Flip Flop Summer Card

Why make a summer card?  I find that summer is the season for spontaneous gatherings of friends and family.  This often requires a hostess gift and of course a handmade card.  Yay!....another reason to make a card! This simple card started with a 4X6 Snap card that came from a pack of 48 different sayings and images.  You may not be able to find this particular summer paper pack at HM Ben Franklin Crafts, but there are many printed card stock paper pads with summer themes which would also work well on a summer card. It was simple to cut the various papers  (from 6x6 paper pads) to frame the main sheet with the words. All the sheets were mounted onto a yellow card blank with double stick adhesive Heiko tape.  Two paper flowers from HM BFC were glued onto the rubber slippers.  Happy Summer!

For the inside of the card I simply used some rainbow washi tape and a stamped/die cut flip flop image.  I think it will be cute to sign my name on the rubber slippers. This quick card really took only a few minutes and now I'm ready for any spontaneous gathering where a hostess gift would be appropriate.  Please stop by and visit this craft blog again to see more quick summer card ideas.
