Welcome to Day 3 of the June Countdown. Today we’ll kick it off with our new Baby Elephant Stamp Set and die. The most adorable little elephant you have ever seen! You will love the size of the elephant because it’s big so you can enjoy adding the color and details just how you like them.
We have two featured designers today, Seeka and Steph. So let’s start with Seeka’s sweet card. First of all, I really like the colors she used, that blue is so bright and cheery, it just makes this card perfect for baby.
Her next layer showcases our new Baby Clouds Stencil which is so completely adorable. If you’re making cards for the kiddos or welcome baby cards, you will want to have that stencil on hand! And of course, her baby elephant is just the cutest! I like this because you can see that she didn’t have to do a lot of fancy footwork to make this baby elephant cute!

Let’s take a look at Steph’s adorable card. LOVE this little girl! One of my favorite details included with Baby Elephant are the polka dot ears. Just so cute! And that bow, I love it!
Did you happen to spy the Fantastic Front: Scalloped Frame in the background? It’s such a charming layer whether you use it as a base layer or as a frame layer making it very versatile. I also love that it comes with the “Congrats” that Steph used on this card.

TIPS:
- For added texture, try dry embossing your stencil first before ink blending.
Next up is our Soak Up the Fun stamps and dies. How fun is this set? I love everything about being able to create pool party invitations. My brother has a pool party every year and we plan on using this set to create the invitations, I can’t wait to make them!
Kelly is our featured designer for Soak Up the Fun and she has created 3 amazing cards to showcase how fantastic this set is. This first card is perfect for a pool party invitation, don’t you think? There’s the flamingo float, a fruity cocktail, sunscreen, goggles, water splashes, palm trees, and a beach ball! Nothing says party more than that! It’s so cute, I will be using this card as inspiration for my invitations.
Hope Your Day is a Splash Card

Here’s Kelly’s next featured card. I love how she used the Fantastic Front: Scalloped Frame to pull this scene together. It really makes you feel like you’re at the beach, doesn’t it?
And how fun is it that she made this into a shaker card? That is an amazing detail that gives this project some major pizzazz!

And last, but certainly not least, is Kelly’s last project that uses our Through the Palms Hot Foil Plate! Everything about this card screams, let’s go to the beach! The details on this card are so subtle but add a lot of depth. For example, did you notice how the top of the card is a very deep shade of pink, but as she works her way to the bottom of the card, she uses a lighter pink, making it feel more like sand or that there is a “floor” to her card? I really appreciate those kinds of details because I learn so much from them!

TIPS:
- Use pattern paper on the inside of the shaker portion for added interest.
- Use different sized sequins inside of the shaker
- Keep the stamped images lower down on the frame so that you can see the sequins as they shake
TIPS:
- Create a gradient background using different ink colors and a blender brush to mimic a sunset.
