Summer Mood Party Cards with Katherine

Hello everyone, it's Katherine with some really fun cascade cards, perfect for any party.  I've used a mixture of Summer Mood and also the Essential paper collection too.

I used a mixture of the Fly Away and Cupcakes dies, teaming them with Summer Mood and also lots of the colourful essentials papers to make a cascade card, that folds flat for posting but has a really nice dimensional element too.

I drew several circles on the double dot chevron papers choosing rainbow colours, I offset each circle slightly and in the final blue one cut a curve which meant that I could stick the rainbows diagonally across the cards.  I hid the ends of the rainbow in the little pockets that get created by the cascade folds.

Once my rainbows were on I then added lots of clouds and hot air balloons using the Summer Mood papers to add some more colour.  I used the Sentiments stamps for the title.

I love the ease and precision of the die cut pieces, perfectly cut out with tiny bits of intricate detail.

I had lots of fun cutting out cupcakes in various styles and colours, as well as lots of little candles to pack this card with some birthday celebration.  I alternated rows of candles and cakes, and then went back and added more cakes!

I added some sparkle to the top of the cakes with confetti paste and also transferred some of the waste from the cupcake star cake to the swirl cake topping.

I cut out some banners from the Beat the Heat paper and strung them across above my sentiment to create a colourful and packed birthday card that will hopefully brighten someone's day.

Continuing with our "Pinspiration" our designers have created some fabulous cards!

Believe In Yourself Card by Agnieszka Bellaidea

If I could clone myself, one Agnieszka would spend her days just with Pinterest. I like to look at so many different boards.  The idea about making cards while inspired by photos from there was such a great idea. I liked happy romantic look and was trying to get this look by fussy cutting butterflies and also by hand stitching.

I also liked the color combo a lot and mixing Primrose with Baby Bump was my way of creating similar look.

Butterfly Kisses Card by Agnieszka Bellaidea

With my second card I went for more contrast but still added blue and pink from Baby Bump and Primrose papers. I did some hand stitching, more fussy cutting and I also created several layers.

Celebrate Card by Denise van Deventer

The inspiration for this card came from the pinwheels in the board, as well as the colors of the board.

The striped paper from the Modern Miss collection was great for the pinwheel, as the stripes allowed for easier scoring.

I punched the edge of the striped paper for my pinwheel and this gave it a nice soft look.

To add some depth and texture to the card, I embossed the background with a swirly stamp and clear embossing powder and then added some colour around the image.

Many Thanks card by Denise van Deventer

The inspiration from the Pinterest board came from that first image, where it has those 3 pictures so closely hung, that they look like 3 panels. So this little seed of inspiration was used for the design of the card, where I created the 3 panels. The paper was embossed and then distressed and inked.

I chose to use the colors of the board again too and so The Avenues was the perfect choice.

I distressed and inked all my papers and this really gave the soft look that I was wanting to achieve.
