Welcome back for another Festive Friday!
We’re ready for SUMMER and counting down to the 4th of July for our latest challenge. I wanted to have some fun mixing stamp sets and watercoloring on hot press card – a new love for me! I think you’ll really enjoy this project, so give it a try! You can change up the popsicles to be any “flavor” you want – perhaps you’re more of a fudgesicle type – go for it! Of course, with the Altenew Way Too Sweet stamp set, you could swap out the popsicles for ice cream cones too. This is a classic layout, so dive into your stash and use what you have.

Looking for ideas – here’s a few:
- Get ready for your patriotic events and create some fun decor – tablescape items, placecards, food markers, patriotic banners or bunting.
- Work up a scrapbook page or other memory-keeping to commemorate a fun summer or Independence Day event.
- Think up a fun, quick and simple project that the kiddos can do with you. Foster their creativity and cut down on screen-time!
