It’s summer. Time to put your cares aside and relax with our July kit, On My Mind. Perfect for just about any occasion, On My Mind also gives you lots of masculine options—especially if you like classic nautical themes. Plus, we’ve made it easy for you to expand your crafting possibilities with this versatile kit by designing it to coordinate with three suites from the annual catalog: Garden Lane, Woven Threads, and Come Sail Away. And who can resist that Pretty Peacock ink spot? (The correct answer is: Nobody. It’s so fun and indulgent. Pretty much like a peacock. *wink*) So don’t wait. See the how-to video below, then get started on your summer cardmaking today!

Thanks Card
Our concept artist used a quick and easy watercolor technique to capture the look of an ocean horizon. Look easy? It is! Just fill your Aqua Painter barrel with water, twist closed, and dab the brush with ink. (A little ink on the inner side of your Classic Stampin’ Pad lid is all you need.) Dilute the ink/adjust the color by squeezing the barrel. Then simply run the brush across Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper for instant summer sea and sky. The effect is pretty amazing. You’ll almost hear the sea birds and smell the salt air.
Thinking of You Card
To give your Designer Series Paper a distressed, vintage look, crumple it and sand it using a sanding block from a craft store. After all, distressing adds instant character to your project. And isn’t that tassel gorgeous? (If you need tips for making your own, do a quick search online for tassel tutorial videos. It’s much easier than it looks!)
Wonderful Couple Card
To add highlights to the embossed background, lightly swipe the Whisper White Craft Ink pad across the embossed card base. Boom! Instant pop! And now you have a new crafting technique to add to your repertoire.
