I know 4th of July has passed but we can always use a fun Red, White and Blue card any time. And this could be easily changed to some other color and make a great birthday card. Actually this idea is from a birthday card that my sister-in-law, Stephanie, sent to Tyler for his birthday one year – he has an August birthday – I have been saving it because I liked the pinwheel on it.
I used Real Red and Night of Navy and added the star brad in the center. I have been trying to find a project for the star brads and this was the perfect one. While it isn’t in this picture – I actually took the brad and smooshed it into a craft ink pad (I had to use Ruby Red since I didn’t have Real Red) and got ink all into the grooves of the brad and then wiped it with a paper towel so that ink in the grooves stayed but the other ink wiped off. I’ll get a picture later today and add it to this post later.
The new modern label punch worked great with the Family Phrases set where the “let’s celebrate” is from. I always fall back to using my Itty Bitty Backgrounds splatter stamp when I think my project needs something and it finished this one off nicely – atleast I thought it did.
This was one of our club projects last night for my Stamper’s Club meeting. We have one more meeting for this round in August and then I’ll start a new group in September. If you are not in the club now and want to join please let me know and I’ll send you all the details.
Have a fun weekend!
