Lunch Bunch Cards for June


This first card was created using the Half Full stamp set and the Garden Trellis Embossing Folder.  Creating the sentiment and stamped image on a layer that looks like a tag looks wonderful on this card.  Even though we had to fussy cut the "tag" and grapes, it wouldn't look the same without adding this dimension to the card.  The saying "Wine improves with age.  We improve with wine!" was a favorite for everyone.  The color combination in this card makes it stand out as well (Fresh Fig, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lime Twist).

This second card was created using my new favorite...the Sitting Pretty bundle.  My daughter convinced me to purchase this bundle during Stampin' Up! Demonstrator's Pre-Sale and I am so glad that I did.  I LOVE the bulldog and benches that go along with this set!  It makes me smile every time I am creating a card with this set.

Stamp Cards for June

This month we focused on using the new In Colors and new colors in the SU! Collections.  I love all the vibrant colors and how well they all go together.  I hope you will be able to give a few new color combinations a try.
This card was a favorite of mine as soon as I created it.  The little bulldog is such a cutie and sitting on that bench makes me want to sit down and enjoy the day with him.

This card uses the new stamp set called Enjoy Life.  This set has flowers, butterflies, a person biking and a person with their hands up in joy.  There are so many different ways to use this set that I feel like I could create tons of cards without ever repeating one of the stamps in the set.

The idea for this card came from a decor idea I saw on Pinterest.  I changed it up to create a fun 4th of July or summer birthday card using the new In Color Blueberry Bushel, some Real Red and Whisper White for the chairs.  Adding just a bit of shading on the sand gave it just enough depth to look like these chairs were sitting on the beach waiting for someone to enjoy them.
