Summer Pals - June Class

06/23/2023

Here are the cards from my Summer Pals class. Most of the cards feature designer series paper—we are having a special this month for 15% off selected DSP. All of the cards use one of my favorite new embellishments—2022-2024 In Color Pearls (self adhesive). The colors are iridescent and take on hues of the colors it is used with so they complement many combinations. Recipes are included with each project and the supply details are listed at the end of this post. Thanks for stopping by!

Card 1: Best Pals

This card features the By My Side stamp set, new Bright & Beautiful DSP, and several of the new colors (Lemon Lime Twist, Blueberry Bushel, and Berry Burst). Choose your favorite pal and color using blends in coordinating colors.

Tips:

Stamp the images before die cutting the circle so that you can control placement because this is not a photopolymer set.
Use a mini glue dot to adhere the flower. An added bonus is that the adhesive will also show through the center of the flower and allow extra stickiness for your pearl.

Here is the recipe:

Stamp Sets: By My Side, Circle Sayings (sentiment)
Dies: Zany Zoo (for small flower); Stylish Shapes (for 2 ½” circle)
Bright & Beautiful DSP 2 x 5 1/4”
Lemon Lime Twist cardstock 8 ½ x 5 ½”
Blueberry Bushel cardstock 2 ¾ x 2 ¾”
Basic White cardstock for 2 ½” die cut circle, piece to stamp and cut out dog
Berry Burst for small die cut flower
Ink Pad: Memento Tuxedo Black
Stampin’ Blends: Petal Pink, Bronze, Bubble Bath, Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lime Twist, Crumb Cake
2022-2024 In Color Pearls

Card 2: Little Bird

I just love this cute little bird with glasses. There are other birds in the set with other glasses, even spectacles! This is a panel card where the panels overlap in the front by 1”. The layered circles are attached to the left flap and the right flap is tucked under the layered circles to hold the card closed (see top view).

Tips:

For card base, fold panels on score marks. In my card, I have the 2 ¾” panel on the left and the 3 ¼” panel on the right.
Attach the Berry Burst piece to the left panel and the DSP to the right panel.
Fold the card so that the right panel overlaps the left panel.
Place dimensionals on left half of the layered circles with your stamped image. Then attach it to the left panel while the card is folded closed. Make sure that your dimensionals only attach to the left panel.
You can open your card, then close it by tucking it under the circle.
Use a mini glue dot to adhere the flower. An added bonus is that the adhesive will also show through the center of the flower and allow extra stickiness for your pearl.

Here is the recipe:

Stamp Sets: Bird's Eye View, Just My Type (for sentiment)
Dies: Zany Zoo (for small flower); Stylish Shapes (for 2 ½” circle)
Bright & Beautiful DSP 3 x 4”
Fresh Freesia cardstock 4 ¼ x 11”, scored at 2 ¾” and 7 ¾”
Berry Burst cardstock 4 x 2 ½” and for small die cut flower
Lemon Lime Twist cardstock for 2 ½” die cut circle
Basic White 2 3/8” punched circle
2 3/8” Circle Punch
Ink Pad: Memento Tuxedo Black
Stampin’ Blends: Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lime Twist
Stampin’ Write Marker: Early Espresso
2022-2024 In Color Pearls

Card 3: Playing in the Rain

This card features the rabbit from the Playing in the Rain stamp set. I also have one with the turtle from the same set. They were cut out using the coordinating dies and feature the Glorious Gingham DSP.

Here is the recipe:

Berry Burst for small die cut flower
Ink Pad: Memento Tuxedo Black
Stampin’ Blends: Petal Pink, Crumb Cake, Berry Burst, Granny Apple Green, Lost Lagoon, Pool Party
2022-2024 In Color Pearls

Card 4: My Type

This retro typewriter brings back memories of typing class with all of its unique sounds—like the clackety clack of the keys and the ding of the bell when you get to the end of the row. I like the typewriter font and nostalgic feeling of this set. This is a panel card, scored at 2 1/8” from each side. The image is attached to the left panel using dimensionals. An eraser top stamped in Lost Lagoon ink was used to create the polka dots on the left panel.

Here is the recipe:
