Celebrate

I have a Celebration card to share with you today. Today is the InKing Royalty Blog Hop with the theme of July 4th. I could not commit to the hop, but had the theme idea in my brain. So I decided to play along anyway.

I started with the new Arrange A Wreath stamp set. I was going to make a patriotic wreath. And I sort of did, it just wasn’t what I intended. My idea wasn’t working so I got the Stitched Stars dies out to make different sizes and colors of stars. When I noticed the large swirl of stars, I knew it would work perfectly. It is sort of a banner across my wreath.

I did add a few extra stars to the wreath to evenly balance it out. I wrapped twine from the Flowers For Every Garden Ribbon Combo Pack. The Celebrate is from the new stamp set Many Mates. It is cut using the Ornate Frames dies. The finishing touch was a few Red Rhinestones to some of the white stars.

One of the good things I did on this was to remember our Stampin’ Up! Adhesive Sheets. I added the adhesive sheet to the Real Red card stock prior to cutting the banner. It makes for very easy adhesion. Otherwise I would have had a glue mess on my hands!

Thank you for stopping by today. It is hard to believe we are mid June already. July is only a few weeks away. I will work on another July 4th card for the actual holiday.

Now is a great time to join my Blue Line Stars Team. During June purchasing the Starter Kit, which is a fabulous deal any time, is an even better Bang For Your Buck. The regular cost of the Starter Kit is $99.00 and you receive $125.00 in products of your choice. For this month, you get to add one of the Bundles listed in the flyer below. It can be a Stamp/Punch Bundle, or a Stamp/Die Bundle. The most expensive one is a value of $60.25. And did I mention that shipping is FREE as well.
