Hello everyone! How are you? It's Nuria here today and I have to tell you that I've been working with the NEW "Essentials 2 Summer" collection and... it is absolutely A-MA-ZING!! Love the summery colours and patterns of the papers, the cute die cuts, stickers (flip flops, radio, beach bag, food trucks, watermelon, lemonade, ice cream,...) and stamps are a dream to document your summer memories! And don't miss the other elements that make the best of this collection!

But let me focus on today's projects: three refreshing summery cards! Ideal for sending greetings from the beach (or from the mountains) to your beloved ones, to keep them in your PL with your memories or as decoration of your summer album. Or just for fun! ;) The three cards have the same base: a white cardstock. And on top of it I glued different patterned papers. You know I like a lot to work using this format. In this case I used the TN papers because I wanted to have a smaller illustration sizes.

Have you seen this yellow vichy patterned paper? Isn't it beautiful? Love it soo much! I sewn the patterned paper with the sewing machine to add some texture. The radio, the watermelon, the monstera leaf and the flip flops brought me to the sand in the beach in 5 seconds, and had to use them as decoration in this card. Final details are done with herbal forms by black points, the 'so cool' sentiment and an enamel dot in that juicy red watermelon colour! So beautiful!

When I saw the first reel S40 published with the NEW "Essentials 2 Summer" collection my eye caught this food truck! Frankly speaking I thought it was a van because the video was moving fast, but the good news is that you also have a van in this collection! So now you know it, you have a van, different types of food trucks and also a beautiful food truck stamp.

For this pinkish card I chose the ice cream food truck with all the small ice creams cut out one by one and glued on white thread, which wrapped around the patterned paper. I folded down the margins of the patterned paper to give more volume. I added 'Sweet day' and some enamel dots to finalise the composition.

I love this patterned paper, it is so summery! With this mint blue as background and the refreshing lemons! This time I embossed the white cardstock and sewn twice the patterned paper with the sewing machine. I decorated them with lemons, a jar of lemonade, a glass of soda, the 'so much fun' sticker and some enamel dots make my day! If you look close, I ondulated the sticker and ripped the patterned paper by several points.
