Ah, summer is drawing to a close, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to squeeze a little bit more from my favorite season. When the temps are a steady 100+ here in Arizona, it’s not so hard to do.
How about something cool and refreshing?
It’s funny, the only time of year I crave mint chip ice cream is during the hottest part of summer. But, forget the ice cream part, how about that color? Cool mintilicious mint: pretty much the hottest color on trend right now.
Who wouldn’t use this delightful color for a summer wedding?
And, I don’t know about you, but this paint color just jumped to the top of my list. I think inspiration would come pretty easily in this craft space, don’t you?
Well, I don’t have a mint green studio, but I am jazzed about using the color for crafting. There aren’t a ton of mint products out there (yet), but here are some creative ideas for you.
Stamp a little mint green goodness on your next card. I kind of like the quirkiness of a mint woodgrain.
How about some modern mint? I used Green Bubble Light Glimmer Mist for a splatter background, and then mixed green and blue acrylic paint to come up with mint for my letters.
And this card pretty much sums up my passion for mint; the Dear Lizzy Neopolitan paper, the sweet ribbon and yes, the ice cream, too.

Have a “cool” rest of the summer.

We sure need something to cool us off here in AZ. Love your cards. The mint green woodgrain was inspirational.
This was just the inspiration I needed to get in my craft room today – thanks!
one of my favorite colors! …and flavors!
Thanks for opening my eyes to this color again. I would normally skip right over it, but I think today I’ll try using it!
Love the cards and you use my color mint green. You gave me some good ideal
Love the “Hi” card. It is so simple and fun.
I totally agree, the minty color is tops on my list too!! I’ve always loved it
Beautiful! All 3 of course! The 2nd packs a punch! The paint splatter reminds me of melted ice cream!
I love the mint! I just need the right color ink for it! Sigh, one day I will find it!
