Stampin’ Creative – Summer Dreams

July 29, 2021 by Mikaela Titheridge 22 Comments

Today, the Stampin’ Creative Team are bringing you their Summer Dreams.

Stampin' Creative Blog Hop Team, with Artisan Design Team Member 2019, Mikaela Titheridge, UK Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, The Crafty oINK Pen. Supplies available through my online store 24/7

Welcome to this month’s Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop where we’re bringing our summer dreams to life. For me, it had to be Sharing Sunshine and the sight of the sun from behind the clouds.

Stampin' Up! Sharing Sunshine for some summer dreams

At first I looked at this set as a ‘one trick pony’ a set I’d soon become tired of, yet it continues to make me smile. With sunshine appearing with so many other aspects of our life, it teams so well with so many other sets.

In the UK here, we’ve had a strange summer so far with the sun having not paid an appearance too much. I therefore simply wanted to share a card, showing the sunshine coming from behind the clouds.

Handmade card Sharing Sunshine for a Summer Birthday

A Stitched Rectangle is a real staple for your craft room, which is what I used here as my central panel. The white rectangle was then die cut twice with the Basic Borders Dies to form a series of clouds. By repeating this with Vellum, allowed for those whispy clouds that the sun is breaking through. A deep bold Pacific Point sky gives a great backdrop for the vibrant Daffodil Delight of the sun.

Handmade card Sharing Sunshine for a Summer Dreams Birthday

Our Layering Circles Dies gave a beautiful scalloped edge to the sun and my sentiment teamed beautifully. This sentiment came from our Welcoming Window set, which seemed so apt and would again work so well with this set.

Let’s hope that the sun does indeed beam through our welcoming window soon but either way … this set will keep me smiling.

Enjoy the rest of the hop and the summer dreams that the team have to share. Thanks for hopping by today and leaving any messages that you may have left.

I may have been quieter than normal with my crafti I may have been quieter than normal with my crafting but I recently designed a series of cards for Die Cutting Essentials Magazine using the Fern & Flora Bundle by Stampin' Up!

I adore the botanical feel of these dies and what you can create with them. This wreath card screams whispy fresh air combined with richness, I just loved creating it. Would you welcome a botanical card like this for your birthday?
