PPA#49 Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July weekend! This is my take on the PPA#49 Inspiration Challenge here.
I started with a card stock base of Crumb Cake(formerly Kraft). I stamped the circles from the Level 2 Hostess set, Apple Blossoms in Crumb Cake with the Stamp-a-ma-jig. I stamped the "happy" definition from Define Your Life in Cherry Cobbler and "July" from Full Calendar in Cherry Cobbler too. I punched out the July with the 1 3/8 in by 5/8 inch large oval punch and layered that onto a Night of Navy punched with the 1 3/4 in by  7/8 inch large oval punch. The number 4 is from the retired Big Deal Numbers and I added the "th" and "of" with the Night of Navy Stampin' write marker. I used the paper piercing tool to pierce some circles to the strip of Whisper White card stock. The Perfect Polka-dots textured impressions folder was used to add the dots to Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White and Night of Navy card stock. And finally, I punched out three stars with the Extra-Large Star punch and popped them up with Stampin' dimensionals.
Here's my recipe:

PPA#33 Lucky

I made this St Patty's Day card for the PPA Challenge #33 here.

It's a color challenge and the colors are Garden Green, Certainly Celery and Kraft. So St. Patrick's Day naturally came to my mind. I started by running the Kraft base thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots impressions folder. I punched a strip of Garden Green with the Scallop Edge punch and added some White gel pen dots. I stamped the lucky image from Define Your Life in Garden Green and the shamrock image from Holiday Blitz in Garden Green too. I punched that out with the 1 inch circle punch and added a Stampin dimensional. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and that was stamped in Garden Green too then punched with the Word Window punch and layered onto a Garden Green piece punched with the Modern Label punch. Finally, a piece of Certainly Celery 1/4 inch grosgrain finishes it off!

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Define Your Live, Holiday Blitz, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Papers: Whisper White, Kraft, Garden Green and Certainly Celery

Inks: Garden Green

Accessories: Scallop edge punch, word window and Modern Label punches, 1 inch circle punch, White gel pen, 1/4 inch Certainly Celery grosgrain, Stampin dimensionals, Perfect Polka dots impressions folder
