Adventure Awaits...

 Do you have time to squeeze in one more adventure this summer? If not you maybe a friend? I think this would be a fun card to give a future traveler to wish them a wonderful end of summer adventure!

This card was so fun to create and had me dreaming of one more summer adventure!! I started with adding the Land & Sea Washi tape on the bottom and top of my white card stock. I created vintage style motel keys with various fun vacation wishes. I added the adorable suitcase brad, airplane brad, and cruise ship brad to each motel key. After stamping a red bunting across the top, I added each motel key with a pearl brad and foam tape! I finished off my creation with distressing around the edge with blue ink and layering my creation on to black stock.

Have a juicy fun day!

 Summertime brings to mind lemonade and citrusy drinks!

This citrus card could be for encouragement or birthday! It is very versatile! I loved adding the new lemon and fruit brads! One of my favorite ways to use the paper flowers is to layer them! For this card, I layered white and yellow paper flowers with a yellow brad from the summer mix! I hope you enjoy!

Summertime and the livin' is easy...

I love the slower pace of summer!

 These sweet kiddos are loving a slower, summer pace too, I think! To add the green grass washi, I used a craft knife to cut their feet and the bottom of the hug box and then slid the grass washi under! I added turquoise jewels for music notes and a 2 sweet butterfly brads. Lastly, I added 3 red brads to the bottom corner. I hope you enjoy!

Summer Fun!

Do you have your summer vacation plans ready? I love having more family time during the summer and always look forward to spending time together making memories and enjoying rest and relaxation.

I enjoyed creating this "summer vibe" card using things that remind me of summer! I love the boombox washi tape as it reminds me of days at the beach with our boombox playing our favorite summer tunes! I added the adorable sunglasses brads because that is a summer staple! Lastly, I had to add the flamboyant, pink flamingo brad for extra fun flair! Flamingos are too adorable!  

Do you ever decorate your mailing envelope? It is fun and easy to do with washi tape and it makes your delivery extra special!! Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to shop at Eyelet Outlet for your crafting needs!

Dropping Anchor

Hello friends!  It seems that there's lots of ice and snow practically everywhere, but that doesn't stop me from longing for the sights and sounds of the ocean.  It has been a stressful week, and just the thought of sand between my toes is enough to calm the spirit and settle the "monkey mind!"  That sense of peace provides an anchor through the storm.

These supplies were strewn across my desk for another project (more on that another day!) but my heart had a detour in mind and I had to make this card first!  I am hoping that you got the feeling of the boardwalk and the fourth of July when you first saw it. 

  

The inside is reminiscent of the shorebirds patiently wading through the tide pool.  Kinda makes me  wanna go shell seeking or searching for sea glass!  Well...maybe when it's warmer!  ;)  

Here are the Eyelet Outlet supplies I used for this project:

• anchor brads
• seagull brads

If I had had it, I would have added some seahorse washi tape because the colors look like they'd work perfectly with this designer paper!  There are quite a few options for a beach themed, summer vacation card if you are longing for summer or if you're lucky enough to go for a winter getaway!  

Morning Swim

Hello everyone.  It's Kim from Katydid Cards with you today.

It's beach season here at the Jersey shore.  Lots of people basking in the sun, though only the braver souls are in the water this early...I am not one of them.    

I'm sharing a card chock full of Eyelet Outlet fun beach themed brad sets; Sea Shore Brads and Seagull Brads and Sun & Cloud Brads and the Flip Flop Brads on the front:

and from the Spring release, the Sandcastle Brads on the back with a few repeats from the front.

I knew I wanted to make a card with a beach scene, so I let the brads determine what sort of image I used.  I thought the open and airy look of a shadowbox card would be the perfect backdrop.  The image is from Nana Vic's collection.  Of course, I couldn't leave well enough alone and resized it, reversed it, removed some items and separated the rope frame to place it on the front...gotta love that Silhouette.

I used both types of shells on the front after embossing the Soft Sky card stock with the Cloudy Day embossing folder and placing the rope frame around the opening.

The image was colored using Copic markers with a bit of Marvy Snow Marker for the white caps.  I used both types of seagulls on the inside.  The sun is an unexpected surprise you see when you peek inside.  And the flip flops finish it off perfectly.  Here's a closer look:

I didn't intend this card for any specific event; just a friendship card for someone who loves the beach...who doesn't?  These beach words are a Miss Kate Cuttables file, converted to print only.  I arranged them so I could place more brads on the back.

I think the seagulls like this card.  I hope you do, too!
