Enjoy a Slice of Summer....

Hello KaDoodle Bugs and Happy Monday!! Today I am stopping in to share a quick card that I created using the "Slice of Summer Title".

I started off by uploading the file to my Cricut Design Space, re-sized my image and cut out the pieces using Bazzill Cardstock.  I then inked each piece using Tim Holtz Distress Inks and adhered them together using Art Glitter Glue. I added some accents to the piece using a white gel pen, Stickles and Glossy Accents.  My card base was created using 110lb. Kraft Cardstock and the white card mat is 110lb. ReCollections White Cardstock. I adhered my paper piecing onto my card base and finished it off by adding some sequins.

Below is a complete list of the products and supplies used to create this card:

Aloha My Friend...

Good evening KaDoodle Bugs!!! DT member Jana stopping in this evening to share a sweet summer card I created using the "Aloha Pineapple" file.

I have been wanting to play with this file for a while now and finally got some free time to do so. I am so very excited to now begin all of my summer themed projects.

For this card, I started off with uploading the svg file to my Cricut Designs Space, re-sized my image and cut out all of my pieces. I then inked each piece using Tim Holtz Distress Inks. I used Art Glitter Glue to adhere them together and then added some highlights using a white gel pen. To finish off my happy little pineapple, I added some stickles (cause who doesn't like a bit of glitter here and there?!?!), to areas of the leaves, the center of the flower and on some of the skirt leaves. I also added glossy accents to the sunglasses (although it is difficult to capture in this pic, sorry!!)

As I set the pineapple off to the side to dry for a bit, I began to work on my card base. I cut the base of my card to measure 4.25 x 5.5 out of 110lb. Neenah Solar White Cardstock. I then used a piece of Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Cardstock and ink-blended my Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks using my blending tool. These inks are absolutely amazing and beautiful to work with. Once the panel was dry, I ran it through my Big Shot using my Fancy Frames die from Craftin Desert Divas.  I set my panel in my Misti and using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, inked up my stamp sentiment "Aloha my friend" from the Jaded Blossom "Be a Pineapple Stamp Set". I adhered the panel onto my card base, adhered my pineapple paper piecing and to finish it off, added three small drops of Nuvo Crystal Drops.  

I absolutely love how this card turned out and can't wait to send it off to a special friend.
