Celebrate {TCP Tuesday Inspiration Challenge}

It's TCP Tuesday time again and I am the hostess for the inspiration challenge. 

I went with a patriotic theme using an image from the new Vintage Summer set stamped with Stampin' Up Midnight Muse ink and then cut out with the matching piece from the Framed Up CutUps. I prepared the background by using the Star Rosette CutUps as an embossing plate directly onto the card base. After putting together the patterned paper panel, I cut a notch out on the left side and then wrapped denim ribbon around it. After attaching it to the card base I added a veneer star in the notch (hard to see in the photo). The image was attached with dimensional dots and then topped it with a small pinwheel cut with the Pinwheels CutUps. A few wood veneer stars, sequins and a button provided the finishing touches.

In addition to TCP Tuesday we have a summer Blog Hop. We liked playing with our Summer Stamps, CutUps Dies and Cutables so much we thought we'd like to see what you did with them. So from now until July 24 we are having a Summer Blog Hop. Just use at least one stamp, or die, or Cutable from our new Summer collection and add it to the Inlinkz on the right column of this blog and you could win a $50 Gift Certificate! It's that easy.
