Red White and Boom!

Happy Saturday! It’s show season, so an extra hello welcome to anyone in Syracuse at this weekend’s Too Much Fun Rubber Stamp Show. Please stop by and say hello while you shop!

This is Rebecca, and my project today is an extension of yesterday’s Instagram Hop with The Project Bin. You can still take the hop on Insta - just start at @eyeletoutlet and look for the hop logo:

The designers for both The Project Bin and Eyelet Outlet came up with some terrific cards and projects using a mix of both brands. Check it out, leave comments and possibly win one of the $25 prizes!

For the hop I used the Red White and Boom set for a not-so red, white and blue card. A few EO dots, and the firecracker stamp became firecracker flowers.

But today I thought I’d use the same stamp set in a little more traditional way. A mix of the stamps, along with EO washi and bling made a background for a 4th of July scrap page.

Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI)

Every year, Iowa is home to one of the largest bike-touring event in the world ... RAGBRAI (also known as the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa).  
Since several co-workers participate in this week-long event, I thought it would be fun to make them some cards to celebrate the ride.

I started with Wide America Washi Tape to cover my card bases.

For this first one, I added a single yellow bicycle brad together with the Explore arrow brad from the same set.  I finished with some red, white & blue enamel dots.

For the next one I added a red & blue bicycles with another of the sentiment arrows and more enamel dots (I thought the riders would appreciate a bit of *down-hill* so I angled my washi tape on this one).

Products used:

• Wide America Washi Tape
• Bicycle Brads
• Enamel Dots - Multi-Color

Washi Tape Die Cuts

Now that I've taught you how to make Washi Tape backgrounds, you can have even more fun by die cutting those backgrounds into fun shapes.

I created three different Washi Tape Backgrounds and Die Cut them with the Sizzix Top Note Die Cut for three different looks.

For the first one I combined three different green Washi Tapes with some Bling Swirls for a fun birthday card for my Gran.

For the first card, I lined up the tape at an angle before die cutting and then added sticker sentiments and a fun Party Hat Brad on the head of the roundest owl for some birthday fun before attaching to a gold metallic card base.

This photo angle shoes you just how shimmery/reflective the gold in the washi tape is ... and how stinkin' cute is that owl in the party hat.

For this card, I combined Wide America Washi Tape with NYC Washi Tape attached horizontally using this week's TGIF Sketch.

The Flatback Resin Super Hero Shield was the perfect accent together with some sticker sentiments to celebrate my annual trek to NYC (can't wait to go again this year).

The final card combines Wide Bike Washi Tape with some girly flowers at another angle using this week's My Time to Craft Challenge Blog Sketch.

I accented with Glittery Enamel Dots and Sticker sentiments ... don't you just love those pretty bicycles.
