June 2025 Card Kit of the Month

    Kit Includes:
             • Summer State of Mind 6×8 Clear Stamp Set
             • Summer State of Mind Coordinating Dies
             • Beach Bag Die set
             • Sand Embossing Powder, 0.5oz
            • 10 Sheets of Cardstock- 2 of each color, 5.5″ x 8.5″ (Fawn, Coral, Seaside, Waterfall, 
                    Blue Spruce)

1. Stamp the June Cling of the Month on an A2 panel of Seaside ColorWheel Cardstock using Unicorn White Pigment Ink. You’ll want a nice juicy ink pad and stamp it until you achieve the desired effect.

2. Cut the dies included in the June Card Kit of the Month out of Seaside, Waterfall, Blue Spruce, Coral, Rainforest, Fern, Lavender, Fawn and Fog ColorWheel Cardstock in addition to Gold Matte Metallic Cardstock and vellum.

3. Add shading to die cuts with inks slightly darker than the cardstock color.

4. Heat emboss the sentiment on Seaside ColorWheel Cardstock with White Detail Embossing Powder. Cut out with coordinating die then cut twice more. The sentiment turned out a bit light so I added Paradise Core Ink for contrast. Adhere sentiment die cuts together.

5. Cut stamped panel to 4 x 5 1/4” and adhere to an A2 card base.

6. Assemble die cuts then begin adhering them to the beach bag before adding to card. Add thin foam squares behind die cuts and then place on card.

7. Adhere sentiment below bag and add Clear Enamel Dots Aquas throughout.

1. Using a stamp positioner and the June Cling Stamp of the Month, mask off the row below, ink up the stripe then stamp it.

2. Repeat across stamp, masking off the stripe above and below. I used Cotton Candy, Azalea, Cranberry, Tangerine, Dandelion, Green Apple, Fresh Lawn, Cornflower and Orchid Core Inks.

3. Cut the June Die Set of the Month from a variety of ColorWheel Cardstock colors. I used Blush, Tutu, Wild Berry, Poppy, Coral, Carrot, Beeswax, Peridot, Seaside, Malibu, Lilac, Classic White and Raven. I also used Hero Arts Sand cardstock and white glitter cardstock.

4. Assemble die cuts with liquid glue.

5. Stamp sentiment from June Card Kit of the Month on white cardstock with Intens-ified Black Ink then cut out with coordinating die. Cut twice more and adhere together.

6. Cut stamped panel to 4 x 5 1/4” and adhere to an A2 panel of Raven ColorWheel Cardstock. Add to an A2 card base.

7. Adhere die cuts with thin foam squares and liquid glue where things overlap.

8. Adhere sentiment then add a rainbow of translucent Enamel Dots throughout.
