Chasing Summer Skies

Simon Says Stamp | Friend Like You Release
06/26/2025

Hi there!

There’s something about a vibrant sunset over the mountains that just feels like summer—and this card captures that vibe with soft colors, dreamy layers, and a cozy sentiment. I used products from Simon Says Stamp’s Friend Like You release to build this little summertime scene.

The layered mountain stencil (linked below) made it easy to create depth and drama, while the soft cloud shapes and bright sun balance it with warmth. A bold sentiment and a bit of twine keep things casual and summery—like a postcard from your favorite sunset spot. 🏞

Design Highlights 🌞

  • 🏔 Layered mountain scene – Soft, stenciled layers in warm gray tones for depth and dimension.
  • 🌅 Sunset-inspired ink blending – A blend of warm oranges, pinks, and yellows to capture that golden hour glow.
  • ☁️ Puffy white clouds – Add just the right dose of whimsy.
  • 🧵 Tied twine accent – Adds a relaxed, summery finishing touch.
  • 💬 Seasonal sentiment – “Enjoy the warm days of summer” wraps it all up perfectly.

Whether you’re watching real sunsets or just dreaming of them, this card is a little piece of summer to share. 🌤

Have a wonderfully creative day, everyone!

I fell in love with card-making many years ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying out new techniques and finding the perfect color combination for whatever I’m creating.

By nature, I am an uber-organizer and a steadfast planner, but as you’ll see, my creations are much more fluid. And while I love color theory, the concept of lights and shadows, and the importance of depth and perspective – these are not things I worry about when it comes to my creations.

I simply find joy in creating and delight in sharing.

I hope that by sharing my cards and other art with you here on my blog I can inspire you to create something you love!
