Summer has a way of keeping us busy.

Between vacations, family gatherings, celebrations, and everyday life, it can be easy to let the weeks slip by without reaching out to the people who matter most. But sometimes the simplest gestures make the biggest impact—and few things brighten someone’s day like finding a handmade card in their mailbox.

That’s the inspiration behind our new Sunkissed Summer Collection.

Designed to help you create meaningful cards for birthdays, thank-yous, thinking-of-you moments, encouragement, friendship, and everything in between, this release combines coastal-inspired designs with easy-to-use coordinating products that make creating beautiful cards a breeze.

Whether you’re sending a note across the miles or dropping a card in the mailbox for someone nearby, Sunkissed Summer helps you share a little sunshine and remind the people in your life that they’re loved, remembered, and appreciated.

More Ways to Share Sunshine

To celebrate the release, customers who purchase any Sunkissed Summer Bundle will receive the Sketchy Stripes 6×6 Background Stamp FREE!

This versatile background stamp creates casual texture and movement that pairs beautifully with both bundles and works well beyond summer-themed projects. Use it as a traditional striped background or rotate the stamped panel to create unique grid-style patterns and fresh geometric designs.

Promotion valid June 9 at 9 AM CT through June 16 at 9 AM CT, online and in-store while supplies last. Limit one free gift per customer.

TE Creative Team member Jill Hawkins brings bright, cheerful summer energy to her projects with playful color palettes and creative layering. Her first card pairs the Coastal Collage products with the FREE Sketchy Stripes Background Stamp, showing how simple stamped textures can create eye-catching backgrounds full of movement and personality. On her second card, Jill combines vibrant tropical florals, beach-themed die cuts, and layered textures to create a sunny design that practically feels like a summer getaway. Both projects showcase fun ways to personalize cards for the special people in your life.

TE Designer Heather Nichols combines rich color, texture, and thoughtful design details to create projects that feel both artistic and inviting. Her stunning floral arrangement card transforms the Beach Bound florals into a lush tropical bouquet, demonstrating how easily the collection extends beyond traditional beach themes. Heather’s second set of projects showcases playful ways to use the flip-flop dies, from creating a colorful display of summer footwear to designing a clean and simple card with just a few well-placed elements. Her projects highlight the versatility of the collection and the many creative directions crafters can take with these products.

TE Creative Team member Amy Kolling brings her signature clean and graphic style to the Sunkissed Summer Collection. Her first card creates a fun beach scene with layered tropical florals and accessories that feel fresh, bright, and full of personality. Her second card showcases the Coastal Collage products in a more streamlined design, using monochromatic stamping, simple layering, and a dimensional sentiment to create an elegant coastal-inspired greeting. Amy’s projects demonstrate how these products work beautifully for both detailed and clean-and-simple cardmaking styles.

TE Creative Team member Melody Rupple showcases both bundles beautifully with projects that balance bold imagery and thoughtful design. Her Coastal Collage card highlights the collection’s coordinating elements, layering stamped images and die cuts to create a polished collage effect full of seaside charm. On her second card, Melody leans into the Beach Bound Bundle’s scene-building possibilities, creating a cheerful beach tote overflowing with summer essentials. These projects perfectly capture how the collection can be used to create cards that feel personal, playful, and full of sunshine.

TE Designer Lori Craig demonstrates the versatility of the Coastal Collage Bundle with two distinctly different card styles. Her birthday card features elegant layering and bright tropical florals against a subtle collage-inspired background, creating a polished design that’s perfect for summer celebrations. Her second card combines stamped imagery with layered die cuts and soft color choices to create a breezy coastal look full of charm. Lori’s projects show how easy it is to mix detailed focal points with clean layouts for cards that feel thoughtful and sophisticated.

TE Designer Mindy Eggen embraces bright color and playful summer details with two eye-catching designs. Her beach tote card is packed with tropical accessories, layered die cuts, and cheerful color combinations that instantly evoke memories of sunny summer days. For her second project, Mindy demonstrates how even the smallest die-cut elements can shine by arranging colorful shells, sand dollars, and starfish into a clean and modern card design. Her projects highlight the versatility of the Beach Bound Bundle and the endless opportunities for creative customization.

TE Designer Deby Bauer embraces bold color and creative storytelling in her vibrant summer projects. Her first card captures the beauty of a sunny beach day with layered waves, a glowing sunset, and tropical accents surrounding a cheerful beach tote focal point. Her second design takes a playful approach to the Coastal Collage images, transforming them into miniature postcard-style elements tucked into a pocket layout. Deby’s cards showcase the versatility of the collection and offer plenty of inspiration for creating cards that celebrate summer memories and meaningful connections.
