Today’s card will be entered into Gina K Designs July 2019 Monthly Mix Challenge “Flag!  You’re It!” hosted by Cat to incorporate the colors of a flag into your project.   I chose Red, White and Blue to represent the flag of the USA.  Using my favorite Bold & Blooming stamp set from GKD, I heat embossed in GKD fine detail white embossing powder on GKD Blue Denim cardstock, layered on some white glitter paper popped up the sentiment in cherry red ink and then punched out some butterflies from a Martha Stewart punch.

Happy Christmas in July!  I’ve been working on a variety of Christmas in July 2019 cards that were so much fun to create.  It’s been so very hot at home that I really wanted to tie in that hot weather theme!  Enjoy and thanks for looking.

This little relaxed snowman looks very comfortable under his palm tree.  The image is an older rubber stamp from Hampton Art Stamps, the sun was create using a Spellbinder’s die and my clouds are the fabulous stencil by Bonnie.

Next up is summertime Santa and his reindeer taking a tropical drive.  The die is from My Hero Arts monthly kit add on die and Cruising Santa is an older Stampendous mounted rubber stamp.  I sprayed on some Glitter Dust for sparkle.

Tropical vibes on this one for my flamingo friends uses the Spellbinder’s die cut out in glitter paper for the sun and multiple stamp sets used were from My Hero Arts monthly kit and Newton’s Nook Festive Flamingo.

Deck the Palms is again from Newton’s Nook Designs Sun-Soaked Christmas.  I added some Gina K Designs patterned paper for layering.

Santa Detoured to the beach on this outside and inside look.   Santa inside was again from Newton’s Nook Sun Soaked Christmas as was the front sentiment.  The directional pole sign is unknown.  I was thinking either a DRS Designs or Rubbernecker but could not identify.

Sorry for the long post.  Enjoy your day and Happy Christmas in July to all!!

P.S.  for all the Buddies!!

 

Hi Buddies,

My card today  is one of my favorite folds, the gatefold card.  This year we, my high school girlfriends and I , all turn 65 so I’m trying to create some fun cards with the hopes that it brings a smile and chuckle for each and everyone.  I found my never been inked before Art Impressions (Hampton Art) and decided that it would be perfect for Joan’s birthday. There was no name on this set but it has fun girlfriend images and sentiments.

The outside on this one uses Gina K’s Glitz Glitter Gel and the fabulous stencil by Bonnie!!

Celebrating Brooke’s 7th birthday with rainbows, unicorns, stars, clouds and lots of sparkle.  Today’s card uses a variety of stamps and dies. My unicorn is a SimonSaysStamps “Magical Birthday set, the stars and clouds were from a Hero Arts monthly kit, the Happy die cut came from a Hero Arts stamp and cut set.  I also used Spellbinder’s classic hearts dies and Lawn Fawn’s rainbow die.  Sparkle came from glitter pens, wink of stella, glitter paper, Sakura clear star gelly roll pen and some unknown glittery spray that may have been included in a past kit.  All I need to do is complete the inside which will be like creating another card for the birthday girl. 

Just a few summertime cards using a fun little stamp set “Floaties” by Stampendous made for a dear friend’s grandchildren.  There is also a giraffe floatie and some cute sentiments in this set.  The clouds, sun, rainbow and Fun In the Sun are not included in this set.
