more color mondays – lemon lolly, bubble bath and pool party

Today’s More Color Mondays is a soft and subtle Springtime palette of Lemon Lolly, Bubble Bath and Pool Party. It seems like there is a rash of babies being born in our family and friends circle so I am super glad that I invested in this stamp bundle! The Little Dreamers bundle is so sweet and this card will go to very good use!

Measurements:
BASE: Pool Party 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″ and partial die cut
DSP: 3″ x 4″
Basic White scrap for die cut and sentiment piece

I took the largest rectangular Deckle Rectangle die and place the edge of the cardstock through and under the long end and ran just that edge through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to partial die cut just the edge of the card and I took about an 1 14″ off.
I die cut a scrap of cardstock from the Basic Borders die set and using a Blending Brush I inked it into the Pool Party ink pad and created a cloud background for the upper card front.
Adhere the 3″ x 4″ piec of Delightfully Eclectic DSP to the inside bottom of the card so that it is peeking out of the closed card!
I stamped in Bubble Bath ink a scrap of Basic White cardstock with the sentiment from Little dreamers stamp set and colored the edges with a Small Blending Brush and Bubble Bath ink.
I adhered it near the top of the DSP so that it is a surprise when you open the card!
I die cut a Everyday Details circle die from some scrap paper and then used the deckled dies to make the edges deckled. I adhered it to the center of the top flap of the card front.
I stamped the Lion with the Star balloon from the Little dreamers stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Lemon Lolly and Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blends markers.
I die cut the lion and the stars out and popped them up on Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I adhered the lion to the center of the circle die cut.
I adhered the star die cuts around the lion.
I used the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots in coordinating Pool Party to finish the card! Too Cute!
Now it is your turn go out and make a card for someone special – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
