You’re Going to Want These Summer Card Ideas 🌊

If your craft desk is already daydreaming about sunshine and sea breezes, you’re in good company—the Trinity Stamps Creative Team is ready for summer, and it shows in every detail.

First up, Sandy Cogdill is diving in with a project that feels like a mini seaside escape. In her latest video tutorial, she creates a charming round shaker card featuring an adorable mer-gnome from the Gnomies Under the Sea stamp set. Paired with the Circle-Shaped Card Die and the Sunshine Die set, and filled with Electric Parade Confetti, this design has that playful movement shaker lovers adore, with a fresh, summery twist.

And truly—Sandy’s coloring is the star of the show. Her soft blends, glowing highlights, and thoughtful details bring this little ocean scene to life in a way that’s both inspiring and totally achievable. If you’ve been wanting to stretch your coloring skills just a bit, you’ll pick up some gems here.

Shaker cards don’t have to feel fussy, either. Sandy walks through each step in a way that feels relaxed and doable, so you can jump in with confidence and enjoy the process.

Creative Team Member Cassie Trask is bringing all the bright, beachy vibes with a card that feels like a warm afternoon by the shore. Using the Summer Gnome Fun Stamp Set with Coordinating Dies and the Undersea Adventure Layering Stencil Set, she builds a bold, sunlit background with playful dimension—complete with a lounging gnome front and center and a sentiment that reads, “Gnome One is Cooler Than You.” The layered rays, sandy details, and scattered Glacier Iridescent Pearl Confetti give this design a fun, finished look without feeling overworked.

Bonus: her video tutorial (click HERE to watch) also gives you a peek at the Clingy Craftmate tool in action—a new favorite among Trinity fans for keeping those small pieces right where you need them!

This month’s free-with-$50+ set—the “Hipster” stamp & die set—brings a fun, quirky twist to your crafting lineup. Jenn Gross shows it off with a bold, sunny card and the playful sentiment, “Don’t worry, be hippy.”
