Stampin’ Up! Celebrate a Bokeh Fourth!

Happy 4th of July, y’all!  Hope you’ve got a fun day planned – and that you’ll stay safe.  And take a moment to thank those who fight for the independence we’re celebrating today. 🙂

I made a quick card to celebrate the day – or an appropriate achievement!  It uses the new Bokeh Dots stamp set and the Celebrate You Thinlits.  And…new Embossing Powders in the 2018-2020 In Colors.  Take a look-see:

I started out by inking the stars stamp in the Bokeh Dots set in Versamark and stamping it several times on a piece of Whisper White card stock.  I sprinkled it with Lovely Lipstick and Blueberry Bushel Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it with my Heat Tool.

Once it had cooled, I cut a bunch of Tailored Tag Punch shapes.

With Liquid Glue, I adhered the punched shapes onto a Whisper White panel – letting the shapes spill over the edges.  Then I used my Stampin’ Trimmer to cut the excess.  I adhered the panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat with more Liquid Glue.

I cut three Whisper White Celebrate sentiments with the Celebrate You Thinlits, stacked them up and adhered them to the card front with Liquid Glue.

I used the new Twinkle Builder Punch to cut out a bunch of Whisper White stars and scattered them about with Liquid Glue.  Finally, I added some silver Twinkle Adhesive-Backed Sequins and the card front was done.

On the inside, I heat embossed a perfect sentiment from the Seize the Day stamp set in Lovely Lipstick on Whisper White.  When it was cool, I stamped some stars from the Little Twinkle stamp set in Blueberry Bushel.  A few more silver Twinkle Adhesive-Backed Sequins finished it off!

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Blueberry Bushel mat and into my Lovely Lipstick card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more Little Twinkle stars in Blueberry Bushel on the front…

…and I used some Lovely Lipstick paper from the 2018-2020 In Color DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Love the Bokeh Dots star stamp – and it embosses beautifully!  Don’t miss sentiments and images from all the stamp sets in your stash – there’s no need to stick with one stamp set or stay within a suite!  Get creative and think outside the stamp-case!  In this case, some stars from the Twinkle Twinkle Suite and the fun Celebrate You Thinlits perfectly complemented a little sentiment from Seize the Day!  Hope you like!
