SUper Friends July Swap -- Simply Summer Cards

Hello!  Happy August!  Last month, my SUper Friends demonstrator group did another swap, and this time, our theme was simply summer cards!  We left it open to each swapper to figure out what "simply summer" meant, and I think you'll agree that everyone did an amazing job!!!    

Judy-Ann's gorgeous card has an awesome large greeting from the Good Feelings stamp set, which she combined with the Artistic dies and Bold Butterflies dies:

Here's a little behind the scenes sneak peek of the card (Judy created the dreamy look on her card using a layer of vellum over the flower die cuts and Lemon Lolly card stock background):

Connie M.'s beautiful creation (inspired by a card by Ellen Woodbridge) features the Fresh as a Daisy Suite collection and a sweet background with the polka dot folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders:

Connie M. finished off her card with some beautiful stamping on the inside, too:

For her fabulous card, Jaya stamped the Watercolor World background stamp,  using a wonderful array of colors and then added "travel" with the Alphabest Stamp Set and coordinating Best Label Punch:

Margery created her stunning beachy-themed fancy fold with the Seaside Bay stamp set and coordinating dies:

The slider piece is made with the Countryside Corners dies:

And, here's a better look at the pretty pearl inside the shell:

For her perfectly bright and happy card (inspired by a card by Hilda Burton), Connie S. used the Circle Sayings Bundle, along with the Rays of Light background stamp, and some birds from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set:

Connie S. also stamped the inside of her card with images from stamps in the July 2023 Paper Pumpkin kit:

For my card, I decided to combine the Sea Turtle Photopolymer Stamp set with the Beauty of the Deep Bundle and Waves of Inspiration stamp set.  I also used the Deckled Rectangles dies to create a frame and embossed that with the Splatters Embossing Folder:

I also added a turtle on the inside of my card:

Hope you enjoyed this summery inspiration!

Thanks so much to the SUper Friends for another amazing swap! 

And, thank you so much for visiting my blog!
