4th of July Cards

In the spirit of 4th of July, I thought I would share some of the 4th of July cards I have in my "card file".  As you can see, even if they are red, white and blue... it doesn't mean it has to be a 4th of July card, it can be a birthday card!  Hope these inspire you.

Technique Tuesday: Marble Background

This technique looks so cool... it actually looks like marble.   Where do we come up with this stuff?  I don't know, but I like it..  This would be nice for the background on a "masculine" card.

June Stamping Class Giveaway: Nail File Holder

For my June Stamping Class, this is what the girls received as their free giveaway.  I got these small nail files at Walmart (2 per pack).

Details:  Cut solid card stock 9" x 3" and score on the long side at: 1" and 4 1/4".  Cut DSP paper piece 2 1/2" x 2 3/4".  Use corner round punch on flap and on top of nail file holder.  Thank You is from the Stampin' Up! stamp set Itty Bitty Banners.

Stamping With Scraps & Color Combo Challenge: Eastern Elegance DSP

I made this card for my Color Combo Challenge series, but I realized it can also be a card for my Stamping with Scraps series.  I used the Blossom Petals Builder punch to create the tops of the candles.

Fun Flowers Box: Stampin' Up! Island Indigo

Started playing around with a basket for a centerpiece and ended up with this box.  I used Island Indigo card stock and Watercolor Wonder DSP.
