DRU - Red White and Blue

Hello craft friends,

Mary here with a watering can full of red and white flowers on a background of blue for a patriotic weekend card. 



I used the following four sets of dies on my card: 

the Grand Water Can by Poppy, die cut from white card stock
the Lacy Poppies by Elizabeth Craft Designs, die cut from white and red card stock
the Star Spray by Creative Expressions, die cut from red card stock
the Lg Staghorn Coral by Frantic Stamper, die cut from white card stock

This card requested a few die sets, but once all the elements were die cut, came together super fast.  I  started by covering the background with blue pattern paper leaving a small white border, next placing the watering can (with a little foam tape in the center) and arranging all the die cut elements into it.  This fun card is going on our mantle this holiday weekend.  Do you use cards to decorate your space?


Don't forget to come join in the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.  There's a new challenge theme offered on the 1st and 15th of each month and one lucky randomly drawn winner will receive a gift voucher prize to the Dies R Us Store.  For your convenience, all the important Dies R Us links are provided below.

Inspiration Squad - Challenge 203

Hello crafty friends... welcome to CAS-ual Friday's Challenge #203!   The inspiration for this challenge is Heat Embossing:


Are you a fan of heat embossing?  I hate the mess, but love the look, so I took out my embossing supplies and set about creating this card.

  
This being the 4th of July weekend, I had to use red and blue.   The celebrate was heat embossed onto a vellum banner and glued down with score tape. The flowers from the peaceful garden stamp set were heat embossed with red and blue directly onto the card front.  The green leafs were stamped over the embossed flowers.

Remember... 10 winning entries will be highlighted on this blog each Thursday before a new challenge is set to go live the next day.  In addition, Michele has generously offered up a $25 gift certificate to the overall winner at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.   If the chosen winner has used CAS-ual Fridays stamps and/or dies as the main focus in the card, that gift certificate will increase to $50.



Thanks for stopping bye... until next time, take care.
