Birthday Jotted Script, Grassland Collage and Goldfish Collage by Jean Okimoto

Celebrate a summer birthday with the new Birthday Jotted Script - and some favorites from the Memory Box Collection of dies and stamps. The new layered Jotted Script die sets - Birthday, Wonderful, Thanks and Awesome - are more than just the greetings. The fresh typestyle and bold background become design elements themselves.

Hello, happy weekend, Jean Okimoto here. After a week of separate internet, phone and email outages it's nice to create something handmade, with no chance of failure. Just place the Memory Box die on the cardstock and roll it through the machine for great results, every time! Without resets, passwords or error messages.

Cut black cardstock with the 4" x 5-¼" Rectangle Basics die. Cut Grassland Collage. Trim the rectangle with one edge of the 4-¼" x 5-½" Rectangle Basics die. No measuring or guessing required.

Attach red duct tape to a scrap of cardstock and cut Goldfish Collage. You'll have a pile of textured, glossy red fish ready for summer and fall projects.

Cut a silver and black screenprint moon with the 1-¼" Circle Basics die.

Cut Birthday Jotted Script from red and black cardstock. Quickly - before it gets lost - attach the little red dot for the "i" onto the black background.

Stamp the HAPPY portion of the greeting from the Spring Lilacs Clear Stamps Set on red cardstock with VersaFine Claire Nocturne.

Attach everything to an A-2 card of recycled Kraft cardstock.

Hope you're enjoying - and being inspired by - the Summer 2018 Collection cards from our Design Team. We love sharing our ideas with you!
