Just Add Summer and a SAB Sneak Peek

Summery Sandals ... Flip Flops, Jandals or just plain 'Thongs' in Aussie Lingo

... so whatever name you call them, the good old Aussie thong represents all things sun, sand, surf and SUMMER.

At Just Add Ink there's a challenge to JUST ADD SUMMER to your paper craft creation this week.

To add to the Summertime Theme I have used the Stampin' Up! colours of Sahara Sand and Marina Mist.

Hint: I crimped the piece of Marina Mist card stock before I traced out the template for the back of the flip flop.

Just Add Summer - JAI Challenge #49

Did you notice the Sale-a-bration sneak peek? I have used the cute little flower stamp from the 2011 SAB set called 'Bliss' and I've also discovered it's a good match for one of the Antique Brads. I'll supply more details about the SAB promotion later. It's my favourite time of the Stampin' Up! Year.

There's quite a few flip flop card templates in 'Blog Land' and I got this particular one from the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club so even if I could actually track down the original post (which I have tried to find), I wouldn't be able to link it up. It is, however, from Diane Zechman (cookiestamper). If you're looking to find a template just "Google" Flip Flop Card Pattern (not to be confused with what we call 'swing cards') and there's a multitude of choices out there.

Alternatively, I have come across a great site that offers quite a variety of free templates and you'll find one for a Flip Flop Card HERE. It's a little different in design but a good starting point.

Happy crafting!
