Hello, friends and hello summer! It’s Junell here sharing a couple greeting cards I made using the June 2021 kit and extras. Everybody, including myself, loves to get some happy mail and the cheerful, summery colors in this kit are sure to put a smile on someone’s face!
Supplies | June 2021 Kit, June Labels, Summer Label Stickers, Navy Parker Acetate Alphabet Stickers, Good Times Paper Stack, Celebrate Summer Stamp
Both of my cards started with a white cardstock base sized at 4.25 by 5.5 inches, one landscape and the other vertical.
For the first card, I had a ton of fun stamping! I used the sun stamp in the Celebrate Summer Stamp and three different colors of Distress Oxides: Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry, and Salvaged Patina. These are three very bright, summery colors.
I randomly stamped the Mustard Seed color with the sun stamp all over the front of the card and then did the same with the other two colors, spacing them out as evenly as possible.
The Navy Parker Acetate Alphabet Stickers are perfect for the sentiment on the front. I spelled out summer with the alphas and used the Celebrate Summer Stamp to stamp the word “celebrate” above “summer” in a solid color, as well as the outline to give it some definition. I used the same outline word to do second-generation stamping. It adds life and movement and excitement for summer!
On my second card, I played around with 3 x 4 inch tags from the June 2021 Kit and patterned paper from the Good Times Paper Stack.
The warm tones of these 3 x 4 inch tags and the papers were perfect. I trimmed the left and right sides of the 3 x 4 inch tags to fit them onto the white card base. The leftover piece of the striped card was then turned sideways and placed under the “Hello Summer” tag to add some interest. I then measured and cut the paper and also used a June Label to fit into the blank spaces. I used die cuts from the June 2021 Kit and also Summer Label Stickers to create small clusters which I placed around the card in a visual triangle.
All that’s left to do is decide who will receive the happy mail, write a nice note inside, and place it in the mail! I hope this encourages you to send some happy, summery mail, too! It will be loved! Thanks for reading!
