Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here - Let's bring on the sunshine with this bright and cheerful Hello Summer Card! Featuring soft popsicle patterns, layered die cuts, and a glittery summer treat, this card is perfect for sending warm-weather greetings to friends and family.

Supplies

• Embellishments Chipboard Punchouts Summer
• Yellow Cardstock
• Dark Yellow Cardstock
• White Cardstock
• Specialty Shimmer Paper - Yellow
• Popsicle Pattern Paper
• Turquoise Pattern Paper
• Acrylic Paints: Yellow, Turquoise, and White
• Various Dies
• Tiny Gems
• Bearly Art Glue
• Foam Tabs
• Paint Brush

Instructions

Step 1: Create the Card Base

Cut a piece of yellow cardstock to create an A2-sized card base (4¼" x 5½"). Set aside.

Step 2: Die Cut the Layers

Using your various dies, cut:

• A large stitched rectangle from yellow cardstock for the background panel.
• A long decorative panel from white cardstock for the center of the card.
• Two accent pieces from pattern papers to layer behind your focal elements.
• A die cut doily from white cardstock.

Step 3: Add Summer Color

Using a paint brush, apply acrylic paints to the punched out words:

• Turquoise for cool accents.
• Yellow for sunny highlights.

Allow the paint to dry completely before assembling.

Step 4: Create the Focal Image

Choose a popsicle from the Summer Chipboard Punchouts. Add a bit of glue to the popsicle and place the specialty paper onto it. The texture of the paper creates a frosty summer look. I let dry then I trimmed the extra paper.

Step 5: Build the Card Front

Next, I adhered the die cut pattern paper to the white cardstock(2-1/4"x5-1/4"). I centered and adhered the popsicle paper onto the white cardstock strip and then adhered the turquoise paper allow a bit of space between the papers.

Adhere the yellow background panel to the card base.

Step 6: Add the Sentiment

Attach the "Hello" from the Summer Puchout Chipboard word near the top of the center panel. I added the Summer Word just below the hello.

Step 7: Finish the Focal Point

I adhere the popsicle chipboard punchout on top of the doily. I placed the doily element toward the lower right side of the card. I used foam tabs to make it stand out.

Step 8: Embellish

Scatter several tiny gems around the card front to add sparkle and visual balance.

Step 9: Complete Your Card

Check that all layers are secure and enjoy your bright summer-inspired creation!

I sprayed some colored cardstock with some Chroma Mist in Peacock and Oz Dust to give the trees some shimmer and texture.

Popped up my sentiment and added a few crystals for a finishing touch.
