Tour de Freaks July Blog Hop - Summer Lovin'

Hello, Stampers!

The FrEaKs are lovin' Summer and 

can't wait to share their Summer projects with you!

Whether you are just starting out here or arriving from

Connie's blog, there are lots of amazing projects 

and plenty of summer days left for you to create! 

Tropical relaxation and popsicles are 

on my to-do list for Summertime! 

I may need to stick to my backyard, but

it will definietly include ice-cold (adult) popsicles!

I created the popsicles with the layering ovals

dies and the Classic label punch. The little letters fit right 

inside the oval so you can run them through the Big Shot

in one pass - a time-saver!

This card featured the Eclipse Technique and our new 

Playful Alphabet letter dies. 

Have you tried the new Foam

Adhesive Sheets?  They are so easy

to work with. I just set the letters on top and ran them through

the Big Shot. See that "L"? Sometime that magnetic base has a mind

of its own! haha No worries - it cuts like butter!

After cutting the foam, I set the letters onto my stamped panel

and again ran it throught the Big Shot. A helpful tip

is to add a piece of removable tape on top to hold the

letters in place while you cut.

After the letters were cut, I added them on top of the foam and

places them onto the card. I hope you will give it a try!
