Thanks for joining us today! Welcome to Team Stamp It’s June blog hop. This month,The r we feature cards and projects with a summer and/or patriotic theme. Be sure to visit all of the talented stampers participating in the hop. Leave a comment with the hashtag #stampitcontest. You could win a Hello Dear Friend card kit.
My card features the super fun Hats Off Bundle found on page 47 of Stampin’ Up!’s new Annual Catalog. Actually, I only used the smaller hat die to convey my summer and patriotic theme. The sentiment comes from A Good Man stamp set (located on page 46).
I’ve had a lot of fun creating a variety of hats — for both men and women — with this bundle. View this blog post for a few other ideas and a video.
Hats Off to Summer Card
The red, white, and blue theme, combined with the baseball hats, gives off a great summer vibe. After all, summer and baseball are synonymous.
In addition to the Hats Off Bundle and A Good Man, I used the following Stampin’ Up! products:
Basic White, Real Red, Night of Navy and Crumb Cake Card Stock
Real Red Classic Stampin’ Pad
Circles from the Picture This dies
Bottom layering decorative circle from Tasteful Labels Dies
