Happy 4th of July!

... to all my friends in US. 

Hope everyone is having a great celebration! 

Eve

Summer!! :-)

When I think of summer, one thing which comes to my mind is Popsicle! lol! I remembered that House Mouse line has a couple of images. A couple of weeks ago, we, the HM BUDDIES in the group chatted about the color of the popsicle for this image. Some weeks ago, I saw this picture at Moxi fab, and I'd been wanting to color it like this picture on the right. Then a couple of days ago, I saw this picture in ads from nearby grocery store, and since 4th of July weekend is getting closer, I decided to color it like the picture below, also :-) The sentiment was colored with red & dark blue glitter pens. Both main images were attached with pop up glue dots to give a bit of depth to the card. I'm submitting the pink one to House Mouse & Friends monday challenge this week. The theme is "here comes SUMMER"! :-) The card is pretty much self explanatory :-) I'm submitting 4th of July card to Cupcake Inspirations, Crop Stop challenge ('Show your national colors!') and Delightful challenges ('Red, White & Blue'). Both cards are rather clean & simple but I really wanted to color these popsicles in different colors which I was inspired by the photos I've seen :-) Thank you for stopping by my blog today. Hope you'll all have a wonderful Independence day!!

"Happy 4th of July!" ...from Tilda

Tilda has already started, celebrating this weekend for Independence day! :-) This week's challenge at Magnolia Stamp Lovers is "buttons", and I wanted to use these STAR buttons. Also I wanted to use old CTMH's Fireworks on the background, using perfect pearls; interference RED & BLUE. To be able to see them better, I used the flash to take the picture. I stamped "USA" in the flag, and glazed it with a glaze pen. I "faux stitched" around the word USA, using dark blue glitter pen. I also used glaze pen to make her RED shoes shiney & ribbon. This week's challenge at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge is Stars & Stripes. Perfect use for THAT ribbon on the card! :-) I also made two flags, using distressed DP, and distressed the edges, using distresser. I also embossed those papers, cut the each star, attached on the top left corner & on one of the flags. Background RED CS is also embossed with the same embossing folder. Tilda's image is attached with pop up glue dots, to give a bit of depth to the card. I'm submitting this card to Magnolia Mania where this week's challenge is Distress :-) I'm also submitting this to ...Wee memories where the theme is "party!". I've already submitted one card to them, a Birthday "party" card, but now, getting close to July 4th weekend, planning some 4th of July parties (and birthday parties) to go to, my mind is to CELEBRATE & Party for this weekend! :-) At Fresh Brewed Coffee, the theme is ALSO PARTY! (any kind) :-) Well, my friends, thank you very much for visiting my blog today, and have a happy 4th of July LONG weekend in US, and have a great weekend if you live outside US :-)

Happy 4th of July! :-)

I know, it's a bit early, and in fact, I was thinking of making a card for memorial day with my fav. "mouse", I ended up making a card for "4th of July" after me finding a nice DP which says "4th of July"! Well, time is FLYING (as usual!), so before you know it, it'll be July 4th! lol :-) I made this card, from the sketch at this week's Inspirational Card sketches "116" challenge. I'm also submitting to Simon Says Challenge, for this week's theme "Stars & Stripes". Great timing, Perfect! :-)

4 stars on 4 corners are trimmed from the embossed red & dark blue papers, which I used cuttlebug embossing folder for, then, attached to the 4 circle die cuts. Those & main image are attached to the CS by dimentional glue foams to give more depth to the card. Other 4 circles are attached by regular glue (flat). You can see them on the 2nd picture. The upper right corner circle & lower left corner circle are made from my stash. I heat embossed the US flag image about a year ago. I found this in my stash, punched the circles out from the US flag image, and used them in this card. Other circles are punched out from DPs.

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #65 Stars and Stripes

well, i thought i made enough 4th of July cards this year but nah! This challenge calls for Stars & Stripes! I even thought i would make a card with Stars & Stripes with NO red, white & blue colors but i couldn't.... lol... yea, 4th of july is too close to think other colors for Stars & Stripes here, in US! LOL!

I do buy Pretty Papers once in a while cuz they are very pretty to look at, but hardly ever use them. But this Paper with 4th of July theme really got me into making a card with it! Since the paper has a distress look, i tried to match, and made the whole card, looked distressed. Maybe they can RUN another Stars & Stripes challenge, 6 months from now, and i might use other colors! ;-)

Clean and Simple Stamping challenge 95

yes, again, my mind now is "4th of July", but i made enough "4th of July" card! lol This card is very simple but i followed the sketch as close as possible, and in reality, i'm planning to use this card for a military personel, ADDING something under "Bless the USA". I have plenty space there, to make this card More Personal. If i need more "4th of July" card, i'll stamp "happy 4th" :-)

Mojo Monday 143

I think my mind now is for "4th of July"! This is what i came up with.
