OSAT: Dog Days of Summer

Welcome to The Creativity Cave and the OSAT blog hop!  I am so excited to have you stop by The Creativity Cave and whether you are joining us from my good friend, Justin's Blog or this is your first stop, thanks for being here!  Our theme this month is Dog Days of Summer and I have a couple of fun projects to share with you!

I am just loving the Ombre Pads and the Summer Sorbet Stamp Set!  I couldn't put it away after I made a fun card a few weeks ago! So I started with a very simple card here–perfect for a fun birthday card for a kid or an adult! And can I just say that the spell check on my blog wants me to change Ombre to Hombre!!  Hee Hee! 🙂 It gives me flashbacks to when Joey was a cologne spray guy as a job at a Department store on Friends! 😉 "Hombre for Men?"

Gather your supplies:

• 1/2 Sheet of Bermuda Bay Cardstock
• 4 x 5 1/4" Basic Black Cardstock
• 3 7/8 x 5 1/8" Whisper White Cardstock
• Summer Sorbet Stamp Set
• Rich Razzleberry, Calypso Coral, and Bermuda Bay Ombre Pads, Black Archival
• Wink of Stella

For the next card, I love the fun look on the outside and the inside is even better!!! I started with embossing the top layer with the Seaside Folder, then I randomly added some wink of stella between the lines of the folder (on the background:)

I then stamped the "summer" with the Layered Letters Alphabet and those darn Ombre (I mean Hombre) pads! The look is just so fun!  I added the word "fun" with the Classic Label Punch and the thoughtful Banners stamp set. 

For the inside, I had to take things up a notch–I stamped and cut out (or not) the snow cones (oh how yummy would that be right about now???).  I then added the greeting and "sweet" diecut in Silver Glimmer Paper from the Sweet Cupcake Bundle. The tops of the snowcones have Wink of Stella on them like my first card.

So much fun!
