I started my card by die cutting all of my images with the Summer Holder Addition dies. I die cut the pieces from fun bright summer colors and then used a strong liquid glue to assemble the individual images. Next, I used the Checkered Pierced Plate to create my card panel. I attached my images with foam adhesive, in a grid design to the panel, leaving a spot open for my sentiment.

Lastly, I used the Summer Banner Greetings stamp set and Banner Greetings 3 dies for my sentiment. I attached my sentiment banner with foam adhesive to finish my card. Such a fun card to create and I love that it can be used for lots of different occasions by just changing the sentiment.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope I inspired you to use the Summer Holder Additions dies to create a card of your own.

Enjoy your day, Dana

The process is super simple…the die cut flowers and leaves are added to a simple acetate piece inside to give it extra dimension.

This card was so fun to create and the Hibiscus Flowers were the perfect set to create this with! I hope you enjoyed this creative card idea.

I started off with the new Layered Summer Drinks Stencil and a standard A2 panel of Neenah card stock #80. With the first layer (A)and the panel on a grip mat I ink blended on a gray dye ink. Then with the next layer (B) I used a yellow and reddish pink dye inks to make orange in the middle with a soft blend at an angle. For layer (C) I went with the same colors but one shade darker. If you don’t have a shade darker you can just go in with a heavier hand.

Next, with the largest Rounded Stitched Rectangle Dies I die-cut out the stenciled panel and matted it with a matching card stock. I also die-cut out a piece of vellum with the second largest Rounded Stitched Rectangles die.

With the Summer Cocktail Dies, I die-cut out the drinks from white card stock and blended on with same dye inks that I used for the stencil panel. It definitely looks delicious or a beautiful sunrise! For the rest of the elements I used colored card stock adding on some dimension and white highlights. Adhering the elements together with liquid glue and adding foam squares to the back of the overlapping fruits. 

For the sentiment I used the new Summer Banner Greetings stamp set, stamping out the “Kick Back & Relax” with one of the previously dye inks used.  Die-cutting the sentiment out using the previously released Banner Greetings 1 Die Set. To finish off my sentiment I went through my stash and found the “Cheers” die from an older set called Fruit Mug Additions die-cutting it out several times to add dimension.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a refreshing day!

To make my infinity shaker, I started with the background. I ink-blended a soft hibiscus background using the Layered Hibiscus Stencils. I knew this layer would be good for the background and chose soft colors intentionally.

When done, I turned this into an infinity shaker using some cellophane from stamp/die packaging.  It’s an easy, lightweight option!  Be sure to watch my video to see how it’s done if you are interested!  I filled the shaker with a mixture of the Summer Blooms Clay Mix and Rainbow Sherbet Glass Shaker Beads.

I die-cut flowers and leaves using the Hibiscus Flowers Dies and the Tropical Leaves Dies and ink-blended them to add color.  Using a detailed brush, I added texture to the hibiscus flowers and leaves.

I finished by creating a tropical spray over the shaker panel and added a sentiment from the Summer Banner Greetings stamp set.

I hope you enjoyed this project! Thanks so much for visiting!
