Check out these cards I made with this yummy bundle of fun!

For my first card, I used a blender pen and a whole array of colors from the Catherine Pooler Design's ink collection.   I don't think I've ever had as much fun coloring as I did with this

 I Scream You Scream stamp set.  I just wanted to play with every image!

Stamps:  I Scream You Scream, Milestone Birthday Sentiment Mix (Catherine Pooler Designs).

Ink:  It's a Girl, Coral Cabana, Fiesta Blue, Melon Ice, Samba, Twilight, Bellini, Sand Castle, Over Coffee, Black Jack, Midnight (Catherine Pooler Designs), clear emboss (Versamark).

Paper:  Sum-Sum Summertime, Premium White Cardstock, Smoke and Mirrors Cardstock, Midnight Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).

Accessories:  I Scream You Scream Coordinating Dies,  Charleston Mix (Catherine Pooler Designs), white embossing powder (WOW!), dimensional tape.

I love to add shadows and texture with blender pens.

Bomb pops!!  Yes!  I have loved those red white and blue treats since I was a little girl.  Melon Ice paper and sequins...cold.....as...ice!!!

I love popsicles but when it comes to ice cream I want it all.  I want the cone, the sprinkles and a big cherry on top!   I made this card using the 3 Scoops Stamp and Die set.

Stamps:  3 Scoops (Catherine Pooler Designs).

Ink:  Mint to Be, It's a Girl, Over Coffee, Samba, Midnight (Catherine Pooler Designs).

Paper:  Sum-Sum Summertime, Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).

I used the new Sprinkles Mini Cover Plate die to cut out some little sprinkles for this cool treat.

Now it's time for some

Fun In The Sun

This bundle is loaded with fun, whimsical sentiments and images that celebrate our love for the sun!

Scatter Sunshine Stamp Set 6 x 8

Hello Mini Cover Plate

Sunshine Word Die

Sunscreen Required Stamp Set

Sunscreen Required Dies

My first card features the awesome Hello Mini Cover Plate die.  This two piece die set is great for layering like I did here.   I thought it would be fun to create a pool scene by lining this card with a rainbow of colorful flip flops from the 

Sunscreen Required stamp set.

Stamps: Sunscreen Required, I Scream You Scream (Catherine Pooler Designs).

Ink:  Coral Cabana, Samba, Tiki Torch, Orange Twist, Tiara, Garden Party, Fiesta Blue, It's a Boy, Sweet Sixteen (Catherine Pooler Designs), clear emboss (Versamark).

Paper:  Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs) 140 lb watercolor cardstock (Canson).

Accessories:  white embossing powder (WOW!).

I like to create thick chipboard pieces for dimension by cutting underlayers from 140 lb watercolor cardstock and gluing them to the back of my diecuts.

While some of us are poolside, the rest of us are heading to the beach!   Either way we all know.....Sunscreen Required!!  

I stamped these adorable little polka dot bikinis using a tone on tone technique.  Stamping the polka dot layer the same color as the bottom layer works great!  Don't forget your shovel and shades!

Stamps:  Sunscreen Required (Catherine Pooler Designs).

Ink:  Coral Cabana, Sweet Sixteen, Garden Party, Black Jack, Fiesta Blue, Sand Castle, Midnight (Catherine Pooler Designs).

Paper:  Sum-Sum Summertime, Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).

Accessories:  Sunscreen Required Coordinating Dies, Sprinkles Mini Cover Plate Die (Catherine Pooler Designs), dimensional tape.

Popping these sweet little images up with foam tape really helps to make them the focal point on this clean and simple card.

Well, I hope you had a great time soaking up some Sunshine with me today.   It's time to dry off, slip on those flip flops and head on over to the next stop on the hop:  Ashlee!
