Red, White, Blue and Stars

Happy Friday evening my crafty friends. I decided that I needed some craft time since my card class was canceled this evening.

My husband and I are having a cook out on Sunday and invited his Dad. So I decided to decorate the house a little with it being the Fourth of July weekend.

Fantaulous Cricut Challenge ME Monday #65 - use red, white, and blue in your project.

My Craft Spot Challenge #14 - use a star on your project.

I thought my little banner sign fit the above challenges well. What do you think? Sorry for the bad pictures. I tried to do a few close ups so that you could see more of the details.

Recipe:
All paper came from my scraps.

Perfect pearls in gold used to spritz the stars and banners. I took a Mini Mister bottle and added some of the perfect pearls to the bottle then I filled the bottle with some water and shook it up. Ta Da my own spritzer in gold pearl.

Carts used:
Plantin school bk - Stars cut at 2". Letters cut at 2 1/2" using shadow feature.

Country Life - Banners cut at 4 1/2"

Wire and ribbon from my stash - not sure what the size is. I cut the wire then wrapped it around a paint brush for the handles. I fee styled the wire on the stars.

I used my crop-a-dile to punch holes in the stars and banners then I added the grommets to the stars.

I used SU red and blue ink to dab on the banners and ink around the edges of the white stars.

Hope you all have a safe and wonderful Independence Day and weekend.

Easter Card for my Friend

Easter is not that far away! Wow time flies when you get a little older. My Mother always told me that and I used to roll my eyes at her but now I will have to admit she was right. So to get to the point, I needed to make a card for my friend and her little boy. I really made it for her little boy but I know the Disney lovers out there will appreciate this one and my humor.

Here are the details:
Woody was cut at 4 1/2" and the sentiment and boot at 2" using the Toy Story cart. The word Egg was cut from Plantin School Book at 1 3/4". All paper used for Woody, sentiment and the boot were from my scraps.

Background and border from Sassafrass paper pack.
Twine from my stash.
Egg stamp - Studio g
Martha Stewart glitter marker

Thanks for stopping by.

Fabulous Friday Bling Challenge

This card is for the Fabulous Friday Bling Challenge at Frosted Designs

Here’s my recipe:
I stared off with DCWV cardstock from dots, stripes & plaid pack as my card. I used Tim Holtz antique linen Distress Ink to add a little softness to my card.

I used the Live Simply to cut my hedgehog at 2” then I assembled him and ran him through my Big Shot using the Swiss dots cuddlebug folder. I colored the dots with a Marvy marker and added black bling from Queen & Co. to his eyes and nose. I used some foam tape to pop him just slightly above everything else.

I cut the flowers from the same cart at 3” and 2” using cardstock from DCWV glitter mat stack and The Paper Company in pink, green, and blue. I assembled my flowers and added bling from Queen & Co. I used Marvy markers to add dots and Hampton Art dye ink.

I cut the grass from Plantin School book cart at 2” then I put it through the SU Top Note die horizontally and then ran it through again using the Swiss dots folder. I cut one complete SU Top Note from DCWV Summer Dream stack. I assembled the grass on to the top note leaving glue off of the blades of grass on the section I stuck the flower behind.

I cut a tag from Twinkle Toes Lite Cart at 1 ¼” and stamped the sentiment from Hampton Arts Foot Longs warm fuzzies clear stamp set. I used flocked flower brads from my stash to hold the tag in place. The green and white checked ribbon was also used from stash.

Hope you like it as much as I do.
