Hi, crafty friends! I’m back with another card from the new release at Purple Onion Designs, this time featuring stamps from the Lakewood collection from Holly Mabutas. This collection consists of 24 stamps that give off the perfect, relaxing summer vibes.

I fit a lot of images into this scene. Riley, Oliver & Boo go float tubing, Morris floats, Max chilling & floating, Pier and Boat House. I was a little strategic and stamped most of these images far enough apart that I didn’t need to do a ton of masking. I really only needed masks for the guys walking on the pier.

I colored in my scene with Copics, opting for very vibrant colors for all the floating elements and the details on the boat house, while keeping the rest fairly muted. The lake is lighter the further back you get, and the sky is a bit moody off in the distance. I added a bit of black glaze pen to the eyes of the gang on the pier for a little bit of dimension and shine.

I stamped a sentiment from the Summer Days sentiment set (which is also new, btw) using Cornflower ink from My Favorite Things.

I adhered the panel to a card base that measures 6 1/8″ x 4 1/4″. This is an irregular size for a card, but when I create scenes like this, I let the scene dictate the size of the card. I can always make a custom envelope to fit.

I used lots of Copics for this one.

For a limited time, this entire collection is available as a bundle. This bundled set is discounted over 30% off the regular prices and is available for a limited time.  The bundled promotion ends on Thursday, July 10, 2025.
