{The Cat's Pajamas Sneak Peek} Summer Sayings

I'm back with the last day of TCP sneak peeks. Today we are highlighting the Summer Sayings set and today I have a two-fer for you. I can see lots of uses for this set. For cards of course, but also for traditional scrapbook pages as well as Project Life and smash books.I absolutely adore this set. I love summer and am planning on a beach vacation in July so the wording is perfect.

Subway art is a major trend right now so I decided to try it. I just started stamping the various sentiments and images in different ink colors onto white cardstock for a hot, summery look. There are a few smidgie smudges (yeah, that's a technical term) but I'm hoping you think it adds to the charm! After I finished the stamping, I added some buttons and jewels here and there. I attached the piece to an oversized tag shape that I created with a piece from the Toppers CutUps set. Before attaching the tag to the card base, I slipped a piece underneath at the top that I cut with Spellbinders Nestabilities. I then added the fun sunglasses at the bottom cut with the new Glasses CutUps.

My second project has a whole different look. I started out by cutting a tag shape using the new Luggage Tag CutUps. I then used several sets, plus a bit of patterned paper to decorate it. The row of vehicles and the 'roadtrip' sentiment came from the Summer Sayings set. The Beep Beep sentiment and the center dotted lines came from the Joyride set and the checkerboard patterned was stamped from the Toni's Tea Set. The patterned papers all came from the Simples Stories Urban Traveler and I added a small heart cut with the icons from the Pinwheels CutUps onto the center of the North America portion of the map paper secured with a teeny tiny Queen and Co. brad. I wrapped some twine around the card front and then attached the tag with double sided tape. I anchored it down with a couple of buttons and a wood veneer vehicle by Studio Calico.
