Sweet Celebration Circles

This is a simple card but I love all the circles and colors! The thing that took the longest was coloring in the sentiment with different color markers for each letter. Other than that, this card came together in minutes.

The base is Early Espresso. It’s funny to compare it to Chocolate Chip, because CC always seemed so dark–until we got this new darker brown. Now CC looks more reddish brown to me!

I punched the circles out of Island Oasis DSP, Tempting Turquoise, Rose Red, Old Olive, and Tangerine Tango with various sizes of Circle Punches.

The sentiment is from Sweet Scoops, a really cute ice cream set from the Summer Mini. I colored in most of the sentiment with Chocolate Chip Marker, then each letter in “sweet” with a different color. I stamped it on Whisper White, layered on a strip of Daffodil Delight. Then, I adhered it to the base with Stampin Dimensionals.

Around the edges of the card front, I used my White Gel Pen to make dots and lines. Against the dark brown background, the white really pops and frames the card nicely.

This card just makes me smile 🙂

Luau Party Invitation {Island Oasis}

This is a possible contender for my daughter’s birthday invitations. The theme is going to be a Luau, and I already found cute child size grass skirts and some other decorations for the party. When I saw this Island Oasis DSP in the Summer Mini, I decided that would be the theme!

The invitation is A2 size, base is Crumb Cake (Kraft). I used the Island Oasis DSP in the green leaf pattern and rose red flower pattern to layer with Whisper White. I stamped the invitation stamp from Introducing in Early Espresso ink and wrote the details with Stampin Write Markers in Rose Red, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Tempting Turquoise, and Summer Sun. I used the Paper Piercer around the top layer and adhered it to the base with Stampin Dimensionals.

At the bottom, I took a strip of Early Espresso card stock and stamped “You’re Invited” in Versamark, and heat embossed it with White Embossing Powder. Then, I used the Paper Piercer again along the bottom edge.

The flower is from Fresh Cut Notes. I layered a piece of striped Island Oasis DSP behind it, then trimmed the flower with scissors. In the center, I added a 1/4″ Chocolate Chip Epoxy Brad and adhered it to the base with Stampin Dimensionals.

At the top, I added a short piece of Chocolate Chip 5/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon, folded in half, attaching it with a staple.
