Hello Crafty Friends! Inspired by the coast, our Pink & Main June release is full of sunshine and flamingos, sandcastles and seashells, mermaids and surfing sea turtles!
Be sure to head on over to the Pink & Main to check out the entire release and all of the amazing inspirations.
And of course there's our monthly mouse - for June, there’s two! A little patriotic cowboy, and another heading to the beach! And for one week, the June Mouse set is free with a $50 purchase!
I had so much fun playing with this Release and have 4 projects to share with you today. So let's get started.
Seas the day, it's your birthday! My first card is a sweet birthday card showcasing the absolutely adorable new Let's Make Waves set. This super cute set is part of a new YUZU line and beautifully illustrated by a new illustrator to Pink & Main, Yan Au. I am so excited to see her work here and can't wait to see her future sets!
I stamped the images from the Let's Make Waves Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Let's Make Waves Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

For the background, I took a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and ink blended Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy Distress Oxide inks. Once the panel was dry, I used the largest die from the Stitched Rectangle set 2 Dies to trim out the panel.
I stamped one of the sentiments from the set directly onto the panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The colored images were adhered to the panel with a combo of liquid adhesive and foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. The panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").
Sending Waves of Smiles Your Way! My second card is a nautical themed card showcasing the new Smooth Sailing set. This fun set has a variety of sailing themed images and sentiments.
I stamped the images from the Smooth Sailing Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Smooth Sailing Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

For the background, I took a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and ink blended Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide inks. I used a white gel pen to add some waves to the water.
For the frame, I took another piece of white cardstock 4.25" x 5.5") and used the third largest die from the Stitched Rectangle set 2 Dies to trim out a window in the the panel. I stamped one of the sentiments from the set onto the frame with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.
I adhered the colored images to the inked panel. Foam tape was used to adhere the frame panel to the inked panel. The panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5"). Finally, I finished the card by adhering a few red stars form the new Patriotic Stars Confetti.
Summer Greetings! My third card is a clean and simple one showcasing these cute new The Three Flamingos Dies.
I used the The Three Flamingos Dies to diecut the three flamingos out of pink and black cardstock. I used a white gel pen t add some highlights.
For the background, I took a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and lightly ink blended Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to the bottom of the panel. Once the panel was dry, I used the largest die from the Stitched Rectangle set 2 Dies to trim out the panel.
The flamingos were adhered directly to the inked panel.
For the sentiment, I stamped the Summer Greetings sentiment from the new June Mouse Stamps set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with the new Party Pink Embossing Powder. I used one of the sentiment strip dies from the Large Sentiment Strip Dies to diecut it out. The strip was adhered to the panel with foam tape.
The front panel was adhered to a piece of pink cardstock before it was adhered to a white A2 cardbase.
A Sunny Hello! My last card is a sweet beach themed card showcasing the absolutely adorable new Spe-shell Day set. All of the images in this set are so super cute that I had to try to include all of them.
I stamped the images from the Spe-shell Day Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating She-shell Day Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.
