The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge with Fourth of July Cards

Hello! This is Day 2 of a two day hop to celebrate the tenth 30 Day Coloring Challenge. Have you heard of "The Daily Marker's 30 Day Coloring Challenge" hosted by Kathy Racoosin? Right now it's in the middle of the challenge and it's a great time to take a leap, jump in and get your feet wet!  Don't feel like you are jumping into the middle of the challenge I hope you will think of it as a new beginning.

The premise of "The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge" is to color something everyday even if it's for five minutes. However feel free to  jump in or out as time permits.

You should have arrived to this post from the Studio Katia blog, but if you are just joining in the hop you can start at the beginning at The Daily Marker.

In honor of the blog hop we have created two cards to share with you today...

Card No. 1: With Fourth of July right around the corner I thought pull out my favorite Copic Markers and color the dogs from our Party Pups & Devoted Doggies sets with a banner from our Stars & Stripes stamps. I love that I was able to switch up the party hats and color them with a patriotic twist. For my greeting I borrowed a stamp from a versatile new sentiment set debuting next month. ;)

Card No. 2: For my second card I used the flag and some leftover bunting images that I had already colored from that same Stars & Stripes set together with the hedgehog, raccoon & snail from our Critter Campout set that I had colored several months ago.  I love that I was able to create a card from essentially leftover scraps that were otherwise going unused in my stash.

Stars & Stripes Patriotic Red, White, and Blue Card with Nancy

Let’s hear it for the red, white and blue! Nancy here today with a patriotic card using the Stars & Stripes stamp set. I love that this set has so many fun sentiments and icons. These are perfect for all those last minute Fourth of July BBQ invitations! Who doesn’t love to get a handmade invite.

I started the card by randomly stamping images on the right side of a white 4-1/2”x5-1/4” card. To create this look, begin with the largest images then fill in the whit spots with the tiny and medium stars.

All of the images were colored with Copic markers. A strip of red cardstock was used to ground the sentiment. The “Happy 4th of July” was created by using white embossing powder and a heat gun. This really makes that sentiment stand out!

A few scattered sequins and a stars completes this bright and patriotic card. Don’t forget to pick up the Stars & Stripes stamp set in the store!

Stars & Stripes Patriotic 4th Of July Card with Amy

Hello everybody! Amy here with a card using the wonderful Stars & Stripes stamp set and coordinating dies. I used this set to make a Fourth of July card, but you can also use some of the images and sentiments for birthday cards as well as cards for the super heroes in your life.

To begin, I knew I wanted to do some easy coloring with Zig Real Color Brush Markers, so I stamped the images on watercolor paper with Black Versafine ink. Then, I applied clear embossing powder over it, and set it with a heat gun. This helped me color inside the lines, and it also added a nice raised (and shiny) texture to the outlines of the images. I tried to capture that in the photo below.

Before adhering the images to the card front, I stamped the sentiment that is included in the set. To add interest and dimension to the card, I used foam tape to adhere the images (some with one layer and others with two) to the card front. To finish, I added some stars sequins.

I hope you like today's card. This design can be used with just about any stamp set. It's really simple to do, and fun to make! Thanks for stopping by the blog today. Have a fabulous Wednesday!

Color Me Happy Rainbow Window Card with Eloise

Hello everyone! Eloise here and today I have a fun rainbow card to share with you using the Color Me Happy stamp set along with a few other sets also!

To begin my card today I went ahead and pulled several stamp sets with images I could colour for the whole rainbow. So I pulled Tropical Paradise, Fresh and Fruity, Sunny Sentiments, Froggy Friends, Sweet Shoppe and Stars and Stripes and stamped out one of the images out of each set onto some white cardstock, and used various Copic Markers to colour them in. I then used the coordinating dies to cut them all out. Once my images were ready I would on my window portion. 

I've done this for a previous card before, so I had the template all ready to go, I just lined up the template on another piece of white cardstock, taped it into place and placed the die in the slots to cut them out. For the circles I used the orange slice die from Fresh and Fruity. Once I had cut all six circles, I could work on the background. 

I masked off the circles behind the window panel and used various colours of Distress Inks to ink blend the background. I did each circle a colour of the rainbow in order. I then used foam adhesive to adhere down the window frame on top of the coloured background piece. I used tape adhesive and glued down my images into their coordinating coloured circle. Once my images were adhered I moved into my sentiment.

I used the 'You Fill My Days with Rainbows' sentiment from the Color Me Happy stamp set and white heat embossed that onto some black cardstock with white embossing powder. I cut down the strip and foam mounted it to the panel. For my card base I added a pink piece of cardstock to the card base and then adhered my panel on top. For a very last finishing touch I used some sequins to add into the circles in coordinating colours.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed and make sure you check back on the blog for more inspiration this week!
