Proudly May She Wave

Good morning everyone hope you are having a blessed week!!  This morning I would like to share with you a card using both rubber and digi stamp set Proudly Patriotic from Sparkle N Sprinkle.  To create the base for my card I layered blue and white cardstock.  On the card base layer 1/2" Tear-ific Tape was placed along the edges and glittered using Fire Engine Red glitter.  Next the image was printed using the color version of the stamp set and printed a 2nd time to be fussy cut out.

Sparkle was added to my image using the Nuvo Small Glue Pen, Fire Engine Red, Sparkling Snow, Sassy Silver and Golden Silver glitter. Ruby Slipper, Dazzling Blue, and Silver Moondust Glitter Drops were placed on the fireworks.  A drop of Honey Gold Crystal Drops was placed at the top of the flag pole.  The fussy cut flag was placed on top of the main image using foam dots.

Next the sentiment was stamped on the card using the rubber stamp.

Drops of Dazzling Blue Glitter Drops were placed under the sentiment.  

This card just says Happy 4th of July!! I will be using this for my Memorial Day and 4th of July cards!!

Be sure to stop over at the New Sparkle N Sprinkle store to see all the new stamp sets and new products!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a wonderful day and remember.....Keep Stamping!!!

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!!

Are you having fun yet??  There are so many beautiful stamps this month that it was hard to pick one favorite, but I decided on the Proudly Patriotic set for some 4th of July fun.  Come along and let me show you have it was created!!  First I needed to create my background and choose to dry and heat emboss my background paper.  Using a Cuttlebug embossing folder the white cardstock was embossed, while the cardstock was still on the embossing folder I inked the raised areas using a brayer and versamark ink.  The fireworks were then covered using Golden Sparkle, Firecracker Red, Silver Lightening and Cerulean Star embossing powders.  The powders were then heat set.  Wow I really loved how pretty this turned out.  You can find a tutorial Here on how to create this look!

 Small drops of Honey Gold Glitter Drops, Dazzling Blue Glitter Drops,  Ruby Slipper Glitter Drops and Navy Blue Crystal Drops were added.

Here is a closer look at the pretty background.  Around the outer layer sparkle was added using 1/2" Tear-ific Tape and Sassy Silver glitter.  The step was repeated using 1/4" Tear-ific Tape  for the inner layer with the Princess Anna Royal used for the sparkle.  

The image was stamped and colored using copic markers.  Fussy cut out and glittered using the Nuvo Small Glue Pen, Sparkling Snow and Sassy Silver glitter. The flag was placed on the background paper using foam tape. The sentiment was stamped with red ink and glitterd by tracing over the letter with the small glue pen, glittering with Fire Engine Red and Princess Anna Royal glitter.  It was then fussy cut around placed on top of the flag with foam dots.  a small red pull ribbon was placed behind the sentiment.

The stars were all die cut using a Sizzix's die glittered using Fire Engine Red, Princess Anna Royal, and Sparkling Snow glitter.  They were placed on the card using foam dots.  Small drops of White Crystal Drops were added to the centers.  

I really loved how this turned out can't wait to make this for my 4th of July cards this year!!  I have also created a scrapbook layout using this digi set and I will leave you with a sneak peek of it.  Be sure to stop back by to see the finished layout.

Have fun on the hop your next stop is the Corner Garden surprise !!

Thanks for stopping by have fun!!
