American Crafts Studio Blog: Heat Wave Week

Happy Monday and welcome to another fun week on the AC Studio blog! After being out in the chilly wind this weekend I started looking at flights to beach locations. And while I can't get there right away, at least I can think about tropical temps with the help from one of our newest lines...

Bring on Heat Wave – a bright, sunny collection straight from the oceanfront boardwalk to you! Nothing says summer like bold graphics and lots of sparkle. Heat Wave is a condensed line that includes patterned paper, glitter Thickers, Remarks sticker sheets, Minimarks rub-on sheets, glitter paper and printed chipboard House shapes, Details layered embellishments and Flair.

We have lots of fun Heat Wave projects to share this week, starting with this cool layout from Design Team member Sarah...

Supplies: 12x12 Cardstock Stone (71079) - AC Cardstock, Creamy Coconut Paper (35107) - Heat Wave, Maverick Mango Paper (35111) - Heat Wave, Tangerine Tidal Wave Paper (35113) - Heat Wave, Niki Riki Glitter (53040) - Thickers

Sarah says: "I loved getting to use the Heat Wave line in the winter because it has really made me look forward to Summer! The wave paper worked perfectly with my layout and to add a little color, I cut up the striped paper into flags at the bottom of the page. I also threw in a sticky note that I had that says, "Where I left off," because when it's cold and snowy outside, the beach is where I like to think I left off."

I love how Sarah created her own little banner on the bottom of the page... awesome idea! Stick around for more Heat Wave ideas to warm you up this week!
