Paper Sweeties Inspiration Challenge - July 2016

Welcome to the July Inspiration Challenge over at the Paper Sweeties Blog!

 

Paper Sweeties Inspiration Challenge | July 2016!

  

Don't you just love this July Inspiration Photo??!! And here is what I've created for you today:

My favorite youngest son's birthday is on the 3rd of July.  So many red, white and blue birthday parties for him!  And many times he even got fireworks for his birthday!  So when I saw this inspiration challenge I decided to make a birthday card for him.  My design is similar to one for last month's release but this time I used the Be Happy Sweet Cuts for the sentiment banner and the coordinating Hello Friend stamp set.  I just love those two sets together for a grand sentiment!

Then exploding out of the banner are some fireworks from the June Release I Love Summer Stamp Set and Sweet Cuts and my all time favorite squigglies from the Sweet Borders Sweet Cuts.  My stars were cut out of white glitter paper using the star from the I Love Summer Sweet Cuts for the smaller one and the smallest of the starts from the Be Happy Sweet Cuts for the bigger star and of course some Sugar Sprinkles Sequins.. my favorites because they go with anything!

I added some stickles to the fireworks for some extra sparkle.

I'm also playing along with the Anything Goes Challenge over at Crafting by Designs!

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #132

 

Happy November!  Welcome to this week's Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!  I'm also entering this into the Paper Sweeties November Inspiration Challenge.

 

The papers are Close to My Heart's Sangria.  I think this is one of my favorite paper packs in the new Idea Book and I haven't used it until now.  As soon as I saw the Paper Sweeties Inspiration picture I thought of these papers (minus the purple...lol).   I cute the leaves from Paper Sweeties Pretty Posies Sweet Cuts and the tag from Stitched Tags #1 Sweet Cuts.  The banner is also from the Paper Sweeties Be Happy Sweet Cuts.   I embossed the Champagne and Desert Sands pieces with CTMH's Woodgrain Embossing Folder and of course sprinkled Paper Sweeties sequins all over the place.  Oh!  Remember those PS Rusty Bells I was speaking of in my last post... added one just because I could....

 

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to play along with both challenges ... Atlantic Hearts is weekly and Paper Sweeties is monthly... check out all of the great artwork at both sites!
