguin Innertube stamp.  Isn't he just adorable?  I used Silhouette Studio to trace him and fill the pieces with colors and patterns, then I used the print and cut function on my Cameo to cut him out.  

The card base came from the Silhouette Online Store.  I cut it from double sided Echo Park paper so there would be different patterns showing.  Then, I stamped my fun sentiment (from Pink by Design's Bracketful Stamp Set) on the white piece, ran it through my Cuttlebug and my Tim Holtz Retro Circles embossing folder, and inked it a bit so the texture would show up a little better.  I added some jewels and some doodles, popped up my penguin with foam tape, and my card was all done.  Easy peasy!

Now it's your turn.  Head on over to Cameo Creations to see what the other design team members created. Then, link up your own Summer-Themed Silhouette project.  You could be the lucky winner of  7 free digi stamps from Bugaboo.  You have two weeks to link up...I can't wait to see what you create! :)

Surf's Up ~ SOUS Die Cut Challenge June 1

Wow!  Happy June 1, everyone, and TGIF!  This year is just flying by!  I can't believe it's almost half-way gone!  Well, it's time for another Stuck on U Sketches Die Cut Challenge, and this challenge's theme is "I Love Summer".  Well, when I think of summer, I think of the beach, so I decided to make a card with a beachy-type theme.  Here it is:

This card was really simple to make with my Silhouette Studio and my Cameo.  I got the entire front of the card (sentiment, surf boards, and all) from this Echo Park Surf's Up Dude file from the Silhouette Online Store (SOS).  I filled the background of the file with this Skyline Park Printable Pattern by American Crafts  from the SOS and used the print and cut feature in Silhouette Studio to cut it out.  Then, I created an offset layer (shadow layer) of this background shape ,  mirrored it, and welded the two together to form the card base. Then, I just added some ink and stippled a little brown ink on the background kraft layer (to make it look more like sand), and my card was all finished.  I hope you like it!

Now, it's your turn!  Head on over to Stuck on U Sketches to see what the other Design Team members created.  Then, create your own "I Love Summer" themed project (using a die cut), and link it up at SOUS. I can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  My oldest daughter's birthday party is this weekend, so I'll be sharing some decorations I made for her with you soon!  Have a wonderful weekend!
