summer lovin'...

Hello!  We are thick into Summer vacation here and learning how to adjust to the new routine :).  As soon as I'm adjusted, it will be time for school to start again, right?

I have a few cards to share with you today.  My first uses a few of my favorite Papertrey Ink stamp sets, Forget-Me-Not, A Bit More:  Butterfly Blooms, Fancy Flourishes, and Penned Elegance.

The Forget-Me-Not set was used on my background florals, stamping in Pale Peony, Autumn Rose, Aqua Mist, Ocean Tides, Stormy Sea, and Ripe Avocado.  

I used the Penned Elegance stamp set and coordinating die for my sentiment, stamping in Autumn Rose.  I just love the butterfly from A Bit More:  Butterfly Blooms, so I added one stamped in Spring Moss, and then finished with Fancy Flourishes stamped in Ocean Tides and some Bitty Big:  Pale Peony paper.

I used the sweet Baby Mine stamp set and coordinating dies on my next card....what a darling baby set this is!

I used the new Cloud Stencils in the background, sponging them in Aqua Mist.  My sentiment is stamped in Stormy Sea with my tiny elephant stamped with an outline of Pale Peony ink and die cut from patterned paper.  I then stamped the polka dotted ear on white cardstock and cut it out so that I could create a little dimension.

The elephant was layered over a scalloped circle cut using the Shape Shifters:  Circle 2 die.  Across the bottom of my card I added stamped flowers in coordinating colors using images from the Gathered Garden stamp set. 

And lastly, this card was created for Emma's Paperie and is based on a beautiful color combination you can find on the blog.

I used the Miss Betty collection from Kaisercraft and LOVE it!  What sweet, vintage inspired images you'll find in this collection.  

All of the supplies used on this card can be found HERE at Emma's Paperie.

Enjoy your week and thank you for stopping!
