Happy Fourth!

Happy 

Fourth of July!

Thank you to all who have served our country! 

After making this card for a special project, I decided to use the same technique for a Christmas card!

This is one that you can make at the July Stamp Along next Monday. 

There are several ways to do the retriform technique on cards. 

This one is probably the easiest. 

Just stamp that central image and use a piece of scrap paper to sponge all the way around it. 

Add a few images in the sections that you create and you are finished. 

As in the past, I have this one Christmas card in July to get us started. Next month Iwill try to have two and build from there until December. 

Do you golf? Do you have friends that golf? 

This card makes use of the hot air balloon to make a golf ball. 

I am not that imaginative to come up with these ideas on my own. I do follow many blogs and check with Pinterest to get all these cute ideas to share with you. 

Remember the scissors that makes grass? Yup, I pulled that out for you to use on this card. I also pulled out a retired folder for the dimples on the ball. 

Do you have DSP that you would like to use up? This pocket card is just the thing for that. 

It uses a half sheet of DSP and makes use of both sides. 

Connie Stewart has the full directions on her blog. 

I have used it with the retired DSP from SAB a few years ago. 

There will be several choices of DSP from which you can choose yours. 

The card slides in from the top. 

Another card using that hot air balloon is the pop up one that I used for the kid's program at the Library. There were lots of left overs so I thought I would share them with you. 

It would make a good celebration card for any occasion!

The saying on the inside says "follow your dreams." 

There is a rather nice promotion going during July. 

For every $50 you spend on product, you will receive a coupon for $5 off of your order in August. 

You can find all the details on my website. 

It is called Bonus Days! 

While you are there, check out the clearance rack. For the first time ever, SU! has put stamp sets on that site. 

If you find several things you NEED, check the deal that they are giving for signing up! 

That one is called EXTRA, EXTRA! 

If you have any questions that I can help you with, please call or message me. 

Thank you! 

Hope to see you on Monday!

Have a great weekend!
