Welcome to the 06-2020 IRBH! This month we are featuring projects with a 4th of July theme. When you first look at my card, you may wonder what it has to do with America’s Independence Day holiday, other than the obvious sentiment. It’s purple instead of red, white, and blue – wait, what?

I started to make a more traditionally hued card, I really did, but I just couldn’t find my mojo. I started looking through my stamp sets for inspiration and realized I was humming “America the Beautiful.” Just when I got to the line “purple mountain majesties” my eyes fell upon the Mountain Air stamp set. Light bulb! So I used the Mountain Air stamp set to create a scene of purple mountains, along with a purple lake and a purple sky. I imagined one of those sunsets with vibrant purple at the bottom (you know the ones I’m talking about, right?) that casts its purple glow on everything for a brief moment.

Here’s what I made for the 06-2020 IRBH:

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my paper trimmer:

• Gorgeous Grape card stock (CS) cut to 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
• Purple Posy CS layer cut to 5-1/8″ x 3-7/8″
• Whisper White Thick CS cut to 4″ x 1-1/8″
• Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside of the card base

Stamped with the Mountain Air stamp set:

• trees/water and first row of mountains in Gorgeous Grape ink across the center of the Purple Posy CS layer
• second row of mountains in Highland Heather ink above the first row
• third row of mountains in Highland Heather ink, stamped off once, above the second row
• mountains upside down in the water in Highland Heather ink, stamped off once
• inked up just the bottom (water) part of the tree/water stamp with Gorgeous Grape ink and stamped below the original water stamp

Stamped with the Make a Difference stamp set:

• “Happy 4th” in Gorgeous Grape ink onto the strip of Whisper White Thick CS

Cut using the Timeless Label Punch:

• both ends of the sentiment – I inserted each end down into the back of the punch to cut.

Assembled the card:

• burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
• Purple Posy CS layer glued onto the front of the card base
• sentiment adhered onto the Purple Posy CS layer using Stampin’ Dimensonals
• 5-1/4″ x 4″ Whisper White CS glued onto the inside of the card base
