Enjoy life one wave at a time by Debbie features Newton's Perfect Wave, Wave, and  Circle Frames by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #catcards, #cardmaking, #summercards
 Debbie Owens uses the Waves stencil to create some waves for her surfing kitty from the Newton's Perfect Wave stamp set.  Uses the the Circle Frames die to create a focal point on which she stamps the sentiment.  Her colors of lime green, orange and teal provide a nice summery touch!



Diane Morales creates an underwater scene bursting with color!  She creates her watery world with the Waves & Splashes stencil. She then stamps the bold images from the Tranquil Tides stamp in beautiful colors and cuts them out using the coordinating die set. She stamps the sentiment on a small stitched circle using the Circle Frames die set.  Spectacular!




It's summer by Sue features Newton's Summer Treats, Summer Scoops, and Circle Frames die set Speech Bubbles by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #catcards, #cardmaking, #summercard
Sue T.'s adorable card is filled with summery treats!  She uses  the ice cream cone image from the Summer Scoops stamp set to create her backdrop and die cuts using the Circle Frames die set. She softens the look by adding vellum and frames it all with a pink scallop-edged circle using the aforementioned die set.  Enjoying all that ice cream is her cream and tan kitten from the Newton's Summer Treats stamp and die set. She uses the Speech Bubbles die set to stamp her sentiment. Her color palette of creams, tans, and pinks make for a scrumptious ice cream card!



 



Amy T. sets a beautiful summer scene for her gnome to explore!  She adds birch trees atop her pastel sky using the Forest Scene Builder die set.  She then adds grassy hills using the Land Borders die set.  She pulls the gnome on his mushroom from the Gnome Garden stamp and die cuts him using the coordinating die set.  She also pulls the wheelbarrow brimming with flowers from the same set.  Amy then adds flowers, butterflies, and birds using images from the  Gnome Garden and 
the Woodland Spring stamp and die sets.  What a fabulous way to spend a summer afternoon!



Claire Lamb also takes us under the sea, but this time there's manatees playing beneath the waves!  She creates her watery backdrop and adds sun rays filtering through the water using the Sunscape stencil. She uses the  Land Borders die set to create her sandy bottom.  Her star attractions are the duo of manatees from the Manatee-rific stamp and cut using the coordinating die set.  Don't you love how one of the sweet manatees is holding a heart?  {sigh!}



Use the theme--Summer.
