4th of July Scrapbooking - Most Popular Post

I love seeing comments here or on my Facebook page, and I find the stats so interesting.  What makes one post more popular than another?  So on this 4th of July, I am reposting my most popular blog post ever!

This July Fourth set is so easy to work with that this was one of my quicker scrapbook pages.  It's not hard to decide on colors so you save a little time right there ;-)  I decided to make a progressive scrapbook page, so I started by making a 6 x 6 scrapbook page for one picture.  

Then I put it onto an 8 1/2 x 11 page and added a couple more photo boxes.   

Then I used my Big Shot to cut letters and made it into a 12 x 12 page ready for some great holiday photos this weekend.   

But why stop there?  The original 6 x 6 scrapbook page can be folded and turned into a 3 x 6 card.  Use one of our Small Open-End Envelopes and drop it in the mail.  

Supplies: July Fourth stamp set, Night of Navy, Real Red, Whisper White cardstock, Night of Navy, Real Red, Daffodil Delight ink, 1 1/4 circle, 1 3/8 circle, star punch, Big Shot, Timeless Type Junior Alphabet, dimensional

4th of July Waterfall Card

A few years ago, I received this swap from Debbie Jones.  I recreated it for my stamp club, and it remains one of my favorite projects.  I almost mailed it this year, but no - looks like I get to hold on to it for another year!

Pull the ribbon tab and watch the waterfall!

The great thing about waterfall cards is that they are so impressive but really not that hard to make.  You can find a step by step tutorial at Splitcoaststampers.com if you want to try your own.  

Supplies:  July Fourth stamp set, Night of Navy ink, Real Red, Brilliant Blue, Whisper White cardstock, Navy Grosgrain Ribbon, Eyelet, Brads, Crop-a-Dile
