So much to celebrate: the summer Olympics, 4th of July and my first post for the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog. This week's theme is sporty and/or patriotic, and the design team is using Cuttlebug products (not a challenge requirement, but why not use 'em if you've got 'em?).
If you know me, you know I am not very sporty-so I went with the patriotic theme. For my project, I have used two Cuttlebug folders: Stars & Candy Cane Stripe:
To make the glittery stripes, I applied strips of Be Creative tape and covered them in Glitter Ritz. To distress the star panel, I applied Picket Fence Distress Stain.
As always, the fabulous Heidi from Simon Says Stamp is offering a $50 shopping voucher to a random winner who enters this week's challenge. All you have to do is ENTER to win!
Don't forget to stop by my blog every Wednesday for another great challenge project for the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog, and of course another chance to win. Can't wait to see what you create for this challenge! See you next week!

I love that 3 of us used the same embossing folder, and they all came out so different! Love the little firework in the center of your card, too - perfect!

Super cool Cheiron. I am totally going to play but one question...What's Glitter Ritz??? (stamping slowpoke here)

Hi Lalo,
It is a microfine glitter and it is fabulous. I have linked to it in the supplies below (it's the red glitter square!).
