Minty Modern Summer of Stamping

I am loving the designs & new releases in Ellen Hutson's Summer of Stamping.  When I saw these amazing cards created by my very first card crush (JulieHRR clear back in 2006) Julie Ebersole, I knew I had to make those designs my own.

 

 

I decided to use the wonderful summery Minty August Elemental Challenge from Daring Cardmakers to inspire my designs.  I used the colors, the popsicle shape which looks like the fingernails, typewriter text, & the circles from the nail polish & paint lid in my designs.

 

I used Catherine Pooler Mint to Be, In the Park and Twilight for my ink colors with a pop of Gina K. Designs Amalgam Black.

My first card used shapes from the new Essentials by Ellen Stay Cool Stamp set by Julee together with a sentiment from Essentials by Ellen Besties by Julee.

 

 

I'm also linking-up this card at AAA Cards = Two Quarters with an Optional Twist of Favourite Colors (I took my half right out of the middle).

 

Next up is a second card with stamps from the same combination ... I thought the shapes I stamped reminded me of my version of Nerf Bullets.

 

 

Then as I was trying different stamp combinations, I pulled out images from Essentials by Ellen Organic Elements by Julee (the three wonky lines) to add to the mix.

 

 

This card I'm linking-up at Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers F is for F words - because Friendship is the best F word.

 

 

And my final card uses stamps from all three sets.

 

 

This last one is for the Little Red Wagon Just Because Card Challenge.

I had so much fun playing with these modern designs, I know I'll be doing it again with other fun color combinations. 

Thanks so much Julee for designing great stamp sets & inspiring me for over 15 years ... and to Ellen for an amazing Summer of Stamping #ebesummerofstamping.  You are both da' bomb.
