Summertime Fun!

Happy July 4th!! I hope my American friends have something fun planned for today! We're headed to a parade and then to my in-laws for a cookout. The weather is YUCKY, though -- rainy and temps in the 70's! :(

Anyway, I have more previews of the July C.C. Designs releases to show you today! This set is called Summertime Fun, and it really is SO much fun! There is a snorkling Lulu, a surfing Lucky, and a monkey in an innertube! Here is Lulu doing a little diving. I had originally planned to make a gel (water) card, but I didn't have a bag that was the correct size. So, since necessity is the mother of invention, I embossed some bubbles on a piece of acetate instead! I used the Cuttlebug Tiny Bubbles embossing folder, and I love the result!

Here's a closeup of the bubbles -- it looks like she's swimming in a big tank! :) I colored the image with Copics and added some Baby Blue Stickles to the bubbles. I cut some wavy corners and added ribbon and Dew Drops to the card.

Surf's Up!! Here's Lucky doing some surfing! As soon as I saw this image, I knew I wanted to create some waves with the D'vine Swirls Cuttlebug folder. I cut around some of the swirls and applied Cool Caribbean ink directly from the pad to the embossing. I colored Lucky with Copics, cut him out, and mounted him on dimensionals. The ric rac adds another wavy element, and the Sugarcoated Brads and Stickles give some sparkle.

Do you like the previews so far? Head over to the All That Scraps Blog for more DT samples of the new releases -- you can also leave a comment for a chance to win one of them! All the new sets will be released July 7 at 10:00 PM Eastern Time.

Have a great day, everyone -- thanks for stopping by! I'll have more previews tomorrow! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, USA!!!!!
