Concord & 9th is the Masterclass presenter during July over at The Stamp Nation. The informative video tutorials are full of new stamping and diecutting techniques using their products.
It is always fun to get to play with products the design team receives and to make samples. My card today is based on the Summer theme challenge inspiration photo posted on July 5th. In the photo was an adorable Popsicle that looked like a watermelon.
I just had to re-create a card using their Sweet & Cool die set! Here's my finished card:

I just had to re-create a card using their Sweet & Cool die set! Here's my finished card:
The popsicle is die cut on watercolor paper. Color was achieved using a wet-on-wet technique. With a brush, I layed down water on the top section of the popsicle. I smooshed Catherine Pooler's Tutti Fruitti onto a kraft sheet and proceeded to pick up color with a wet brush and drop onto the wet popsicle area. I let that dry a little and went back in with more Tutti Fruitti to deepen the color. Next, I wet the lower area and dropped in Catherine Pooler's Melon Ice in the same manner as the top area. Once dry, I stamped the seeds from the C&9th Orange You Sweet stamp set with CP's Black Jack. To match the inspiration photo, I even dry embossed vertical lines using a FSJ embossing folder!
Since I wanted to match the Melon Ice for a background panel, I simply swiped the inkpad along the edge! No worries about having the right cardstock. The white panel was diecut using Journey Rectangles.
Of course I had a package of popsicle sticks in my stash and snipped off a section with my wire cutters! It is held in place with Beacon 3-in-one glue. Sweet was stamped next with Midnight.
Finally, Hello was stamped using the Misti to insure I would get a solidly filled in sentiment using CP's new Black Jack. The panels were affixed and the popsicle was mounted with foam mounting tape that was exactly the thickness of the popsicle stick. CP&9th heart diecut was mounted to the popsicle for added whimsy.
