Being that it is Independence Day here in the USA, I will share a red, white and blue card with you use the beautiful Patriotic Bow die from Cheapo Dies. 

 

 

 

 

 

The bow was die cut twice using blue and red cardstock.  The star section of the blue die cut was cut out and glittered using glitter from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  I drew around the bow and fussy cut it out using white sparkle cardstock to create a background layer.

 
 Different pieces of cardstock were cut on a diagonal and place on the top of the card base to create the background layer.  To finish off the card small drops of White, Autumn Red and Midnight Blue Crystal Drops from Nuvo.

4th of July

Good morning all, hope your day is off to a great start!!!  Today I am sharing a layout with you using the new digi Proudly Patriotic stamp set, along with some pretty heat embossed stars.  Come along as I show you have this came together.  

To get started on my stars for this layout I cut different size stars using my Silhouette.  Next I used this tutorial to create the embossed enamel look.  The stars were inked using versamark , Silver Bells, Holiday Blue, Sapphire,  and Red Apple embossing powders were sprinkled on top of the stars.  After they were heated using the parchment paper, I was not quite happy with the results, so I inked again with versamark, covered with Clear embossing powder and heat set again.  Once this was dry the stars had a pretty shine to them from the Clear powder.  I loved the look!!  I hope you will give this a try it is really a pretty look for your cards or layouts.

Next I used the Large Nuvo Glue Pen around the edges and glittered using Sassy Silver glitter.  

Strips of 3/4" Tear-ific Tape was placed on top of a strip of cardstock, the protective backing was removed  and a 1/4" strip of Tear-ifc Tape was placed in the middle.  The strip was then covered with Princess Anna Royal.  The protective backing was removed from the smaller strip of tape and covered with Sassy Silver glitter.  For the second strip the step were repeated using Fire Engine Red, and Sassy Silver glitter.

Next the flag image was enlarged and printed using the color set.  I then fussy cut the flag out and inked using versamark.  The flag was covered with Velvet Sparkle embossing powder and heat set.  The flag was placed on the layout using foam tape.

Sassy Silver glitter and the Large Nuvo Glue Pen were used on the smaller stars.   For the medium stars they were cut from sticker paper and glittered using Princess Anna Royal, Fire Engine Red and Sassy Silver glitter.  Small drops of White Crystal Drops were placed in the centers.   Small strips of washi tape was placed on the top right corner.

Thanks so much for stopping by, hope you have enjoyed my layout.  Be sure to hop over to the Sparkle N Sprinkle store to see all of the new stamp sets including digi sets!!  

Have a great rest of the week and remember......Keep Stamping!!

Patriotic Layout

 

Good morning all, hope you are enjoying your day!!  Today I would like to share a layout with you using the new Patriotic Girlfriends stamp set from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  For this project I did you the digi set and enlarged them to fit my project.  Let's get started on the project.

 

 

As you can see the images are quite large that is the fun part of using digi.  Let me share a card using the actual rubber stamp so that you can see the difference.

 

 

You can really get creative with digi stamps and make then fit any project whether big or small.

 

 

To start the background layers for my layout, I embossed a piece of white cardstock with a Cuttlebug stars embossing folder.  The raised areas of the stars were covered with Nuvo Cornflower Blue Mousse.  This mousse is so pretty and shimmery!!

 

Next the fireworks were cut using svg files and my Silhouette.  They were cut from cardstock as well as sticker paper and glittered using Fire Engine Red, Colbalt Glaze, and Sassy Silver.  Small drops of Autumn Red Crystal Drops were placed in the center as well as on the star background layer. Small drops of the Autumn Red, Navy Blue and White Crystal Drops were used on the grey panel. 

 



The America title was also enlarged and printed using the color version of the stamp set.  It was cut out using my Silhouette and placed on the layout using foam dots.



 

Here you see these cute gals all ready for a parade, as were my grandchildren in the photos!!  They were enlarged, printed using the color version of the digi stamp and cut out using the Silhouette.  Sparkle was added to them using Nuvo Small Glue Pen and Sparkling Snow glitter.  They were placed on the layout using foam tape. 

 

As you can see digi stamps are so versatile in that they can be sized to fit any project.  You can print either the color version are the black and white and color yourself.  Be sure to hop on over to Sparkle N Sprinkle to see all of the digi stamp sets!!

Hope you all are having a fun time on the blog hop!!  There are so many amazing stamp sets this month, as well as the digi pack.  I have loved playing with many of them this month.  For this month's reveal I chose the Patriotic Girls stamp set and a starburst background.  Come along and let me show you how it was created.

To start the background I used left over papers and cut them in 1" and 2" strips.  You will cut them in a diagonal. Once the strips are cut I layered them on top of sticker paper, starting in the middle.

Continue layering around the sticker paper.  Once you have completed the background, you will cut off any excess paper.

Once all the strip have been cut cover the remain sticky parts with Sparkling Snow glitter.  You can find a tutorial HERE on this technique.

Next I stamped the image with black ink colored with copic makers and added glitter using Nuvo's Small Glue Pen and Sparkling Snow glitter.  They were then fussy cut out and were layered on top of a circle die cut using Spellbinders Circle dies.

The edge of the blue and red cardstock were lined with 1/8" Tear-ific Tape the protective backing was removed and glittered using Fire Engine Red and Denim glitters.

The sentiment was stamped using the Patriotic Icons stamp set along with versamark and embossed with White Detail EP.  I really loved how this turned out.  I have also completed a scrapbook layout using the digi version of this stamp set.  I will leave you with a sneak peek of it.  I would love for you to stop back by to see the complete project!

Thanks so much for stopping by have fun on the blog next stop is the very talented ANNE!!
