Hello, My Friend

Clearsnap is Made in the USA so what better time to celebrate that fact than on the 4th of July!

Hop along with the Clearsnap  team as they share patriotic projects to ring in this Independence Day here in the US.

In honor of Independence Day, I created a red, white and blue tri fold card.



Cut cardstock 5 1/2" x 11" and score at 2 3/4" and 8 1/4".
Fold on the score lines creating a tri-fold card.
Cut cardstock and music pattern paper to fit each panel.
Ink the music paper with blue ink, moving the ink into each panel.  The Petal Point Ink pads allow you to add just a little ink with the pointed tip or a lot more ink with the rounded end.



Cut pattern paper for the interior of the card and ink with blue ink.
Mat with cardstock and adhere to the card.
Stamp sentiment with red ink on white cardstock and emboss with clear embossing powder.
Ink the edges with red ink and mat with blue cardstock before adhering  to the card.



Die cut a label shape for the card front from blue cardstock.
Stamp a sentiment on white cardstock and emboss with clear embossing powder.

Hi friends.

Wow, I completely forgot to post this card.  It was featured on the Zig Blog  for Father's Day.

Using a Woodware Stamp, I stamped it with Clearsnap Ink and accented portions of the sails with a Millenium Marker in Pure Blue.  The hull of the ship was colored with Zig Brushables in Platinum while elements were accented with Zig Fine & Chisel in Pure Red and Scroll & Brush in Wheat.  The Kurecolor Blue Gray was used round the edges of the die cuts as well as the water under the ship.

Thanks for stopping by today.

You're Unique

It's a new challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs and they are asking for projects using red, white and blue along with their dies, of course.  I've started collecting Cheery Lynn dies and I am impressed with how detailed they are. 

On this card, I've used FRM115 - Lattice 2  as the backdrop, then used DL244 - Rum Punch Tiny Doily to hold the chipboard butterfly.

 

To help the Lattice stand out, I matted it with blue cardstock.  The Rum Punch Tiny Doily is quite detailed, and since I wanted to use 2 layers, I cut away the edges of the red doily and mounted it on the blue doily. 

The chipboard elements were inked before adhering to the card.  Since I didn't have the right color of twine to use with my flag elements, I thought adding a sentiment across the flag elements would alleviate the need for adding twine.

 

Supplies:

Dies: Cheery Lynn Designs

Cardstock:  Stampin Up

Ink: Clearsnap

Chipboard: Ruby Rock-it
