Hello Summer

July 12, 2012 by Rebecca Wagner 7 Comments

Hello everyone, I’m back with a fun card using the new mini Hello Summer set.  It is such a cute little mini set and goes great with all the new Summer paper stacks.  This set has bright and cheery all over it!  So let’s get to my card.

I used all three stamps on the card. The sun was inked in yellow chalk ink and outlined with a darker yellow and orange color pencil. The sentiment was first stamped with the same yellow chalk ink and then stamped over with Tuxedo Black by Memento. I thought I would add a little interest to the inside, so I stamped the adorable beach ball inside in black.  You like?  Let me know in the comments and don’t forget to enter the Summer challenge right here at My Thoughts Exactly!

Supplies:
Sweet Summertime by Echo Park Papers
Sea Creatures digi stamps by Zenware
Mimosa Seam Binding

These are Crimson Luxe top tabs in two versions: one with reinforced holes, one without.

The goal here is simple:
How well do they hold up when you pop them in, move them around, and reposition dividers as needed?

Early takeaway?
These aren’t meant to be shuffled around constantly like a disc planner. This is more of a place-them-with-intention, then let them live there situation.

I’m testing both versions to see what actually holds up in real use, not just what looks good in photos.
More notes once I’ve abused them a little more. 😏

If this works… I may have just solved a problem that’s been living rent-free in my head.

No promises yet, but I’m cautiously optimistic and slightly smug about it. 💅📒✨
