Splash of Color Blog: Cards by Alice

Hello, it's Alice back to share more cards with you. Today I would like to show you a really great line called Splish Splash. This is a great line to use for water sports, pool time, beach days or anything summer related. The line also comes with die cut shapes and matching stickers!

Here's a sample of what I made using the Splish Splash Die Cut Shapes.

Don't you just love the die cut shapes? The shapes are a perfect addition to the great paper lines in this collection and will enhance and tell your story when creating your layouts or cards.

Supplies:

Studio Basics 101, Splish Splash

Signature Collection

29022 Gingham 6x6 Paper Pad

Cutables Collection

26508 Ravishign 12x12 Leaf Paper

Next we have another line from Art Warehouse, called Inspired Traveler. Perfect to use for those European vactions and vintage projects that need that old feel. As a card maker I got great usage from being able to create my own emblishments by cutting out the detail images form the paper. Cool, right?

Here's a few exmaples of using the paper to create your own emlishment.

I used a circle punch to cut out some simple shapes form the paper and pop dot it to give it some dimension.

Here's a detail shot of what I did.

Here's another idea using Inspired Traveler and using the paper itself as an emlishment to add to your card.

I cut the arrows out of the design from the paper and added it to my card. I also used die cut shapes from Marah Jonhson's Monarch Collection. Isn't this cool?

Supplies:

Art Warehouse

29013 Inspired Travler SS 6x6 Paper Pad

Marah Johnson, Monarch Collection

28078 Monarch Frames Diecut Shapes

Signature Collection

29020 Dots and Stripes DS 6x6 Paper Pad

For my final card today I used Marah Johnson's Monarch collection and the Dots and Stripes collection. Marah's wooden frames are pefect for framing pictures on layouts and cards. I used the frame as a mat for my back ground on this card. Neat, right?

I layered the different colors of brown from the Dots and Stripes Cool collection to give this card a softer touch. What do you think?

The Monarch collection also has these chipboard sentiments that I just love! Pefect when you need a quick little phrase and works really well when you piece them together in a sentence.
