Happy Tuesday!

Today I’m sharing a sweet & sunny little easel card that I made on Facebook Live last week!  If you joined me, thank you!  If you missed it and you want a little walk through on how to do make the card, you can catch the replay!

I just love this cute little Sunny Studio Camper stamp & coordinating die set!  I had the idea in my head to use it on an easel card but had to adapt my plan a bit when I realized how small the image is, soo…. I created a little scene on a circle I cut from Kraft card stock & paired it with a sunny sentiment.

I am not typically one who buys the matching stamp & die, but I love it when there’s sets like this that have a little bonus like the tree die!  For this card, I actually used another stamp & die set for the sentiment as well!  I used the Hello Sunshine set for the first time last year when we did our Sunflower blog hop, and it’s a really sweet little set with the die cut word and a variety of sentiments to mix & match with it.  It’s a really great price point (under $10!) and still available in the shop!

I colored up my image with Distress Watercolor Pencil Crayons (I know you’ve seen them a lot lately, but I’m working on learning how to best use these pretties!) and used Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink stenciled on the background.

If you’ve never made an easel card before, I encourage you to watch the replay of my live class!  No hard feelings if you skip ahead to the assembly :). These little cuties are 4 1/4″ square and will fit in a standard A2 envelope.  I kept things really simple with 3D foam squares as my dimension to prop the easel up!

I hope you’re enjoying the summer sun & maybe some days away camping as well!  I look forward to seeing you back here on Friday for our August blog hop- it’s going to be fabulous!

Inky hugs,
