Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July friends!  I'm celebrating our independence with a couple of cards for the occasion.

 

This card using this cute Patriotic Bear and Bunny image is from Miss Ink Stamps.

 

I purchased it last year and hadn't used it until now.  I colored the image with Copics and added white gel pen details.

 

I then die cut the image out using a postage die from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  I blended in a bit of color before removing the image from the postage die.  This card has made its way across the country to my sweet little "P".

 

 

 This next card uses the ever popular postage die from Waffle Flower.  

 

I discovered that these patriotic dies from Frantic Stamper fit into each of the spaces perfectly.

 

I don't send out a lot of cards for this occasion, but found myself playing around with these supplies that seldom get used.  

I'll be entering one of these cards into the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

Simon Says Monday Challenge ~ Red, White and / or Blue

 

Have a safe and happy 4th my friends!

Flower Pots ~ Double D

Good day crafty friends!  Double D is back with a new challenge using Flower Pots.

 

 

 I knew right away that I needed to use these darling plant pots from The Greetery. 

 

 

Their Modern Planters and Planter Pets came out in June of 2023 and I think you can still find them at The Greetery. 

My daughter and I are both working on growing our green thumbs.  We love house plants!

 

 

We share cuttings from each others plants and if something needs to be cut back, we plop it in some water to see if it will grow roots, then we share them with friends.

The Planter Pets are all so cute when filled with house plants.  I sure wish I had some of these cute planters in my house.  

 

 

I mean, seriously???  So cute!

So come on over to the DD Challenge blog and join in on the fun!  Be inspired by the work of all my talented team mates and get your green thumb on.  

Here's the inspiration tile to help you get started:

And here's a prize that you could win when you play along.
