SUPPLIES:

Rubber stamps above

UTEE (ultra think embossing powder)

I fell in Love with Sam the first time I saw him!!!  I have really

 been looking forward to using him for this 4th of July

 submission.

I also love Kraft Paper and I used Canvas Crop solid Kraft, 

Red/Kraft and Blue with Kraft stars.

The ink I used was a dark Brown and I embossed

both designs with UTEE (Ultra thick embossing

powder)  I love the texture and color match with the

embossed Dark Brown Ink and the Kraft colors.

I used a Cricket to cut out the large Rosette

I then used my scoring board and Bone Folder

to make the folds I needed.

I attached the rosette with double sided foam tape.

With the stamping completed I cut both designs out

with small sharp scissors.  Once cut I attached them to the rosette.  I put

Uncle Sam on with 1 strip of foam tape and the children with 2

to give them a higher elevation.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

                

Patriotic Viva Las Vegastamps!

The 4th of July is fast approaching... 

We will all be celebrating with family gatherings, company picnics and awesome fireworks shows! Here is a great card to use as an invitation to your gathering!

The image on the card is Statue of Everything # 4525

Using the Scor-pal create a rosette for the card. This one is made from a one inch x 12 inch strip of paper.

Stamp Statue of Everything # 4525 and fussy cut the image, then color with Tim Holtz Distress Markers. Tim Holtz Set of 37 Distress Markers are on sale for $89.60!

A $30.00 savings!

To give the image a heavy glossy look, I used the Viva Las Vegastamps Ultra High Gloss Embossing Powder. There are three layers of VLVS! High Gloss Embossing Powder on the image of Statue of Everything # 4525. Be sure to let the powder cool a minute before applying the next.

Here you can see the Viva Las Vegastamps Ultra High Gloss Embossing Powder. The layers of embossing powder makes the piece sturdy.

Use Viva Las Vegastamps Miracle Tape to adhere the pattern paper card stock and rosette to the base card. Attach the Statue of Everything # 4525 with foam tape under the lower half of the image.
