Happy Independence Day!

Hello and welcome to my blog I just wanted to take a couple minutes of your time to day and wish you a safe and Happy 4th of July holiday. I hope that you have a safe and fun time watching, or playing with fireworks. I do have a little card to share with you today also.

My card today uses the Rays of Light Background Stamp from the 2022-2023 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog and the Splendid Day Bundle from the July - December Mini Catalog. The Rays of Light Background Stamp was a fun one to use to create the fun patriotic firework styled background. I used my Pacific Point Stampin' Write Marker, Poppy Parade Stampin' Write Marker and the Stamparatus to create the background. I inked up every other ray in one color and stamped it on the Basic White Cardstock panel. This was super easy using the Stamparatus.

Next I cleaned off the first set of rays (while leaving everything in the Stamparatus) and inked up the second set. This time I inked up the rays that I had not inked up before, and stamped it again. The Stamparatus allowed for the perfect placement.

To finish off the card I stamped my sentiment from the Splendid Day Stamp Set onto a scrap of Basic White Cardstock in Tuxedo Black Ink and used the half moon die from the Splendid Stems Dies to cut it out. I then popped that up onto the card front with a few Stampin' Dimensionals and added a few Iridescent Rhinestones to adda little sparkle and shine. I hope that you have a happy and safe 4th of July!
