BSS MONDAY IDEA - 4TH OF JULY

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Monday Idea.

Today's idea is to make some un-traditional 4th of July cards.

After all, it is a celebration holiday, so let's have some fun.

I love this stamp, I have used it for just about every holiday!

Here is the finished card.

Stamp - Impression Obsession (G2332)

Inside sentiment - Jillian Vance Design, Let Freedom Ring (2011-014)

Spellbinder's die Adorning Squares (S4-389)

Paper - Red White and Blue card stock

Embossing Folders - Sizzix, Tim Holtz Alterations

4th of July set, including star border

Cuttlebug Stars folder

Colored with Copics

Added small punched starts to the round candy balls and white sparkly glitter.

Added Glossy Accents to the Rock Candy

Red and White baker's twine bow

Stamp - Stamping Bella Flora Cyclist (EB120)

Spellbinder's Grand Large Labels

Paper red and white card stock.

Colored Prisma Colored pencils and Copics

Star Dust Stickles on white ruffles

Sentiment - Jillian Vance Design, Let Freedom Ring (2011-014)

White and blue ribbon tie, from my stash

Clouds were made using a torn paper towel and sponging dye ink

from the paper towel edge to the card. Move the strip of paper torn paper towel

so the pattern isn't the same on each row of clouds.

Hope you have a fantastic 4th of July with friends and family.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.  Until later..............

 

LAZY SUMMER DAYS

It's HUMP day!  When I worked, we used to say we could see the weekend from here!

Today's card is for the challenge at Sassy Cheryl's, #172 Bling/Sun or both.

 

Awww, right?

 

 

 

I colored the digi with copics and fussy cut them out.

The grass die is cut from paper from Reflections (Michaels)

The sun stamp is old, from Stampendous.  The sentiment stamp is

PrintWorks.  The branch is a punch from Stampin Up and the birds are from

a punch by Martha Stewart.  The base card (clouds) is from my local stamp

store and I have had it for awhile, no name on it, sorry.  I added Yellow Stickles

to the sun.

 

Hope you have a great Wednesday.  Thanks for stopping by today. Until later.......

Used the darling Cheery digi.

Papers are DCWV

BSS MONDAY IDEA - GRADUATION

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Monday Idea.

Today's idea is a couple of Graduation card ideas.

This first one is a card and gift pocket on the back.

This is a basic Spring Card.

Dawn Griffin has a wonderful supply list and video on how to

make this card, except I changed it up to make the front a Graduation

cap. Black and white paper and a couple of Graduation Stamps and a tassel

is all you need to make this card. Folds flat for mailing and pops up

when removed from the envelope. Front sentiment Inkadinkado (95060K)

And on the back, there's a pocket to hold cash or a gift card.

Sentiment on the back Hero Arts (F1171)

Another simple card to make, just like the layout and simplicity.

I used Navy Blue (but you could use any school colors) and

POM silver glitter paper, love this stuff, it's super sparkly and

thin, so it doesn't add bulk. Just a few simple layers, but

pretty elegant, I think. The sentiment on the front is

Wordsworth (s345K)

Thanks for stopping by today. Until later..............
