Hi Summer lovin’ friends!  Scorcher here…just in time for fireworks!  Some orange heat happening on my cards with the NEW Mid Century Ethereal Plate from Simon Says Stamp Out of this World Release!

I did some puzzle work with it!  I die cut it in four colors of cardstock and then in white cardstock one time for this first card where I inlaid the pieces.

No rhyme nor reason…I tried to come up with a plan for this shape and that color but it just didn’t work out.  So random it is on all four!

I used two strips of wide scor-tape on the back and inlaid the pieces right in. It’s really fun and enjoyable!  I was surprised!  So I kept going!

The next two cards, I put a die cut frame with peel and stick on the front, face down and added in the pieces right side down.

Then I put a mounting foam square on the back of each shape. Turned the panel over and stuck it to a white A2 card panel.  (If I’d been thinking, I could’ve mounted it directly onto an A2 cardbase.)   Then I pulled off the peel and stick and the die cut background panel I’d used to position the shapes.

I like them popped up like this a lot too.  For some reason the camera kinda blurs them out.  Maybe my phone pictures are better, I’ll add some.

I used sentiments from the NEW Memory Box Gracious Floral Clear Stamp Set.  Stamped and die cut…stamped and heat embossed.  I used a different one on each card.

For this card, I layered the four colored panels that I’d used the shapes from so it’s like a deep frame with the shapes down in.  I hope it shows that in my pictures.

They really turned out nice.  Wish I could show you in person! lol  A fun addition to my stash!

Here’s some more pictures….I took a lot with my Nikon and my phone!

Thank you so much for stopping by!  I love hearing from you and appreciate your comments so much!

Take care and Happy 4th of July!
