Welcome to the July 13th Patriotic Blog Hop hosted by
Cricut Chirp! If you're just joining the hop, make sure to start back at the beginning
HERE. If you got here from
Sandy's blog, then you're in the right place! We hope that you enjoy hopping along with us as much as we enjoyed putting our projects together for you. Be sure you read all the way through, as I've got blog candy at the end!!!
Since I have been part of a military household for the past 8 1/2 years, it was natural for me to join this hop! I made this card for an issue of
Ready Set Create magazine and knew it would be perfect.
The image was a digital stamp I was provided with for the magazine issue. I colored it using Crayola colored pencils, then I used
Stickles in Candy Cane and Star Dust. I inked the edges of the card with
Tim Holtz Distress Ink Barn Door and Faded Jeans. Once the Stickles were dry, I adhered them to the front of the card using pop dots. I LOVE the way the card turned out!!! I think it's perfect for a 4th of July card or for a military holiday to let a military member know how much their service is appreciated.
Here's the full hop lineup in case you get lost:
Now for the blog candy! I'll be giving away the
Circle of Honor patriotic stamp set from
