SUMMER FUN DOODLE POP CARDS | with Kathy

The doodle-pops in the Summer Fun collection are some of the cutest ever!  I thought that they deserved to be the focus of some fun summery cards.  Take a peek...

I love adding layers and dimension to cards, it makes them so much more interesting!  For both my cards I started with a 4.25" x 5.5" base.  I cut an oval in the center and added a layer of the same papers in the center to give it a bit of dimension.

My first card features the cute flora flamingo doodle-pop.  I added him to the center, along with the coordinating flowers.  I also added some of the leaves from the Icons Sticker Sheet and some puffy icon sticker flowers.  The sentiment was cut from the flamazing flock double sided cardstock.  Here's a close up...

My second card features the most adorable sam & sally seahorse doodle pops!  I mean really, could they be any sweeter?  I placed them on a background of the waves side of the water babies double sided cardstock.    I added the fishies from the doodle-pop, and die cut the sand and leaves using the Aloha and Adora-bowl doodle cuts.  I completed it with some summer splash shaped sprinkles, a little starfish from the puffy icon stickers and another sentiment cut from the flamazing flock cardstock.

That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!

SUMMER FUN CASCADING POCKET MINI | with Conny

Hello crafty friends! It’s Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity, and we’re playing with the Summer Fun Collection once again!

Today we’re creating this fun little cascading pocket mini album. It has six pockets that get smaller as you work your way down, creating a fun layered look. You can add photos, journaling, or little memories inside each pocket.

Let's get started!

I started with a piece of cardstock measuring 5” x 8”, scored at ½” on the 8” side and ½” on both sides of the 5” side. This created the base. I added a piece of cardstock measuring 4” x 7½” to the front of the base.

Next I created the cascading pockets, Here are the pieces I cut for to make them:

• 7½” x 4” finished, cut 5” x 8”

• 6½” x 4” finished,  cut 5” x 7”

• 5½” x 4” finished, cut 5” x 6”

• 4½” x 4” finished , cut 5” x 5”

• 4” x 4” finished , cut 5” x 4½”

• 3” x 4” finished, cut 5” x 3½”. 

On each piece I scored ½” from both sides of the 5” width, and scored ½” at the end of the length.

I folded along thescore lines, trimmed away the corners, and adhered the pockets one on top of the other, starting with the largest and working down to the smallest.

For each pocket, I used a circle punch along the front edge to create a little thumb notch. This makes it easier to pull out your photo mats or cards. I decorated the pockets with pieces from the Summer Fun Collection, including the adorable toucan, turtle, seagull, and crab from the Odds & Ends. I also added some of the Puffy Icon Words, including Say Cheese, Hello, and Time to Relax, along with the fun Beach Hair. Don’t Care. phrase.

And that’s it! A simple little cascading pocket album that’s perfect for adding summer photos, journaling, and memories!  Happy crafting!

SUMMER FUN FINTASTIC PAGE | with Traci

Hello crafty girls! Traci here and today, I have a 12x12 scrapbook layout that's "fin-tastic" for some beach, pool, fishing, and warm weather memories. I designed it with the colorful Summer Fun Collection and used one of its cute 🐟 fish patterns as inspiration. Take a look ...

I chose the 12x12 rainbow stripe Beach Towel print as the base and layered lily white cardstock on top. Then, I cut five 2" strips out of the pattern papers titled Gull Friends, Summer Fun, Pink Paradise, Water Babies, and Seashells by the Seashore. I varied their lengths for interest, then punched small fish shapes out using an EK Success Paper Shaper. Next, I added foam squares to the fish and popped them up for dimension.

Above, I added two 3x4 inch photo mats cut from the polka dot Gull Friends paper. To embellish, I added the sun 🌞 die cut from the Odds & Ends and the adorable toucan bird from the Tropical Trio Doodle-pops. I placed him along the top edge as if he was just hangin' out on the photo mat.

At the bottom, I cut the 12x12 Summer School paper into a wave shape and adhered it to the page. Then, I added the Donnie Dolphin Doodle-pops and a few of his enamel water drops. So cute and such a fun name.  

Here, I added the "you're" and "fin-tastic" stickers from the Puffy Words. I love the little bit of shine and dimension they add, along with the Doodle-pops and the popped-up fish. 

I hope this colorful layout inspires you to be creative with the fabulous Summer Fun Collection. Have a wonderful day and happy scrapping everyone! 😊
