Ivy’s Adorable Summer Friends Mini Card Set

Ivy created the cutest set of mini cards featuring Summer Friends and Gleeful Gradients papers! Her design is quick and easy to create using the coordinating Summer Friends Coloring Stencils!

Ivy used Stitched the second largest of the Large Rounded Rectangle Stackables with Gleeful Gradients petite papers to create the colorful shaped mini cards. She made a top-fold card base, then she positioned the rounded rectangle die past the top fold to die cut the rounded tent fold cards.

Next, she used the third largest of the Large Stitched Rounded Rectangles to cut panels of watercolor cardstock. She stamped the cute Summer Friends with Jet Black Ink directly on the panel before using the coordinating coloring stencils to fill them with happy Lawn Fawn ink colors (see colors in supply list below).

Ivy tied a colorful cord around the decorated panel before mounting it on the card using foam adhesive.

I love the googly eyes! It’s such a charming detail that makes these cards so special!

And the punny sentiments coordinating with the whimsical images will surely make the recipient smile!

Thank you so much for creating this wonderful, quick and easy card set, Ivy! So happy you shared with us today!

Let’s celebrate summer! Chari made a fun tri-fold card with a beautiful summery scene! You can watch the video below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.

Thanks so much for watching Chari’s tutorial!

Tri-fold cards are so much fun, and Chari‘s mini slimline design is filled with a beachy summer scene!

She used Platform Pop-Up Palm Tree Inserts to create an “island”. And she used Stitched Wave Borders to create the extra panels that expand the scene.

Then she combined images from Shello Friend, Smooth Sailing, Mermaid for You Flip-Flop and You Are Sublime to fill in the summery scene!

Yay! It’s summertime and the Summer Friends wish you a happy summer! Audrey created a watercolor background, then she placed the cute friends on the Simply Celebrate Hangouts brick wall.

Shello, friend! Elise filled the background with Stitched Seashells cut from Gleeful Gradients papers. Then she finished this cool card design by spelling out shello with Finley’s ABCs.

The Car Critters bears are heading off to the beach in Marine‘s delightful scene! She used Riverside Backdrop: Portrait for the road then lined it with palm trees from Ahoy Matey and Life is Good. And she added the lighthouse from Smooth Sailing. I love how she used all the Car Critters Road Trip Add-On images on top of the cars and the sentiment from Summer Friends is so perfect!

Mindy‘s sunny card features Summer Friends and Tropical Backdrop! She also used Stitched Simple Wavy Borders for the ocean and Sunray Stencil to ink up that amazing background! For the greeting she combined Henry’s ABCs with Simply Summer Sentiments!

Megan created a beachy background with Platform Pop-Up Palm Tree Inserts and Stitched Wavy Backdrop: Portrait! It’s the perfect place for the Shello Friend critters to hang out with the crab from Life is Good! It’s “shrimply” the best!

Melissa created a cool background with Raffle Tickets and colorful cardstock including our new Hyacinth color! She stamped the tiny saying on the tickets before arranging the Summer Friends on a vellum circle and layering it on top. And a Stitched Scalloped Square Frame in Holographic cardstock is such a fun border!

The Shello Friend gang plays nicely with other underwater sets including Mermaid for You! Yainea used Stitched Ripple Backdrop with Gleeful Gradients paper. Then she added a fun friendship greeting from Magic Messages.

Elena got so creative using Riverside Backdrop: Landscape to create a fun beach scene. Ahoy Matey, Life is Good and Smooth Sailing fill in the beachy elements. Then she used Tiny Christmas and Hay There, Hayrides for the dog and sailor.

Today it’s all about interactive cards, so Chari starts us off with a fun and summery Flippin’ Awesome card! You can watch the video below or click HERE to watch at our YouTube channel.

Thanks so much for watching!

Chari‘s fun interactive card shows us that Summer Friends and Flippin’ Awesome are made for each other! She included the palm trees from Ahoy Matey to create a super cool design to celebrate summer!

As each flap flips, another summer friend and coordinating pun is there to delight the recipient!

Chari added the decorative scallop from Flippin’ Awesome Add-on for extra fun and detail!

Megan‘s interactive birthday design takes the form of a Shadow Box Card! This cute scene features Keep on Swimming Add-On with Cake it Easy Add-On! I love the colorful party hats; they add so much fun! The shadow box card folds flat for mailing then pops open to sit on a table or mantle to continue bringing joy!

The Capybaras are having fun hanging out at the pond in Marine‘s beautiful Pull ‘n Slide Surprise scene!

She created a bold custom greeting to add to the slider using Henry’s ABCs!

Then she hid another adorable capybara in the pond under the folding flap! So much fun!

Audrey‘s Platform Pop-Up features cute ocean critters and the new Platform Pop-Up Wave Wrap Around! I love how she used acetate strips to make all the critters from Duh-nuh, Duh-nuh Flip-Flop and Shello Friend appear to swimming through the fun underwater scene!

Grace used the new Keep on Swimming Add-On with the Reveal Wheel Keep on Swimming Drop-Down Add-On to make this cute interactive card. I love how she changed up the Reveal Wheel, turning the card so it’s landscape to fit her wider scene.

She combined the curious kitty with the fishbowl with more felines from Meow You Doin’ and festive balloons and cake from All the Smiles! And the pretty papers from Rainbow Ever After and Bitsy Blooms add lots of color too!

Elena‘s Platform Pop-Up is filled with lots of birthday fun! She added the Wave Wrap Around to create a happy underwater scene! She combined Shello Friend with Mermaid for You, and Mermaid for You Flip-Flop. And then she made it a party with balloons from Yappy Birthday and a Cake it Easy cake!

Elise and Chari were definitely thinking alike! Elise also created a fun Flippin’ Awesome card featuring the adorable Summer Friends! She used the clever scalloped square included in this interactive set and Gleeful Gradients paper to add colorful mats to each panel.

And of course, she added the Summer Friends sentiment to last the panel, to make you smile!

Introducing again, I Love You Mower!

I Love You Mower was our clever little April Fool’s Day set and it’s now available as part of the Summer 2025 Release! Whether you’re celebrating a rad Dad or spreading smiles to your favorite lawn lover, this set has you covered from blade to blade! Check out the I Love You Mower intro video to learn more about this adorable set!

I love how Chari combined our new little set with the fun flamingo from Gnome Sweet Gnome! It’s a mix and match made in backyard heaven! I Love You Mower also has a coordinating die set, and a coloring stencil set, which Chari used to color the cute images. Adding to the whimsy is the sun from Spring Showers with some cool shades from All the Smiles!

I Love You Mower is so perfect for Father’s Day! Audrey created a sunny scene with Cloudy Stencil and Happy Village! And Giant Happy Dad’s Day is just right to send a loving greeting!

This cute mouse is happily mowing the grass in Elena‘s adorable scene! She added puffy clouds from Butterfly Kisses, then she created a clever greeting with Giant Hello Sunshine and Oliver’s Stitched ABCs.

All the little mice agree that dad is the best! Megan constructed this sweet scene with Simply Celebrate Critters and “fence” made with Simple Stripes: Portrait! She added a Grassy Hillside and stenciled clouds along with “dad” from Dad + Me.

Our I Love You Mower mouse and his lawnmower have their work cut out for them with Mindy‘s cute scene! She stenciled lots of grass to keep this little guy busy along with pretty clouds in the sky! I love how Heart Tree makes a sweet focal point!
