Dandelion Wishes - Fourth of July

My cat Milo is all black and he is afraid of the fireworks like most animals are.  I thought it would be fun to include him in my Fourth of July card as if he is looking at the beautiful fireworks display.  I've seen other people use the Dandelion Wishes as fireworks, so I thought I would give it a try.  I was inspired by Tina Wardell's card with Playful Pets.  Here are the instructions to my card.


1.     The base of the card is Pacific Point cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2 and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.
2.    The second layer is Real Red cardstock 3-5/8” x 5”
3.    The third layer is Whisper White cardstock cut at 3-3/8” x 4-3/4”.
4.     Stamp the Dandelion Wishes stamp on the Whisper White cardstock in Versamark ink.  Eliminate the stems.  Add the White Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.  I actually used the retired Shimmer White EP.
5.    Using Sponge Dauber, sponge the Real Red and Pacific Point on the fireworks.  The sparkles of the embossing powder will still shine through.
6.    Use the sentiment “Let’s Celebrate” from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set.
7.    Ink up the “Let’s” with a Black Marker.  Then alternate Real Red and Pacific Point markers on the “celebrate”.
8.    Basic Black scrap for the cat.  Punch it out.
9.    Attach punched out Basic Black cat using Dimensionals to the card.

Dandelion Wishes


Good Morning, Stampers!  Yesterday, I spent about 6 hours power-washing the vinyl fence out front.  My husband passed away almost 7 years ago and he had this fence installed while he was still sick, but I don't think he realized it is not maintenance free.  I was sure wishing I had someone to help me get it all done.  Luckily, my neighbor guy came out and did the side yard fence for me.  So, my wish did come true.  So, even though, I don't have any dandelions in my yard (lots of clover), I bought this stamp set several months ago and decided it was time to make a card with it because of the sentiment,  and was inspired by Create with Christy, who is a fellow demonstrator, but noticed she is from Indiana too.

Here are the instructions on how I made my card with the supplies to follow: 
1.     The base of the card is Night of Navy Cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.
2.    The second layer is Whisper White cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and inserted into the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder and run through the Big Shot and adhered with Multipurpose Glue to the base card.
3.    The DSP is cut at 1-1/2” x 4” and adhered to the bottom with Multipurpose Glue.
4.    The Whisper White cardstock layer for the stamped image is cut at 2-3/4” x 3-1/4” and the Night of Navy cardstock it is layered onto is 3” x 3-1/2”.  Put Dimensionals on the back to adhere to the front of the card.  Stamp the image with Night of Navy Ink on the Whisper White cardstock.  Use the Sponge Dauber in the center of each dandelion.  I sponged the edges too.
5.    The sentiment “I Made a Wish and You Came True” is inked with Night of Navy on a strip of ¾” wide of Whisper White cardstock.  I inserted it into the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch and adhered it with Dimensionals at the bottom of the card.
