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.
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!

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a Winter scene card featuring the Waffle Flower Slimline Christmas Tree Dies for the Die Cut Divas challenge. This month's the challenge is Christmas in July.
I sprayed some colored cardstock with some Chroma Mist in Peacock and Oz Dust to give the trees some shimmer and texture. I added a bit of Fallen Snow Glitter Glaze to the snow for a bit more shimmer. I used an embossing folder from my stash to created a faux snow background. Popped up my sentiment and added a few crystals for a finishing touch.
