Happy Independence Day! I hope you all have a wonderful day today! I wasn't quite ready to put the red, white, and blue away, so I'm back with one last patriotic card! We're headed to the parade this morning, my son wants to go bowling, we'll have a barbecue, and then watch fireworks! I hope you all have some fun plans with those you love!
To begin this card, I cut an A2 panel of white cardstock and then used the Big Yay Stencil. I also added some blue and red ink splatter to make it appear even more festive! Next, I die cut it using the Sweetest Frames Die and then stamped the border using the Sweetest Frames Stamp Set.
I stamped the sentiment using the Land of Liberty Stamp Set and then cut it using the Land of Liberty Die. I attached it in the center using foam squares for dimension. I also added a bow that is also included in the Sweetest Frames Stamp Set (linked above).
The background was created by stamping the Spring Meadow Background using Pacific Point ink from SU! on an A2 panel of Spring Rain cardstock. I layered the sentiment panel using foam squares.
I had a few flowers left over from the tags I made for THIS post and I thought they looked so cute tucked around the sentiment.
The finishing touch is a few stars that are die cut from silver glitter cardstock using the Star Struck Die. I added the larger ones with foam squares and the smaller ones are adhered with liquid glue. I gave the entire panel a spritz of shimmer spray and then glued it to a top-folding A2 card base using liquid glue. I'm feeling a little sad to be putting away the patriotic stamps/dies, but I've sure had fun with them this year. I was quite proud of myself for sending ALL of the patriotic cards I made over the last few years to friends this year. Thanks for fluttering by!
