A Tropical Card for Summer Wishes!

Happy first day of Summer!!! That's right – today is the Summer Solstice! I just love Summer. My favorite thing to do in the summer is swim – so I promise you that I will show you some Summer Swimming scrapbook pages in the coming month or two (nope – it probably won't be me in the pictures – because my LEAST favorite thing about the Summer is the need to wear a bathing suit!!).

But for today, I'm going to share with you a card in line with my other favorite thing about Summer besides swimming… Cocktails! I LOVE Summer Cocktails… I was exposed to my first REAL Pina Colada on the Stampin' Up! Cruise to Bermuda so this card brings back happy memories from that.

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• This is one of my FAVORITE Summer Color Combinations: Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red and So Saffron. The colors are just so BRIGHT and CHEERY! And they totally scream summer. Stampin' Up!'s latest Designer Series Paper Pack, Island Oasis, highlights these colors beautifully!
• There's a lot of cutting out on this card… something I don't usually do! I think the reason that people struggle most with cutting is because they don't know how to REALLY use scissors. I hope that doesn't sound insulting because yes, scissors are something we learn to use in kindergarten… but it really is the truth! I find that people who struggle most with cutting are moving their scissors to get the cuts and pretty much leaving the paper still. For the best results, you actually want to do the opposite! Leave your scissors still and move your cardstock around into the blade. Give it a try the next time you need to make a cut!
• The other thing I want to comment on in this card is the greeting "Just Chillin'" – don't those white words really "POP"!? I just love using RubOns for my greetings for this very reason. Unfortunately… our Chit Chat RubOns are retiring… But you can still get them through June 30th!
