Use it Tuesday challenge

Oh My goodness.... I love making cards... and I love using things that I haven't used in a long time... gives me a GREAT feeling... so when I saw this challenge I thought how neat is this???? 

You have to use something that you have not used in a long time... well how about never having used it???  I have  few of those things... and also a lot of not used in a long long time things...  



We also had to use Red, White and Blue... so when I started to think about what I would create... I thought that making a birthday card for my Grandson, along with this challenge would be perfect... since his birthday is in July... and near enough to the 4th... and red is one of his favorite colors... so this was just perfect... 


I also love to create a card that does something... after all he is only 7 and loves action... so I decided to do a swivel card... so that when he opens the card... it will flip... flip to open...  yes.,.. 


I used the red, white and blue theme... and then added some other things too... I had never used this cute little cupcake with mouse digital... and I had never used the sheet of sticker letters... so those were my two NEVER used... and then for the my not used in a long time... they are the number embossing folder... and also the happy birthday and cupcake punches... I love them and have not used them in a very long time... 



BUT... the Happy Birthday embossing folder and the cupcakes on the inside??? Well it has been over a year since I have used either of them... maybe longer... 


So  I feel pretty good that I used some things that I haven't used in a long time.. and also used for the first time...

I also had to add some seam binding tape ribbon that I dyed... I love the look, I love making it... and I love the bin of it that I have to use... LOL... I think I love this stuff...  


Have a fun day... and enjoy this weather... I do hope you are having nice weather... we certainly are... a little warm.. .but hey it is summer in the south... what did we expect???  

Thanks for stopping by for a visit... and look forward to seeing you here more often... Love, Light and Peace....Bonnie
