I started off with the Layered Tropical Leaves Stencil and a standard A2 panel of Neenah card stock on a grip mat. With both layers I inked them with teal dye inks in two shades. After I was done with the two stencils I went back over the panel with residual ink on my brush. Then with the darkest teal ink I went over the edges of the panel. 

Next, I die-cut out the Candy Bucket and the Summer Bucket Addition Flamingo. Adding dimension on the edges with a dye ink. Then I die-cut out two of the small Hibiscus Flowers from pink card stock. And went back and die-cut out the medium size from the orange card stock. 

Once I started to lay out my design I needed some smaller flowers to fill in between the Hibiscus Flowers, with the Summer Holder Additions Dies there is a small flower die that I die-cut out from white card stock. 

I love floral baskets with spike plants making it more funky!  So with the Tropical Leaves Dies, I die-cut out some of the leaves from a green teal card stock and tucked them in behind the flowers.

Then I stamped out the “Summer Greetings” from the Summer Banner Greetings stamp set with the teal dye ink. Then, I die-cut it out with the Banner Greetings 3 Dies.

I hope you like my floral bucket using the Flamingo from the Summer Bucket Additions!

Card Details

To create the background, I used the Watercolor Strips Stencil with bright blue ink blending to give the card a fun beachy feel. I then added texture with the Sunburst Pierced Plate before creating the adorable shaker sun using the new Sun Shaker Dies.

The sunglasses from the Summer Holder Additions Dies add extra personality, while the colorful Beach Party Shaker Beads bring plenty of movement and sparkle. I finished the card with the “You’re My Sunshine” sentiment from the Happy Summer Stamp Set, creating a card that’s perfect for sending sunny wishes all season long.

To begin, I created a soft honeycomb background by ink blending Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink through the Honeycomb Stencil onto a panel of A2 white cardstock.

Next, I die cut a pierced front panel from white cardstock with the Checkered Pierced Plate. Using the largest die from the Eyelet Hexagons, I created a hexagon window by trimming away the center with a craft knife. I then adhered the eyelet frame around the window opening, securing it with light adhesive along the edges.

For the focal image, I die cut the adorable bear from the Bear Holder Dies, along with the coordinating eyes, nose, ears, and snout from white cardstock. The bear and snout were ink blended with Gathered Twigs and Antique Linen Distress Oxide Inks, while Black Soot was used for the eyes, nose, and ears. I added soft rosy cheeks using Kitsch Flamingo.

I stamped and die cut the remaining images with the coordinating dies and colored them with Copic Markers listed below. I adhered the bear to the honeycomb background and layered the hexagon window on top. I arranged the bees around the frame and tucked the honeypot and honey dipper into the bears arms.

Copic Markers:

• Honey Pot- BG11, BG10, BG000, C1, C0
• Honey- YR23, Y13, Y11
• Honey Dipper- E33, E31, E30
• Bee- Y15, Y13, Y00, R20, C5, C3, C1, C0, BG01, BG000

To complete the card, I added the sentiment with “You’re A Sweet” white heat embossed on black cardstock, paired with a stamped “Friend” from the Hello Friend set, and finished with a black enamel dot on the bottom.

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope this card inspires you to create something sweet! Happy crafting!

I began with the Star Cover Plate Die and layered it over a block of white cardstock using dimensional adhesive.  Before layering the two together though, I added color to the base layer that you could see peeking out from each star.  I focused on my favorite pastels in pinks, yellows, aquas, and a bit of green.

Next, I die cut a vellum layer from the Eyelet Diamonds Dies.  I added it to the center of my card, just above the scrunched seam binding bow that I wrapped around the lower portion of my card.

My sentiment was die cut using the Happy Birthday Shadow Dies and I added them to the center of my card to shine in the spotlight!  

I couldn’t wait to bring in a bit of florals and chose to use the Spring Foliage Dies. I love their sweet, pierced details and the variety of shapes and sizes they come in. After I nestled them in a few of the star-shaped openings, I added one last detail in the form of a secondary sentiment.  I used the Party Time stamp set and added my chosen sentiment to a die cut Banner Greetings 3 die. I tucked it under a few flower petals on a fun diagonal.

Happy Summer crafting!
