August Stamp Class

It's summer time, with sunny days full of bright colors and times to gather with friends and celebrate!  Here are some cheerful cards that will bring a smile to everyone's face for whatever event you may be attending or want to send along to them!


When I saw the Layering Alphabet die set in this year's catalog, I knew that was one splurge tool that I really needed to own (thanks  Host Rewards! You can do this too!)  There are many different ways to use the dies and coordinating stamp set, but here is one that's basic just so that you can get a feel for how these dies work.  There is a frame that each letter locks into so that you can cut perfectly straight layers. Plus I thought this layered design matched perfectly with this new triple-layer card fold that really shows off the colors in the Broadway Bound Designer Papers. You can also cut the letters and use them alone, we'll do that another time.

Flip over the Broadway Bound Papers to see some real glitz and shine!  If you like sophisticated black and gold tones, then you'll love this bold shaker window that raises up into an easel fold card. Filled with sequins and glitter, it will be a hit for our more glamorous friends and family members who are "good as gold" to us!

Just below is an enlarged tag-fold card that fits into a smaller note-sized envelope.  We'll use the square cut out from the shaker window card above to create this quick and easy gift card enclosure, a design that you'll want to remember for all of those times when you might not have time to make a full sized card. Add a button, a little ribbon, and some washi tape, (from your stash of scraps?)  and you're done!

Our refreshing lemonade card is so much fun, you'll want to keep at least one of these just to bring a smile to your own face.  With the one stamp and some simple cuts, why not make a few of these each time summer rolls around?  I love this card because it is creative fun at it's best!
