Happy 4th of JULY!

Hello Stampers!

I want to wish everyone a Happy Independence Day!  A Beautiful Day it is!

Here is my Patriotic project share for today!

I used the Love What You Do photopolymer stamp.

I was not sure which 'painted dot' I liked better so I created a card for both.  Which do you like better? 

Card Stock and ink: Real Red, Pacific Point along with Whisper White Cardstock and Black Memento Ink.

For the white I added Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, you can never have too much sparkle!

It's a beautiful day~ Happy Independence Day America!

Hello Stampers!
Happy Independence Day America! 
I was having so much fun with my Coffee Cup Framelits I had to create a card for the 4th of July!

Everytime I go to grab me a coffee at our little coffee cafe' they put some kind of sweet treat on it, this time they had red, white and blue M&M's!  I loved it, so it put me in the mood to create something patriotic with the Coffee Cafe' stamp and Framelits!

I used the new BEAUTIFUL In-Colors, Blueberry Bushel and Lovely Lipstick!  Aren't they gorgeous? 

I used matching DSP 6x6" stack.  I love this paper, so pretty and the designs are so fresh and fun!  The sentiment is from the Love What you Do stamp set.

I used Wink of Stella to add some pretty sparkle to the whipped topping and the grip of the cup.  The smaller cup I popped up on dimensionals to make it stand out a little bit more. 
The Blueberry Bushel card stock was also ran through the Big Shot using the Oh My Stars Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

I love how this card turned out!  Now, it's time to go me a Latte'!  Happy day my friends!

Enjoying some summer time!

Hello Stampers!
Happy Monday to you.  Can you believe it is July already?  WOW!  Our summer is flying by!

Two great sets were used to create this 'enjoying summer' card!

Pocket of Sunshine and Pocket Framelits, along with one of my favorite Framelits, Coffee Cups Framelits.

The glasses were heat embossed with Gold embossing powder, along with the sentiment.
I love my ice Coffee in the summer and of course wearing my shades! 

Happy July to you!!

A Bloomin' 4th of July!

Hello Stampers!

I want to wish you a wonderful 4th of July celebration today!  Here is my patriotic project share for today!

I used the fun-tastic Sunshine Wishes Thinlits to create this star spangled flower.
Along with Silver Foil Sheets, Red and Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper and Night of Navy card stock.

To adhere the flowers, I cut them out and used the new Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets #144106, Oh....My....Gosh, these are a LIFE SAVER!  Peel and stick...can you say simple to use?  Love these!

Also embossed the Thick Whisper White Card Stock with Stars and stamped I love America!  Sentiment from a retired Stampin' Up set.

Happy Memorial Day~Wild and Free

Hello Stampers!
Happy Memorial Day.
When I think of all the soldiers who have fought for our freedom somehow watching wild horses run free came to mind.  So I dug out my horse stamp set and created this card.

I stamped a clear block size "I" in Real Red and stamped on the top of a Whisper White Thick card stock then turned it around and stamped in Pacific Point.  To make the Red, White and Blue.

Then stamped the wild horses in Memento Black ink.
The card base Woodgrain was stamped with Chocolate Chip and then later I decided to color it with Colored Pencil.  A small piece of Linen Thread wrapped makes a great horse rope!

4th of July Candy holders

Hello Stampers!
Can you believe it's 4th of July weekend already?  Yikes!!  Our summer is flying by!

I wanted to make some simple little candy hand outs for friends on the 4th.  I remembered the nugget holder I made into a bunny and thought that would work out well.

If you don't remember the instructions here they are again.

First you will need a strip of card stock, I used Night of Navy cut to 1 1/2" x 5"

 Scored at 2 and 3 inches.

Fold up and the cut a piece of card stock for the front.  I also used Real Red, Silver Glimmer paper and Night of Navy to punch out stars to decorate the front.  After punching a hole with a 1/4" hole punch I tied it shut with ribbon I found at Michael's craft store.

After closing it up I put two mini candy bars, but you can also use Hershey's Nuggets.

Hope your Independence day is a great celebration.

Hope you have a Bomb Pop 4th of July!

Hello my crafting friends!

The 4th of July is sneaking up on me!  Rather you head out to the lake to have some fun camping and fishing or head to be the beach, we're all out having some fun and celebrating our Independence!

I don't know if it's because it's so hot outside or I just wanted to make a 'Bomb Pop'  but this is the 1st thing I thought of for my 4th of July card.  LOL   I also wanted to use my stamp set I found at Michael's  I have used this set before, I really like the swirls in this set.

Plus, it's a photopolymer!

To hold the Real Red and Pacific Point card stock and Glimmer Paper, (all cut at 1 1/2 x 1 inch) I taped the back to keep it from slipping around when I stick to the Whisper White card stock that I stamped a swirl in Real Red.  Before I stuck it for good, I put a small scrap of Crumb Cake for a stick.

The sentiment is from a retired SU set.  I think it's time to go to the store and pick some up, yum!!

Thank you for joining me today!

Paper Pumpkin for May~

Hello Stampers!
I wanted to share the Paper Pumpkin kit from May.  There are so many fun ideas on the internet!

 It was a really nice kit!

These are some samples I made with their layouts.

I liked the stamp set so just added some DSP to the pre-cut die cut card stock.  I also added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter around the DSP boarder.  I love how it dresses up the cards.

Finally I wanted to get a head start on some 4th of July cards!

Thank you for joining me today!
Happy Weekend!
