Blogging is slow these days, as I am spending the summer with my family at our beach house. But I had to share a quick post before I head back to the sea, since the temperature here today is 37 °C (that’s 99 °F for my American friends)! YIKES!

Another SimonSaysStamp release is out with awesome ink pad colors, stamps and dies!

And since summer is my favorite season, I had to create yet another summer card using this adorable stamp set!

The idea is very simple, I just colored the little girl and used the dies to create waves. Then you just assemble everything as if the girl is swimming.

  7. Hi Vicky,

    Love this card.
    What company brand do you use on your white card stock?
    Hot in South Carolina. 98 degrees today.. Hope you are having a Happy Summer.
    LOVE your work and thank you for sharing with ALL of us.

  8. Such a sweet card, Vicky. Wish I had more time to relax near the sea. Instead, I’m stuck in my home office, working. I wouldn’t be able to do it without my mobile A/C unit, though. The temperature in our living room is 30 °C right now. Looks like this hot weather will continue for a few more days.

  9. Vicky your card is so sweet. My 3 yr. old grandson just watched this with me and it inspired him to finish his picture he started this morning! LOL TFS!

  10. Love your card and video. I’ve added the border waves to my wish list.
    It’s hot (and dry) here in Calif., too (100 degrees).

  11. Vicky,
    The card is most adorable and just makes me smile. The little duck head you added to the floatie reminds me of one that my son had when he was a little guy playing in the pool – he loved that floatie. Thanks for bringing back such a sweet memory.

  12. Hi Vicky–I’m so happy you were able to take time on your vacation to make a card video. This card is just precious and it was fun to watch the techniques you used. Enjoy the rest of your time away!

  13. Such a cute card! I love that you used vellum between the waves — clearly you are acquainted with the sea. 🙂 I also love that you put Glossy Accents on the goggles for a realistic feature. Great job.
