Happy 4th of July — Stampin’ Up! Fun

It's a beautiful day today….perfect temperatures in the mid-80's, a slight breeze, and the sunshine generates happy vibes.  I wanted to share with you a few festive creations with you.  The first one was created by one of my Lori's Dream Team members, Sharlei Hauck.  We had a team meeting last month and I brought all of the supplies to create a July 4th Card In A Box.  I had the main box finished for inspiration, but wanted to see their version of decorating a variety of sprays sprouting from the box. Sharlei used the new Star punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack to sprinkle Red, White, and Blue throughout the Circle Banners using the Memorable Moments Stamp set.  So CUTE!!

I demonstrated how to use our Angled Tag Topper Punch to add pizzazz to the box flaps.  This was a huge WOW factor….thinking 'outside' the box.  Teehehe

 

I found a few festive creations using the June Paper Pumpkin kit in ways that were not illustrated in the kit.  If you enjoy be creative, and you are not sure where to start, you really should give My Paper Pumpkin a try.  You get all of the supplies (including ink, papers, embellishments, etc.) to create to your hearts content.  Start with the suggested creations, then keep some of the supplies to create something that is out of the norm….'outside the box'.  You will love it!! 

What is Paper Pumpkin?  **squeal**  Check out all of the details HERE.

Get ready to drool over the next samples….

The kit contents can lend themselves to creating some festive décor for a Fourth of July party, like this adorable banner:

The pinwheels can be cut apart and made into fun bows that are great embellishments for treats and other gifts:

I love it when holiday cards don't always use the traditional colors, like these fun and cute cards:

 

Happy 4th of July!!

Have a safe and fun day with family and friends!  May God Bless You and Your Family!!
