Happy Saturday!

Welcome to the Super & Everyday Hero Blog Hop!

I am so happy you could join us on this fabulous hop!

If you have arrived from Megan's blog, you are in the right spot. 

If you just happened to stumble across the hop today on my blog and would like to start at the beginning,

then be sure to hop on over and see Joy at Joyslife.com.

For my project, I decided to make a gift for my daughter, who loves super heroes!

We are getting pretty excited about the new Superman movie that is getting released in theaters next month so I decided to go with Superman!

For my card, I used the Superman shield, found in the Silhouette online store, and popped that up using some foam adhesive onto my blue card base. I added a little border across the bottom of my card using some white cardstock and yellow cardstock that was punched with the upper crest border punch. Before I adhered my bottom border onto my card base, I stamped that super cute sentiment from the MY HERO stamp set from Joy's Life Stamps and added some red satin ribbon. Once that was done and adhered, I simply rounded the top corners of my card and added a little bling. 

Here is a close up of my sentiment:

Cute huh?

 There are so many great sentiments on the MY HERO stamp set from Joy's Life Stamps.

I also decided to make her a decoration for her room to go along with the card.

I simply cut out the Superman shield using some red vinyl and adhered it to the front of my glass block.

I wasn't too crazy about the white cording from the lights showing so I tied some yellow curling ribbon to the light string and then put my lights inside the block. Then I added some blue satin ribbon to the sides and tied it together at the top of the block with a bow. 

Here is a picture of the block lit up:

One final picture of the card and block together:

She loves it! She is a "super kid" so this is perfect for her!

Now we just have to patiently wait for the movie to be released lol!
