RainyDay Stamper: June 2021

Splish Splash, it's all about water

Welcome to June's Blog hop, this month it's all about water. With summer just around the corner, water and beaches are high on lots of our minds. Now I live in the resort community of Christina Lake, BC which besides being one absolutely gorgeous area in the Kootenays surrounded by mountains, we also have the warmest tree lined lake in Canada so our population swells in the summer. The beach for me is a quick 5 minute walk. I don't have any "water-lake" themed stamps but I do have Shark Frenzy and since Sharks live in water that is my stamp set I am using today to make a whimsical card.

I have used Balmy Blue, Pacific Point for my blues and added a little pop of colour with Granny Apple Green seaweed and Crushed Curry fish.

One of the best things about this card is all the bits are cut with the coordinating dies including the waves. Our Gray Granite shark is dressed to impress with a hat and tie. Well on to our next stop, let's check out what Mo has done for us,

It's the June Step it up Hop

Welcome to our June Hop where we are Steppin' It Up. We start with a basic quick card and add a little for our next card and then a bit more

for our last card.

I have used the Hey Girlfriend stamp set that was inspired by April Lopez for her Million Sales set and it is retiring at the end of June insert sad face here)

My first card is a basic quick and easy card but since I am colouring with our fabulous Stampin' Blends and they bleed through the card stock, I stamped and coloured my girl on a 4 x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White and attached it to a standard Thick Whisper White card base. The sentiment is from You are Amazing, love the bold fonts.

My second card adds just two items, a Polished Pink mat and I outlined our girlfriend image with my light Pool Party Blend so that she pops off the background.

For my last card I used the same Polished Pink mat but ran it through my Stampin'Cut & Emboss Machine with the Painted Texture folder to add texture to the mat and then attached it to the card skewed and down my image panel so more of the mat is exposed. My girl I stamped, coloured changing up the shirt to just have dots of Polished Pink and then fussy cut her and popped up on dimensionals and finished with a couple of Artistry Blooms Adhesive backed sequins.
