Oh Say Can You See Blog Hop

Welcome to the Scrapbook News and Reviews "Oh Say Can You See 4th of July Blog Hop". If you came from Lauri Ingram's blog Paperville , you are on the right track! If you didn't please hop to SNR/Card universe and begin the fun. We have almost 100 blogs lined up for this 4th of July blog hop! Here is the card I made just for this Blog Hop:


For this card I started with my image stamped in SU! Pacific Blue ink on white card stock. Then I inked the edges with red ink and matted it on blue card stock then used my gold marker to ink the edges. Next I matted that on red card stock. Then I took my SU! Sweet Stars wheel and stamped that in Riding Hood Red ink on white card stock. I then inked that with blue and matted it on red card stock. Net I cut a piece of blue card stock to 4" x 5 1/4" and used my gold marker to ink the edges of that piece. Then I glued down my matted pieces on the blue card stock. I then wrapped a piece of thin red ribbon around the lower portion of the blue card stock and ran it through a metal star. (The metal start was silver but I used my gold marker to "paint" it gold.) I then glued that entire piece to the center of my red A2 card base.

I also made the inside to match. I thought it would be a great way to thank a soldier. Here's what the inside looks like :

Supplies :

• Stamps - Liberty United by CI Stamping, "thank you" by Hero Arts, Sweet Stars jumbo wheel by Stampin Up!
• Inks - SU! Pacific Point, Riding Hood Red.
• Miscellaneous - card stock by Bazzill, ribbon by Offray, metal star unknown.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!!!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

In honor of the 4th I am going red, white, and blue! Sorry for such a late Fun-Filled Friday post. Last night we were making chocolates for my sister-in-laws upcoming wedding and I finally finished my card in the wee hours of night and was too tire to type up my post. I was a little rushed to finish which is why it's a simple card. I always hate when I am rushed for my own challenge! Make sure you check out Jen's patriotic card!





So here's what I did. I stamped the Rubbernecker image 3 times on plain white card stock. I used my Prismacolor markers to color the full image once, the hat twice and the brim of the hat 3 times. Then I cut out the hat and then just the brim, and set those aside. Next using my glitter pen I added glitter to all the white areas of the image. Then I cut and matted the image on red then blue card stock. This card measures 5"x7" so I cute the pattern paper to 4.75"x6.75" and glued that to the card base. Next I glued the matted image to the pattern paper centered more at the top of the card. Then I used pop dots to glue the cut out hat over the original hat. And finally I used pop dots to glue the brim of the hat on top of that. I wanted the hat to have a 3-d effect.

Well, I hope some of you decided to play along. Remember there's blog candy up for grabs at the end of the month! What are your big plans today? I have some shopping to do for a BBQ tomorrow. And I should pick up the rest of our mess from chocolate making last night. DH and I are debating if we want to go see fireworks somewhere. Hope you have a wonderful 4th!


Happy Crafting,
Kimmy
