July is here . And that means a fun, summer theme from me and Celeste !! We are having crazy hot weather here in Virginia Beach . I keep waiting for it to cool down a bit for even a day, but that hasn't happened yet. So sit back, relax with a nice iced coffee and enjoy our cards for this month .
I am in love with stickers of all kinds and especially love the chipboard variety . I know that I have had these from Crate Paper 's "The Pier" collection for years !!! So now seemed like the perfect time to use them.
- I adhered a piece of paper from the "Domestic Goddess" collection by Stampin' Up to a 5x7 pale turquoise card base. The design reminded me of a picnic tablecloth we had when I was a child.
- Chipboard stickers from Crate Paper's "The Pier" collection were placed on the patterned paper . The Summer Days heading was perfect!!
This was such a fun, quick and easy card to make . Totally different from my original idea but I was really pleased with the outcome. I can't wait to see what Celeste's idea was for our Summer theme !! You can see her card over at her blog - Crafting Junky . While I was making my card, I was drinking some Vanilla Caramel Iced coffee in my new SWIG Sunset Travel Mug . I am not affiliated with the company at all - just love that I can keep my coffee or water either cold or hot on my desk for hours !! And they also have such pretty straws !! It's my go-to cup at work now ( until I retire at the end of September ).
Thanks so much for dropping by to see our summery creations. I hope you are having a nice weekend doing something that you love - read a book, take a walk, call a friend. Be kind to yourself and others. We will see you next month .. Until then, Stay Creative .
