Monthly Challenge # 47 ~ Let Freedom Ring

Connie has her newest challenge posted!!! Let Freedom Ring! 

Requirements are: Red White and Blue and/or Rings(circles)

I used a Miss Kate Cuttables file for this card. It is her July Title.  I welded the back shadow together to create a card in design space. I was so impressed with my explore cutting those itty bitty stars out! I only lost one (bottom corner) and thats because I pulled the paper too fast! On the inside, I stamped Celebrate America using a Jaded Blossom sentiment from their Celebrate America set. 

You can create anything you'd like just be sure to mention you are linking to Connies challenge and create something using red/white/blue or with circles (rings) in it. 

Please create one layout, card, or other project. 

Your layout can be single page or double page. You may use any other products you wish. 

Entries are due by Tuesday June 30th at 11:59 pm, HERE

Sorry, No back Linking Allowed!!

Red White Kaboom! Hop

Welcome to the Red, White, Kaboom! Blog Hop!  Happy 4th of July!  We hope you are having a great holiday and thanks for spending a little time with us today.  You should have come from Theresa. If not, go back and start the hop at Alicia's blog.  We hope you enjoy our creative efforts we have to share today.  Enjoy your holiday!

For my project today, I created a fun 4th of July card. All the paper I used came from my scrap stash and is either Close to My Heart or Recollections. I used the Artiste Cricut cartridge to cut my pinwheel shapes out and then I used the coordinating pinwheel stamp set for my stars and stripes. I inked them using ruby & outdoor denim. The yellow pinwheel "holder" is inked in honey. I stamped that and then hand cut it out. I have the top part sitting on the card with pop dots. The blue stripes does spin as well! Let's celebrate came from the same set as the pinwheels.

Ingredients:

Close to my Heart ink: Honey, Outdoor Denim, Ruby

Cricut Artiste Cartridge

Close to my Heart Pinwheel stamp of the month

Summer Party Blog Hop

Welcome to the "Summer Party Blog Hop" 

We are so happy you could join us today! 

You should have arrived from Daphne. If you happened to come across my blog or are joining me from your dashboard, head over to Shannon's blog to start at the beginning. We don't want you to miss any of the fun! We will be showcasing party packages with a summer-y feel to them! 

My project is a little picture heavy but I wanted to get a little of everything in there for you! I did a big 1000 fan giveaway on my FB page and the grand prize was a party package for 5 guest. My winner wanted a princess theme and the birthday will be on the 4th of July! So I thought this would work great! 

I cut this banner out with my cameo. The font, pendants and hearts all came from the Sil Store. I tied it all together with white and red twine. 

I love these little invitations! I got this file from SVG Cutting Files. I used Jaded Blossom's Fancy Topper Die for the white cutout for the client to add her details on it. And the front of the castle is stamped with one of their sentiments from 100% Princess. I added a little bling on the castle points and tied some red white and blue twine for a little "extra"

The thank you cards came from my stash of never ending cards! I bought these from Michaels after Valentines day for near nothing! Just a basic red card that can be used for way more than just Valentines day! I used JB's 100% Princess for the sentiment and the fairy girl as well. 

These fun treat holders are from svg cutting files (click this link to bring you directly to the store!) as well. Ann really makes some adorable files! I inked them, blinged them up and twined them together! I used Jaded Blossoms Royal Candies for the sentiment and the Candy Charms & Banners for the circle cutouts. 

For all my inking and coloring, I only use CTMH products. I really love them! They come out nice and crisp the 1st time. They clean up really nicely too! If you would like to place an order for anything, please click the link below or on my sidebar! 

I really love how everything turned out! I don't get to do "girly" all that often and really enjoy it when I do! 

Thanks so much for taking the time today to hop along with us! 

I am including the entire lineup in case you get lost along the way =) 

Have a great day!
