Light the Sky Celebrate

For today’s hop, I chose to use Stampin’ Up!’s Light the Sky stamp set to create a patriotic card celebrating Independence Day. I know, I know! Who sends cards to celebrate the Fourth of July? I think it’s really fun to make and send cards for all of the holidays. In fact, I bought this stamp set to use specifically for July 4th and New Year’s. 

One quick note about this stamp set. You won’t find it in a catalog; it’s part of Stampin’ Up!’s Online Exclusives. It’s definitely for sale. (Take a minute to browse the Online Exclusives by clicking here. There are some really great products not found in catalogs.)

Circle Sayings Fourth of July

When you’re a card maker, you don’t need a reason to get into your craft room and make a card. But when there’s a holiday, any holiday, us creators get into gear. And we even send cards to celebrate the Fourth of July. I found it fun to try to make an Independence Day card with the supplies I have on hand.

  • Circle Sayings Bundle 
  • Stylish Shapes Dies
  • Beautiful Balloons Dies (big star)
  • Soft Shimmer 12 x 12 Paper Pack (Night of Navy)
  • 2022-2024 In Color Paper Pack (Sweet Sorbet)

Peekaboo Treat Bags for the Fourth

Peekaboo Treat Bags for the Fourth

I love treat bags! So, my project showcases one of Stampin’ Up!’s Peekaboo Treat Bags. These bags come in packages of 10 for $6. Find them on page 140 of Stampin’ Up!’s 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. You receive five white and five Kraft bags. The little see-through window makes it super fun to add themed treats. I filled mine with red, white, and blue taffy.

I had to be a little creative when putting these bags together. Here’s a list of what I used:

  • Black and White Designs 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (available in the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. Begin ordering from it July 1). I used the Blending Brushes to apply Night of Navy and Real Red ink to the DSP pieces.
  • Stars punched with the Starlit Punch (Annual Catalog) from the Real Red  & White 6 x 6 Glimmer Paper (July-December 2022 Mini Catalog).
  • Sentiment from Peaceful Deer (Annual Catalog)
  • Double Oval Punch (Annual Catalog)
  • Real Red 3/8″ Ruffled Real Red Ribbon

These bags are super fun and super versatile. There are lots of ways to decorate. Fill them with everything from treats to gift cards.
