Easy Summer Cards: What's the Scoop?

I love the way that so many manufacturers make it easy to add a bit of whimsy to layouts and cards.  I am particularly fond of the die cuts that come with each line at My Mind's Eye.


This die cut sheet from On the Sunny Side is a case in point.  Look at all those fun summer icons.


You can use the die cuts as is or you can doctor them up.  I used the ice cream truck (upper L) for my card and altered it by adding brad wheels and a layered sticker with ice cream icons. I used foam tape underneath to give it dimension on the card.


For the card base, I used a folded card from Memory Box. Love those.  There you have it.  A quick and easy summer card.



I hope you have a great day.  Me?  I'm off in search of ice cream.....
