Patriotic Flip Flops

Hello and Happy 4th of July! Today I have some patriotic flip flops to share…inspired by a pair of flip flops I actually own.

I die cut the flip flops from white cardstock and then inked up the blue one with Vegas Strip ink. I used a stripe stencil from my stash to ink on the red stripes with Telephone Box ink. I used these same colors to ink up the straps.

Then I used a mini star stencil from my stash to add embossing paste on the blue flip flop. I set this aside to fully dry.

To assemble the card, I used a background paper from Honeybee stamps. I layered 3 sets of straps per flip flop and attached them with liquid adhesive.

Of course I had to add a gemstone! Then I stamped the sentiment with the same blue ink and die cut with matching dies.

American Gnome

Hello! Today I have a quick card sharing the June Hedgehog Hollow kit products. This month is full of fun Patriotic themes: 2 stamp sets, 3 stencils, 1 pack of Americana ephemera, and 1 pack of papers! Of course, I had to start off with my favorite stamp and stencil to create this card:

I love that flag stencil! I used Telephone Box ink for the red stripes, and Vegas Strip ink for the blue part. Then I added the white stars using embossing paste.

While that was drying, I stamped the gnomes in the same blue Vegas Strip ink and added spots of color with Copic Markers.

That sentiment is perfect for this card! I fussy cut the gnomes and popped them up with foam tape. The entire panel is matted with black cardstock. Isn’t this a fun card!?

Happy 4th of July!

Just popping by to wish you a happy 4th of July! Here’s a cute image from Jessica Lynn Originals that I really enjoyed coloring for this day:

This is a digital image that I printed on Neenah solar white and colored up with Copics. I added some distress inks around the edges for the night sky and some star sequins. Hope you enjoyed!

Happy Patriotic card

Hello! Today I’m stopping by real quick to share with you a Happy Patriotic card. Can you believe I don’t have a single STAR die or stencil in my stash?! So here I used polka dots and colored up a beautiful red flower from Gina K. Designs.

I added a bit of vellum on the inside rectangle to calm those polka dots!

A very Happy 4th of July to all my friends in the USA. I’ll be back tomorrow with a fun, summery card!

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July to all my friends in America! It is a beautiful day to celebrate and today my little Paper Smooches monster wanted to get in on the fun. So this card was born:

I used my distress inks and distress markers to watercolor. You may not be able to tell in this picture, but there are embossed stars behind that little monster. Isn’t he cute?

Joining up with the Paper Smooches challenge.
