HAPPY 4th of JULY! It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop. This week’s theme is “250th Red White & Blue”. Does anyone else feel that it is impossible to believe that it is the 4th of July already? We had a wonderful celebration with a picnic, waterski show and then fireworks!
SPLASH & RELAX
Once again my mind had started in a completely different direction! But, when the pieces were on my desk, the layout seemed to just work!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Blueberry Bushel cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 3/4 x 5-1/4 strip of Poppy Parade cardstock was adhered behind the left side of a 3-1/4 x 5-1/4 piece of Basic White cardstock, then adhered to the front.
- The solid innertubes were stamped off, once with Poppy Parade and once with Blueberry Bushel Inks on Basic White cardstock. The coordinating filler innertubes were stamped full strength for a two-tone look. They were cut with the dies and added to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The handles were cut with the die from Poppy Parade and Blueberry Bushel cardstocks and adhered to the innertubes.
- The flip flops were cut with the die from Basic White cardstock and striped with the Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends.
- The straps were cut with the die from Blueberry Bushel cardstock. They were adhered to the front of the card with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two small white Hues of Blue Flowers were added to the straps of the flipflops.
- The sunglasses were cut from Poppy Parade and lenses from Blueberry Bushel cardstocks using the dies, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A couple small, white Wonderful Stars Puffy Stickers were added to the lenses.
- The greeting was stamped with Poppy Parade Ink on 1-3/8 x 2-1/2 piece of Basic White cardstock and the corners clipped in the upper left and lower right.
- The word sunshine was stamped with Blueberry Bushel Ink on scrap Basic White cardstock and trimmed, then added flat to the greeting.
- The greeting was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
