Red, white & blue July blog hop - Happy 4th of July

 

Welcome to the July 2018 blog hop with Di's Country Inkers!  Our theme this month is red, white, and blue – of course to celebrate 4^th of July!  Here is my project for the blog hop:

 I had so much fun with the large letter framelits diecuts and wanted to use them again, and decided to spell out my son’s name for an “eclipse” birthday card for him this month.  An eclipse card is where you pop up the die cut letters/image by adding dimensional pop-up dots to the back of the letters and applying the letters over the cut out openings.  The trick is to make sure you measure and cut accurately and use thick foam adhesive under the letters – the Stampin’ Up dimensionals are perfect for this!  Or you could use the foam adhesive strips.  I think this technique was also called “shadowing.”

 Here are a few closeups and other angles of my card:

These are the Stampin’ Up products I used for my card:

Large letters framelits

Blueberry bushel inkpad, cardstock, and 6 x 6 designer paper (this is one of the current new In colors)

Poppy parade cardstock and 6 x 6 designer paper (in the brights color pad)

Silver metallic thread

Polka dot tulle ribbon (I dyed it with the blueberry inkpad – it was very messy and I had blue fingers for quite a while so will probably wear gloves next time; the inkpad was brand-new and very juicy!)

 Metallic pearls in silver

Pop up dimensionals (cut in half to fit the letters as needed)

 You can get all of these Stampin’ Up products in my online store:  http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/marynoble/
