I was so excited to win a spot at the Summer Card Camp 2 class! This is my first time participating in an Online Card Class and I'm really enjoying it so far.
It's a three week class. For Week 1, they've posted a colour combo and three sketches we can use.
For my card, I used the second sketch, along with the colour combo, which I interpreted as Hawaiian Shores, Harvest Gold, Orange Zest, Pure Poppy & white.
Here's my card:
I incorporated several of the techniques shared into my card:
1. I impressed my vellum background using my PTI Simple Stripes impression plate.
2. I did a some multi-ink stamping on one of my tags using my PTI Big Ticket Basics stamp set.
3. I made a dimensional diecut with my PTI Seeing Stars die (I diecut several stars from cardstock and adhered them together, adding a final layer diecut from some Echo Park patterned paper.)
Here's a close-up of the star, where you can see some of the dimension:
Jonah's invited to a birthday party on Sunday and the birthday boy is turning nine.
I decided to embellish an envelope for the card, for this week's Make It Monday at Papertrey Ink, using the same supplies.
Thanks for looking!

Love it, Leigh. I've got to get started on this class and I can't wait to try the impressed vellum - such a neat look.
great cards! glad to see you are enjoying the class!
Leigh, I was just thinking about how I need to use this tag stamp set and I am just loving how you stacked them - great inspiration here! What an awesome take on the sketch, and good idea combining it with MIM!
(My card had dark orange in real life, and the font on the circle is bright pink, with light pink polka dots...bummer that it seems red on your machine! :( )
WONDERFUL!!!!!!!! I've had TICKETS on my mind lately too!!!!!!!! :)
(Found you through Summer Stamp Camp!) :)
Cute, cute, cute Leigh! One of my most favorite creations you've made.

Fantastic Leigh! Such great colours. I wanted to take this class, but right now I am too busy. So I will live vicariously through you! ;)
Really like your card. I love how you used the tickets for the rectangle pp in the sketch. I also love your decorated envelope. So pretty!!
Fab card and envelope- especially loving the multi- inked ticket.
I'm excited that you're playing along with Summer Card Camp 2, also, Leigh! Love this card! And I can't wait to get started creating myself! :-)
So beautiful, love your techniques. So lucky you win a spot in that class, I love Jen and Kristina's classes they have always the best tips and ideas.
Terrific take on the SCC2 sketch & I love the matching envelope Leigh!
Congrats on winning the spot! Wow, your cards are fabulous! I love tickets!
These are awesome, can't wait to see what else you will learn!

Leigh, this is an awesome interpretation of the sketch!!! So glad you are in this class! Love the choice of stamps for this layout!
Your so lucky you won a spot! :). I love your card re velum embossed looks o great! Love thtbou decorated the envelope! I really want the envelope punch how about you?
This is awesome. What a great idea to emboss your vellum. This looks like a great class. How fun that you won a spot.
So cute!!! I'm taking this class to because although I've made cards forever I'm pretty new to stamping and its fun...but I cant seem to get a card made yet. Yours is spectular!!!
Triple A+ on your homework, Leigh! I am taking another class which I wanted to finish first, but seeing all the brilliant homework coming out of SCC2, I may set that aside and get started on SCC2. Either way, I'll be hopelessly behind, but I'll have lots of inspiration for when I do get to it!! TFS!!
What a great card Leigh and I love the embossed vellum in the background. One little boy is going to be very happy with this.
Waaay cool card and envelope, Leigh!
Looks like you are having fun with the Summer Card Camp classes :)
So fun! I need to use these stamps. You make them look so cute!
Fun and colourful card and envie!!
Awesome cards, and so technique-packed too! Love them!
