Hello Crafty Friends! It is Hanh here with you today and I am thrilled to show you a little sneak peek of the upcoming June Release. This awesome release is packed with everything happy and fun about summer. I had so much fun with this release and have three cards to share with you today showcasing the soon-to-be-released Fun in the Sun Shadow Dies, Sun Shaker Dies, Summer Bucket Additions Dies and the Sunburst Pierced Plate. So let’s get started.

Fun in the Sun! My first card features the Sun Shaker Dies, Fun in the Sun Shadow Dies and the Sunburst Pierced Plate with the help of the Summer Bucket Additions Dies and Summer Holder Additions Dies.

I started with Sunburst Pierced Plate to create a subtle texture on my white cardstock background. I trimmed the edge off and matted the panel with a piece of teal cardstock.

Next, I diecut with the Sun Shaker Dies for the adorable sun, the Summer Holder Additions Dies for the little sunglasses, the Summer Bucket Additions Dies for the popsicles and colored cardstock. I assembled the pieces and highlighted with a white gel pen. The sun and popsicles were adhered to the panel. Some were popped up with foam tape for a bit of interest.

I used the Fun in the Sun Shadow Dies to diecut the sentiment out of teal and white carsdstock. I love this fun combo of the two fonts. This beautiful die can easily hold its own and be the center of attention on an A2 card. I adhered to sentiment and shadow to each other with liquid glue and then to the card front with foam tape. I finished the card with a few Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix.

Hello Summer! My second card features the Summer Bucket Additions Dies and the Sunburst Pierced Plate with the help of the Summer Cocktails Dies, Summer Holder Additions Dies, the Happy Summer Stamp & Dies and the previously released Candy Bucket Dies. Isn’t that flamingo just the cutest? And don’t these yummy fruit popsicles just scream summer?!

Once again, I created a subtle background with the Sunburst Pierced Plate. I am a huge fan of clean and simple card designs and white space. I love how this plate adds just a little subtle interest while preserving that pure white space for me. This time I matted the panel with a piece of pink cardstock.

I used the Summer Bucket Additions Dies, Summer Holder Additions Dies and the previously released Candy Bucket Dies to diecut the flamingo, popsicle sticks, sunglasses and bucket out of colored cardstock. The Summer Bucket Additions Dies and Summer Cocktails Dies were used to diecut the popsicles and fruits out of Neenah Solar White cardstock. I did some simple coloring of the popsicles and fruits with Copic markers and added seeds with a black Pigma Micron pen. I assembled the diecuts and highlighted with a white gel pen. The popsicles and bucket were adhered to the card front with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape,

COPIC COLORS (popsicles):
Kiwi: YG00/01, YG01/03 (fruits)
Watermelon: R22/24, YG25
Strawberry: R20, R22/24,YG25 (fruits)

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Hello” and “Summer” sentiments from the Happy Summer stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and white heat embossed before using the coordinating Happy Summer coordinating dies and Sentiment Strips Dies to diecut them out. I adhered the sentiment to the card front with foam tape and finished the card with some Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix.

Summer Greetings! My third card features more of the many fun elements of the Summer Bucket Additions Dies along with the Sunburst Pierced Plate, the Summer Banner Greetings and the previously released Candy Bucket Dies and Banner Greetings 2 Dies. There are so many different ways to use and decorate with the Summer Bucket Additions Dies. The possibilities are endless!

Once again, I created a subtle background with the Sunburst Pierced Plate. I trimmed down the panel and matted with a piece of teal cardstock.

I used the Summer Bucket Additions Dies and the Candy Buckets Dies to diecut all of the elements out of colored cardstock. I assembled the elements and highlighted with a white gel pen. I adhered them to the card front with liquid glue and foam tape.

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Summer Greetings” sentiment from the Summer Banner Greetings stamp set onto a piece of white cardstock. I used the Banner Greetings 2 Dies to diecut it out. I used the same die to diecut another banner out of teal cardstock. The banners were adhered to each other with glue and then to the card front with foam tape. I finished the card with some Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix.
