Summery Shaped Cards with Laurie Schmidlin

Hi!  It’s Summer (even in Montana :-) and I am loving the warm, sunny days!  When I saw this month’s Glitz Blog Challenge (see image below) was all about Summer, I couldn’t wait to start creating!

My two cards embody two things that I automatically envision when I think of Summer – watermelon and ice cream!

Nothing says summer like a big slice of ripe watermelon!  Mmmm!  I created this shaped card with my electronic cutting machine and several different Glitz patterned papers.  Before I glued it all together, I added some chunky glitter around the pink layer.  To finish the card off, I added an Epoxy Sticker, lace, ribbon, and a Giant Rhinestone!

For my second card, I started with an ice cream cone shaped card (also made with my electronic cutting machine) and papers from the Afternoon Muse collection.  I layered on a Cardstock Sticker, a Whatnot, an Epoxy Word, a cut out stamped image (the banner tails), a flower, and lots of buttons and sparkle!

Here’s all the info on this month’s challenge!  I hope you give it a try!  :-)
