Celebrating the 4th of July!!

 

Good morning and thanks for taking a few minutes to stop by my blog.  Today I am over creating and stampin' for Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration.  We are sharing projects to celebrate the 4th of July. 

 

I don't create to many cards for this special day, but try to keep in mind that somewhere there is someone who celebrates and shares this special day for the USA with their Birthday.  This card is for all of you who do.  I used colors of cherry cobbler, whisper white and night of navy.  I love how the gold twine adds such a lovely detail to the stripes and makes them pop.

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock ~ cherry cobbler, whisper white, night of navy

Ink ~ night of navy, crumb cake for some distressing

Stamp set ~ Be a Star

Misc. ~ star framelit set, mini star punch, star embossing folder, gold bakers twine, night of navy blendabilities, basic rhinestones

 

I hope you have enjoyed my 4th of July celebration card.  Leave some "love" and go visit our other design team members to get inkspired.

A Birthday Star at #FabFri53

Good morning!  Thanks for stopping by and visiting me here at Ink a Doodle Creations.  Today is a special day here in the Richards household.  Today is my oldest sons #15th Birthday!!!  Man oh man, where has the time gone.  It seems just like yesterday I was sending him off the kindergarten for the first time, now I'm sending him off to the 9th grade in High School.  Its just crazy!

Todays card is for the sketch challenge over at Fab Friday.  It was perfect for what I had in mind for his Birthday card.  On a fun note, you wouldn't think a kid, and a boy at that would care about getting a handmade card, but he keeps everyone I make him for any occasion.  Kinda makes me smile:)

 

Supplies Used

Cardstock ~ basic gray, whisper white, Bermuda bay, crushed curry

Ink ~ basic gray, tangelo twist, Bermuda bay

Stamp sets ~ be the star, endless birthday wishes photopolymer set, gorgeous grunge

Misc. ~ star framelit set, bright and regal candy dots, clear window sheets

DSP ~ confetti celebration

Celebrating the USA with a Star!

 

Good morning!  Its Friday, Friday, Friday and its 4th of July, so Happy Birthday USA!!  Today I am over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration and we are sharing projects to help celebrate this special day!  Like many, I will be celebrating with yummy food, visiting with family and friends and ending the day with some nighttime fireworks!!

 

My card today is a special 3-D Triangle Star Card.  A little tricky yes, but the end results was so worth it.  My inspiration came from a card I saw in Pinterest.  Click HERE for directions.  I will admit, they were a little difficult to follow and I just had to wing it, but it turned out a ok!

 

I don't really have any patriotic DSP, so I used the closest I had, Martime.  The coastal cabana sheet is perfect with the little stars.  I also used real red and night of navy.

 

On the inside, I used stamped in night of navy the smallest star in the Be a Star stamp set and cut them out using the matching star framelit set.

 

The outside has a simple star in real red with a night of navy one behind it.  I stamped "happy birthday" in coastal cabana and cut it out with a banner tail on each end and layered on top the star.  Some added bling, and my 4th of July celebration card is done.
