Stamp Simply with stars and stripes

Happy 3rd of July!
I am gearing up for a nice little weekend out at our beach house, sun, friends, and fireworks!

Today's stamp simply challenge is stars and stripes- I did go with patriotic even though not a requirement!


I used this week's sketch challenge as my starting point. The stars are from this kit, and fit perfectly in my little SU star punch! Not a lot of stamping involved. ;)

Hope a fun and safe 4th!

hip hop it's JULY!

Happy almost fourth of July hip hop to ya! I LOVE the 4th- we spend it out at the beach house with lots of friends and fireworks! The kids are going crazy waiting!

On to hip hop- this week we are showcasing the kom- I did my first card with the Unity In America set in honor our the upcoming holiday-


I stamped the flag and colored it in with copics- I covered the hearts, stars and stripes with glossy accents- I like the look of the non traditional blue in this-


and here is my KOM card- the SUN made it into a KIT! I was so bummed when it was voted off the island!!! YEA for me though- Now I have it in a KOM!
And this card just makes me smile-bright cheery happy colors!


make sure to head on over to Lisa's blog next!

Flower Soft new products!

*this is post 2 0f 2, scroll down for the KOM Challenge*

Flower Soft DT challenge time- Well- we are supposed to be doing something out of the box with flower soft this month- and this is a little stretch! ;)



They sent us all this new fabulous POLAR WHITE flower soft product that's releasing at CHA and it's SO FUN!!!! We also got these fun card toppers- almost like paper dolls. You can pop the images up as many times as you want- so much dimension on the card, especially once you add the actual flower soft in!

Here is a close up of one of the bears- he has many many layers- I covered his paws with Nut Brown.
Here is a wider angle of all the layers- the polar white is a crisp white just like snow with a little sparkle to it- so pretty!

*new products aren't available until July 24th-

now, go check out the rest of the teams creations!!!

My layout is quick with NO stamping. I used all Cosmo Christmas (I had it out from our Christmas hip hop!) I took a little liberty with her sketch- I replaced the stars with swirls and a photo turn-
