Best Friend Ever With Kara

It's officially summer here in the US and I couldn't be happier! I had to pull out my Friends for All Seasons: Summer set to celebrate. I love making cards to send to friends 'Just Because' and this sentiment is perfect for that.

I started by using the three speech bubble stamps in the set to create a diagonal background. I drew one diagonal pencil line from corner to corner to get my pattern started. I stamped the speech bubbles alternating between Lake House, Nautical Navy, and Black PURE COLOR Dye Ink. I stamped and die cut about ten little bones to fill in the empty speech bubbles. I adhered them with dimensional adhesive and trimmed them anywhere they hung over the edge of the stamped panel.

I used the large Bold Banner Die to anchor my sentiment and main focal image. With such a busy background I love to leave stamped lined images uncolored. All that blue in the design needed a little pop of red. A die cut and Copic colored (R29) heart does the trick!

Now I just need a few more and I'm all set! Thanks so much for stopping by. See you again soon for July Release Week!

Hello Crafters! I hope you had a great weekend doing something that you absolutely love. I was crafting my little heart out!

I've been loving the rainbow cards lately, and now that Wplus9 has cuties for all the seasons I thought it was about time they got together for a little party!

I grabbed one little sweetheart from each of the Friends For All Seasons sets and got to work creating a fun brightly colored card. I think this would be fantastic as a birthday card from the whole family or a congratulations card from a group of work friends maybe?

You could even a build a scene behind them with the Landscapes Borders Die. Lots of options I think. If you'd like to see how I put my rainbow card together you can watch it all in the video below.

I love how you can get so many different neutrals in a card but still have it be off the charts colorful. I'm loving those floating hearts too. So fun!

Aren't these guys just the cutest? I'm already dreaming up more ways I can make them friends.

Thanks for stopping by!
