Summer Projects with Summer Vibes
Hi everyone!
Teri here, and I'm excited to share some fun Summer-inspired projects created with Simple Stories'Summer Vibes collection. Is it just me? Does it seems like Summer just started, and yet school is right around the corner? Sigh. I know, right?! In my efforts to squeeze in as much Summer fun as possible this year, I decided to create some cards and a tag with a Summer twist! And the Summer Vibes collection was the perfect choice for that.

One of the things I love to do is treat my friends with little treats just so they know I appreciate them. So I created this little tag with a fun little beach scene to hang onto a bottle of soda.

The base of the tag is a chipboard frame attached to a SN@P! card. I poked a hole in the top so I could bring a little twine through it and hang it on the bottle of soda.

I'm a fan of making cards so, of course, I made some Summer-inspired cards too!
This one was just a fun and quick card to put together.

I just love that "Oh Happy Day" sentiment on the SN@P! card I used. To make it stand out, I added a torn piece of paper tape to the top of it. and then I embellished it with a couple enamel dots.

I anchored the radio and tanning lotion bottle to the bottom of the card. I used my scissors to slice off the bottom of each.
This was another quick card to put together.

There's just something about buses. They scream Summer and the beach! You agree?

The "hello there" banner was part of a larger die-cut banner. I again whipped out my trusty scissors and snipped off just the part I wanted for my card.
Speaking of the beach, this card really reminds me of the beach with a surfboard, flipflops and sunglasses!

I layered all of those chipboard pieces together. While they are self adhesive, I wanted one of the shoes and sunglasses to really pop off the card so I adhered them onto my card with foam tape. Foam tape really helps just give embellishments a little extra pop. LOVE that.

The final card I made is this Hello Sunshine card.

I did a little bit of layering here, adhering the frame to patterned paper and then placing it slightly under the "Hello" sentiment. And then I added some embellishments to the mix. I wanted the card to be fun so I purposely used a mixture of embellishments on it.

I think it turned out pretty cute!
