Summer die-cutting scene card | Aveccreative

Hello everyone!

It is very hot here in the Netherlands. So, I am in a summery mood. And of course, a summery card suits that. I had this die-cutting set in my stash for a while. It is time to create a summer die-cutting scene card with it.

Let’s get into it.

Card recipe for the Summer die-cutting scene card:

• white card stock to make your background and to die-cut from.
• white card stock to die-cut the pieces on the card.
• Color medium. I used alcohol markers, but you can use anything you want, also colored card stock.
• Clear stamp for the sentiment.
• White card stock to make the base of the card. This is a slimline card so you will need a piece of card stock measuring 21 centimeters by 21 centimeters. Score at 10,5 centimeters.

Background for the summary slimline card

For this card, I wanted to create a beach scene. So I decided to color the background with my alcohol markers. At the bottom of the card I want to have the beach, in the middle the see and on top the beautiful sunset sky. I color this first, before I die-cut the scene with the dies.

I used the following colors from my Twinmarkers:

• Beach and sand castle: Clay (116), Warm Caramel (256), Sand (107) and Caramel (253).
• Water: Frost Blue, Cerulean Blue L. and Cerulean Blue.
• Air: Bright Apricot (214), Orange (23), Canarian Yellow (45) and Pastel Lemon (39).

I die-cut the background with a slimline die.

Coloring the little dies.

I decided to color the small die-cuts also with my alcohol markers. But you can use any medium you like. You can also die-cut them out of colored card stock or color them with your inks. I decided to color them with my alcohol markers so, I die-cut them out of white paper. After that I color them with my twinmarkers.

This are the color combinations I used:

• Palm tree trunk: Natural Oak (91), Burnt Sienna (95) and Rose Beige (97).
• Leaves: Weeds Green (162), Grass Green (47) and Forest Green (50).
• Ball, flip-flops and parasol: Cardinal (244), English Red (249) and Burgundy (247).
• Bucket: Canarian Yellow (45), Deep Yellow (32) and Dark Yellow (31).
• Scoop: Frost Blue, Cerulean Blue l and Cerulean Blue
• Sailboat: Cool Grey 5 (CG5), Cool Grey 4 (CG4) and Cool Grey 1 (CG1).
• Birds: Black (120).
• Sandcastle: Clay (116), Warm Caramel (256), Sand (107) and Caramel (253).

Sentiment

In the background, I stamp my sentiment. In Dutch, it means “Grab the sun and shine”. Stamp before sticking the background on the base card if you are using a stamping tool. It’s easier that way, I found out.

Assembling the card.

Now its time to assemble the card. Stick the background on your base card. Now you can stick all the die-cuts onto your background. I decided not to use foam tape this time, but to stick everything flat on the card.

The card is finished. I hope you like it! Let me know in the comments.
