Challenge #6 4th of July

Good Morning Cuttlebug'ers! Summer is in full swing and everyone is busy vacationing, and spending time with family. I myself will be going on a much needed vacation July 10th for a whole month! I am sooooo excited! But... have no fear... I will still be here! I could never leave all my friends for a whole month! *giggle*

Its America's favorite holiday month and our Design Team has cooked up some amazing 4th of July ideas for you all! This month we are showcasing Doodlebug products for you. I love Doodlebug they have great choices for all your scrapbooking needs!

I chose to be festive this month and add a little red white and blue to my living room! Since this months challenge will be to use Starz and Stripes and BLING I added some glitter to my project!

I used D'vine Swirls, and Forest Branches embossing folders on my project! For a full recipe visit my Cricut blog!

July's challenge is to use some BLING! We rec'd this wonderful package from Crazy Scraps to use this month! I added some heat embossing on some of the circles and on my plain doodlebug mini brads to make them shine some!

I used the following:

Paper: Crushed Velvet Blue Jean Doodlebug, Sew American Stripe by Doodlebug, white cardstock, red cardstock, glitter cardstock

Cuttlebug Die 2x2 - Circle frames, Red Mini Brads by Doodlebug, some rhinestones, ribbon.

I used my Storybook cart for the marquee--sew american paper cut at 11 1/2 inches and the white was cut at 8 inches. FUN was cut with the Mickey Font at 2 inches...Check out my blog for more info on the project: http://www.scrapthiscraftthat.blogspot.com/   Thanks!!!

RECIPE: Cuttlebug embossing folder= Herringbone/ Cuttlebug die 2x2= Circle Frames/ patterned paper= Doodlebug ( Sew American Stripes)/ velvet paper= Doodlebug ( Crushed Velvet Blue Jean/ red brads= Doodlebug ( Lady Bug).

TECHNIQUE: I cut out the letters from red cardstock and ran them through my Cuttlebug using the Herringbone folder. I cut the circles from tan embossed cardstock using the Circle Frames die and my Cuttlebug, then glued them together graduating sizes and dangled them from between the the banner triangles.
