On my stop of this hop you will find two summer themed, but completely different designs. I decided to hot foil the beautiful Fireworks Stencil across the dark night blue sky to add a bit sparkle and extra finish touch. The cute Buns Out Stamp Set was paired with a couple of small stamps from other sets to add a fun touch by dressing the hamburger with a chef hat and refreshing the whole design with some bottles of soda.

Key Ingredients:

• Newton’s 4th of July Stamp Set
• Newton’s 4th of July Die Set
• Fireworks Stencil
• Sky Borders Die Set

Step By Step Instructions:

• Die cut from Strathmore Bristol Paper all the elements you need, using the coordinating Newton’s 4th of July Die Set. I used on this project Sizzix Big Shot Die Cutting machine. Save the negative parts of the dies.
• Stamp the outline illustrations from Newton’s 4th of July Stamp Set with VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink. Use the negative parts of the dies as a guide for a perfect alignment inside the stamping positioning tool.
• Color the stamps with TOMBOW DUAL BRUSH MARKERS, using a water brush for blending. I used:
  • N79 -055 – 515 -526 – 528
  • 873 – 899 – 977 – 992
  • plus Zig Clean Colour Real Brush marker n. 61 Light Brown
• Trim and score an extended A2 size card base (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″) from Neenah Solar White paper.
• Trim a slightly smaller rectangle from a Bristol cardstock to create a background piece since it’s smoother than Neenah paper.
• Ink the background with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide, Peacock Feathers Distress, Salty Ocean Distress, Blueprint Sketch Oxide, Chipped Sapphire Distress, Black Soot Distress inks.
• Flick some tiny droplets of a clear shimmer spray all across. Let the background air dry or heat set it with a heat gun.
• Apply Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo through Fireworks Stencil. Tape well the paper to the stencil with a removable tape to prevent any movement. Let the gel air dry until it becomes transparent.
• Preheat a laminator for about 20 minutes, cut out and apply Gina K Sparkling Silver Foil with a shiny surface facing up on the background, place the inked background and the foil inside the parchment paper and send the sandwich through the hot laminator.
• Let the paper cool down for a couple of seconds and release the shiny pattern.
• Die cut two cloud edged pieces using Sky Borders Die Set from Neenah Solar White paper and from a vellum.
• Stamp the sentiment.
• Arrange all the elements on the card front. Glue the vellum in place with some foam dots, pop other stamps on a foam tape for fun dimensional look.
• Finish with a couple of highlights added with a white gel pen.

Key Ingredients:

• Buns Out Stamp Set
• Buns Out Die Set
• Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set
• Sunscape Stencil
• Gingham Stencil
• Newton’s Kitchen Stamp Set

Step By Step Instructions:

• Die cut from Neenah Solar White paper two cheeseburgers using the coordinating Buns Out Die Set, two chef hats using Newton’s Kitchen Die Set and three bottles of soda using Woodland Picnic Die Set. I used on this project Sizzix Big Shot Die Cutting machine. Save the negative parts of the dies.
• Stamp the outline illustrations from Buns Out Stamp, Newton’s Kitchen Stamp and Woodland Picnic Stamp sets with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Use the negative parts of the dies as a guide for a perfect alignment inside the stamping positioning tool.
• Color the stamps and dies with COPIC MARKERS. I used on this card:
  • buns YR20-YR21-YR23-YR27
  • brown E30-E31-E33-E35

• Trim and score a small slimline card base (6″ x 3 1/2″) from Neenah Solar White paper.
• Trim another 6″ x 3 1/2″ rectangle from a cream cardstock.
• Apply a white embossing paste through Gingham Stencil all across the cream background. Tape well the paper to the stencil with a removable tape to prevent any movement. Let the paste air dry.
• Die cut Slimline Frames & Portholes Die from Neenah Solar White paper and trim it to 6″ wide piece.
• Inked the inner circles with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink through Sunscape Stencil with a very light hand.
• Stamp the sentiment inside the central piece.
