Welcome to the CANADA DAY Blog Hop hosted by Tara & Jacqueline. I was so thrilled when I got invited to participate. If you are here via Cheri then you are in the right spot. If you would like to start at the beginning please click here. In honour of Canada Day, we are all making a project with a Canadian theme!
This card was so super simple. I used a piece of red cardstock for an A2 sized base and used my fiskars corner punch to round the edges. The rest were scraps from my stash. The stamp came from Michaels and I just dipped an aqua pen in my Stampin Up Real Red ink to colour the heart. I ran the strip of blue through my cuttlebug and added with popdots. I nearly beat my head against the wall wondering which cart would have a Maple leaf before remembering I owned Speaking of Fall. This was the first time I used it. I knew it would come in handy eventually.
And because I love giveaways, I'm offering up my own prize. Which oddly enough is a Canadian company named Magenta. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment telling me what you love about Canada Day (or for my American Friends, the 4th of July) and what you will make with this stamp set.
