Happy 4th of July- US Independence Day

Happy 4th of July to all my blogger friends. 

 Hope your having fun celebrate our country's independence. Don't forget it's not just about grilling and fireworks.  Remember God has blessed the USA and made it great we should not take our liberty and freedoms lightly. 

Today I want to share a shaker card I made using the Number of Years stamp set.

I also used red foil sheet, silver glimmer paper and the new In-Colors DSP in Dapper Denim.

The "happy" and the '4' were cut out using the Number of Years framelits and the Hello You thinlits.

 I also used the layering circles dies.

Inside the shaker card I used the metallic sequins. 

The new foam strips made assembling this shaker easy peasy.

You can find all these items in the 2016-2017 Annual catalog.

Hope you have a safe and fun holiday.

Bye Bye for Now,

PATRIOTIC CARD

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

Hope everyone is enjoying their day. 

To celebrate Independence Day I have made this card. 

I used the sketch from Die Cuttin Diva's and the inspiration photo from Pink Elephant. Simon Says Stamp and Bitten By the Bug 2  challenges this week are red, white and blue and a patriotic theme. Needless to say I am entering this card into these challenges.

To make this card I used my Rosettes and Ribbons Cricut cartridge. I cut the rosette at 1.5". The paper I used is open cardstock from Joann's.  The red and white striped paper is from Echo Park "Dots and Strips". I used red corragated paper from Coredinations in the middle of the rosette and for my large strips. I color washed them with white paint.  The USA are Thickers glitter blue stickers. I outlined the label in red Stickles.

The red, white and blue beads are from Wal Mart. I strung them on red hemp. The white star is a brad. I made this card so it opens on the side. I rounded the corners with my EK Success corner punch. 

I think my card is very patriotic and celebrates the 4th of July perfectly.

Join me in the above challenges and Good Luck.

Bye, Bye for Now

CHALLENGE #167 at FCCB

4th of July Cricut Crawl Challenge # 167 Red White and Blue

Welcome to Kim Kreation's and the 4th of July Fantabulous Cricut Crawl - Fantabulous Cricut's version of a Blog Hop!!

In honor of the 4th of July holiday, we're having a Red, White and Blue Crawl.  Each Design Team member has created a fabulous project using Red, White and Blue as the main colors, and of course at least one Cricut cut!

If you've come from JoNeita at Create with Joneita, you're in the right place!  If you've just happened across my blog and would like to see all the fabulous Design Team creations head on over to Fantabulous Cricut HERE  to start at the beginning.

Make sure to check out each DT member's blog!  There will be Blog Candy along the way at some of our DT members' blogs, and there will be a Grand Prize up for grabs at FCCB for one participant who submits a "Red White and Blue" project at FCCB!

Here is my project.

 I love my country and am very patriotic. The card I made is to celebrate Independence Day.

I used Storybook cartridge to cut out the four in blue. The shadow feature was used to cut silver paper from DCWV Metallic Stack.  For the center I cut a piece of white cardstock 3 x 5 1/2".  This left a 1/2" border on both sides of the silver A2 card base.  I then cut the blue and punched stars. The red and white strips are 1" wide . I put glue on the white base and alternated the strips.  When they where all stuck down I trimmed the overhang.  I attached it to the card and then glued the strips of ribbon on each side.  The four is pop dotted and so is the banner, which is cut and embossed using a Spellbinders die.  Using a silver glitter pen I wrote Independence Day and July 2013. The blue glitter star is from a sticker pack.  I also used the silver glitter pen to do the faux stitching.

Your next stop is LB at Cool Beans By LB.  Make sure to visit all the stops along the way and when you get done, make sure you link up your project to FCCB's Fantabulous Cricut Crawl post!!

Happy Birthday Card

Hi everyone.  I have been working on a Birthday card to participate in the following challenges.

My Creative Time Designer Challenge- bling it up 

 Die Cuttin Diva's -Birthday card using 3 embellishments
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes

Here is my card

I used Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge to cut the frame at 3".  I then embossed Happy Birthday in the center on the striped blue paper. The paper I used is the Luxury stack from DCWV.  The edge scalloped punch I used is Martha Stewart.  The flower and bling are from Prima. I love the little pink resin flowers and pearls.  Around the frame I used liquid pearls in cream.  Some ribbon and lace finished it off.  

Well  I think I meet the above challenge requierments.

By the way be sure and join us on Monday July 1st for the Fantabulous Cricut Crawl.  The theme will be red white and blue.  The Design team, returning members and new member's will have plenty of inspiration for you so make a project and play along.

Bye, bye for Now
