Let’s celebrate our Country’s 250th Anniversary this 4th of July.  I have a fun and easy treat for you.  I am using the Service Essentials Bundle #167438, $40.50, and the Playful Packaging Dies #167599, $27-.   I have used this set several times for different holidays and couldn’t let this one go by without using it a few more times.
IInside the bag, I have Little Debbie’s Nutter Butter for the 4th of July.  They are individually wrapped.  The colored sprinkles make the packaging look great!
These would be cute to give out at a celebration or to a Host as a thank you.  You can also give them out to your groups.  Ie. Bookclub, hairdresser, Mahjong players etc.

As Father’s Day is fast approaching, I thought I would share a cute Father’s Day card.  I might have mentioned before, my Husband loves to use the grill and I love eating anything grilled.  It’s a win, win!
So today, I am using the BBQ Master bundle.  Take a look.

I used a barn door layout.  The bottom half opens.  I did a similar one before, but did it in the opposite direction.  
I used a piece of Real Red cardstock 8-1/2″ X 11″ and scored it at 4-1/4″.
Then I cut the 4-1/4″ side @ 2-3/4″ which splits it in half.  Only cut to the scored line.  Next, I  layered an embossed white piece cut 4″ X 2-1/2″. I used the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder.  You can use whatever folder you like.  
Then I stamped the Happy Father’s Day in black memento ink on a piece of red cardstock and cut them out.  I glued them to the top of the card.
I cut a piece of Homemade Sweetness designer paper to 2-1/2″ X 4″ and glued it to the bottom of the cardstock. I love the checks in this paper.  It’s item #167467.
I stamped the grill in black memento ink on a piece of white cardstock.  Then I cut the fire out using the matching dies after stamping black memento ink on a piece of daffodil delight cardstock and used my red blend marker to color the bottom of the flame.  I attached it to the grill with a dimensional.  I attched the grill to the bottom half of the card with dimensionals.  Be careful not to use the dimensionals on the top back of the grill.  It will not allow the card to open.
I used the fork die to cut out the red fork and a piece of Pumpkin Pie to cut out the hot dog. I glued the fork to the card and used a mini dimensional to attach the hot dog to the fork.
Swing open the card and attach a piece of white cardstock 2-1/2″ X 4″.  I cut a 1/4″ X 4″ piece of the designer paper on top of the white piece.
I stamped the saying in Real Red ink.  I left space for my sentiment and signature.

This bundle is so fun.  There are more items for the grill as well as utensils. The sayings are great too!.  Here is the bundle. #167466 $39.50.  
It’s a great deal and I hope you will add it to your collection.  
You can purchase it on my site at Stampfunatics.com 

I have a video for you today, to show you a sneak peek of our new On-line prodcuts coming out in July.
We have some Halloween, Fall and Christmas.  I am so excited to be able to get a start on some of my Holiday cards and projects.
There will be a Christmas in July for sure!

I have another card for you using the new In Colors.  
Today I am using the Lovely Arrangements Bundle with the Bloom Boutique Designer Paper.

I started with a thick piece of White cardstock cut 5-1/2″ X 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″.
I cut a piece of the beautiful designer paper 4″ X 5-1/4″ and glued it to the card base.
I cut another piece of the designer paper 2-1/4″ X 5″ and glued it to the card.
Next, take a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe and cut three thin rectangles using the dies in the set.  I glued them towards the middle.
I took a piece of white cardstock and stamped the flowers in black memento ink.
I used the Crisp cantaloupe, Barely Blush and Hydrangea Hue Blend markers.  Color aroud the inside of the petals in the darker shade and Use the lighter shade to draw out the color and finish the petals.  I used blue and cantaloupe for the centers of the flowers.
Cut the flowers out with the matching dies.  I used a dimensional in the center back of the flower and layered them together.
I cut out the leaves in the new Peaceful Pine cardstock and glued them behind the flowers.
Stamp the saying on white cardstock using black memento ink  Cut out the saying with the small rectangle die.
Cut a piece of Cantaloupe with the oval die.  Glue the two together and add to the card with dimensionals.
I added the 2026-2028 In Color dots to embellish the center of the flowers and the ends of the saying.
I hope you can see the flecks of metallic on the flowers in the designer paper. It really sparkles.  I love this paper.
Here is a look at the products.

Today I am taking a different approach to Valentine’s Day.  
I belong to a Community Club that takes this week and always thank our First Responders.  We make snack boxes/baskets and take them to our local Police Dept and Fire Dept. and thank them for their service.  We always deliver them before Valentine’ Day so they feel the love.

So today, I am using our new Service Essentials stamps and dies. Take a look.There are great sentiments and you can use them for Military, Red Cross, your Heros, and in my case, First Responders.
We haven’t had a new Military set in a while, so I scooped this one up right away.
I love that it came with matching dies.  You can buy them separately or bundle them for a 10% savings.
Here is the Item # 167438. $40.50.
