Hi friends! It's time for another Not 2 Shabby Monthly Giveaway Hop over on YouTube! This month we're sharing sweet watermelon and beachy vibe themed projects with this month's subscription products. I have a video card share of today's cards featuring the Paper Pad club and Stamp of the Month. So if you want to see things up close and personal, head on over to my YouTube channel, or watch on the blog below.
This layout was adapted from an exclusive Sheetload of Cards sketch from Crafty Al's workshop during our Not 2 Shabby Cottage Rose Retreat. You can still watch the workshop here. I adapted the card to an A2 size from mini slimline, adding thin mats to each of my stripes of paper. The background comes from the Colorful Linens paper pad. I embossed the sentiment from the Sweet Slice stamp set onto a banner from EZ Wonder Die #1, then finished off with some butterfly stickers from the Sweet Summer Cottage PET Tape. The tape coordinates beautifully with the Paper Pad Club and add on ephemera this month!
My next two cards use a two for one layout. I cut two different sheets of paper down to 3.75" x 5". Then I cut from 2.75" down the long side to the right top corner. I then cut the remaining panel 2.25" down from the top corner to the bottom corner, which gave me 2 triangles and one diagonal middle strip. I swapped the patterned paper for the middle strip, and voila... two cards ready to assemble. For this card I added another panel of paper and a Doodlebug doily to give a little grounding for my gnome. The sentiment is from the stamp of the month and I colored it with Copic markers and cut with my Scan 'n Cut. I finished off with some peel off stickers to jazz up the layers and then finished with more of the coordinating PET stickers.
For my final card I added a bit of vellum behind my focal piece so it would stand out a bit more, then added a few doily die cuts and a sentiment from the stamp set. I finished off with some Minty Bliss sparkle enamel dots.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a fabulous day!
